Any guesses what price it will come in at? If the Cooper S is £15ish, then I reckon Works will hopefully come in at £20k before any options, so with chili pack and a few other options maybe £24k with a good spec?

Id say so, bet you wouldnt get much change out of £25K!

Lovely pics Bridget but still no photos of the new JCW exhaust Has anubody noticed that the rear bumper exhaust plastic -that should be black but its painted in the car colour- its carbon fibre in the jcw model? Its clearly noticeable on bridgets photos, 2nd page...

[Maaij]

Anyone who is going to the show. Please make some close up of the JCW exhaust, Thanks

[Griffer]

The lower panel looks like carbon fibre on the JCW aero kit. Hopefully factory painted kits will have this.

Is it what you're looking for ? sorry it's a bit blur

[Sir Johnaraz]

Ahhhh yes Bridget thank you very much ...It look smaller than the standard one or its my idea ?

[CC07ERS]

Looks like a carbon fibre bit added @ the exhaust i wonder if that bit is in the works kit. Noing BMW it will be extra.

[envy]

Take it, thats the 192 Version

Wonder when the Stage 2 will be announced, must be soon by now

And any more pictures from other motoring sites, as i really am only seeing Cooper D & Mini One Pictures on sites

Am I the only one that thinks exposed carbon fibre looks cr*p???

It looks cheap and nasty - something you might have bought from Halfords !!!

My R56 S comes in at £26k.

I think a good spec will be closer to £30

Now thats a bargain!!! I could even afford to spend some extra money getting all that cr*p carbon fibre stuff painted!

Just back from Geneva, plenty of photos to upload tonight.....

JCW exhaust looks bigger than R53 Exhaust.

Carbon Fibre bits look good, not cheap. However, dont think these will be standard on a JCW or will more probably be options (at high cost!!)

New JCW seats are wonderful, being genuine Recaros items, however, the show car seats were very high mounted - my head touched the roof!!!! No height adjustment seemed possible..... This would be a disaster if it makes production (I'm not freakishly tall either)

No underbonnet changes to the JCW car on show save a badge.

Carbon Fibre dash was nice and had a idden cubby - wasnt sure if this was new or standard as I've never been inside a New New Mini before....

Shift light on steering wheel column were very pretty but would surely be very distracting if it were not on the track - so I hope theres an 'off button'....

Rear Spoiler is way over the top, looked like they were trying way too hard.

General thought on the rest of the car - very nice, but like they say in this months EVO magazine, there was nothing wrong with the original and the new one looks like a Chinese fake.

Photos to follow....

[minispaceman]

I have a couple of photos from the motorshow... Apologies for the size - i've had to squish them a bit.

Firstly, I really like the wheels on the demo car


And the exhaust looked massive. Really huge, shame there wasn't a standard one right beside for comparison...



But I have to agree with Tonyt3, the spolier is too much, really star-trek:



I have to say that I was pretty depressed by the mini stands at the motorshow, i really wanted to get some cool mini gadget or somthing form their store, but the stuff was dull. Not only that, but I wasn't so impressed with minis that they'd brought along. At least compared to last year it was a real dissapointment.

Not only that, but I really wish the JCW wasn't hashed around, it just looks like bmw want to screw all the cash they can out of it. Really. They should have came out with the full blown 4x4 250bhp beast to start with, if they can't squeeze the juice out of the 1.6, they'd just have to drop in a bigger block! Grrrrr! Why must we wait!

[Purple Dave]

That spoiler is just pathetic. I've seen toy cars with spoilers like that.

Seems to me that the exhaust just has oversize pipe finishers - the bore seems much smaller.

Another gimmick ????

Thats always been the way with JCW - pretty stock looking pipes with bling screwed to the ends....

[Tonyt3]

Short film next if I can manage to upload it....

[Paul]

The seats look good. It's a bit of a shame the reverse sensors are in the colour coded plastic, rather than the black trim as they are on the standard bumpers.

[Tonyt3]

I cant seem to convert the film from 3gp format to something that works....

Any volunteers...?

[Paul]

Pass...
