The person in parts reckoned it needed to be moulded and stuck on! I said that can't be true from what I'd heard. I'm waiting for a call so he can explain how it'll be put on. Although, he did say they hadn't put one on for a long time . I'll have to wait and see.

I honestly think they may be mixed up with the R53 one as that used to be bonded onto the car the new one is just bolts and double sided body trim tape.

Let us know what they say anyways.

Just backs up my case that the JCW Kit and the JCW Spoiler are the dogs nads and have benefitted the R56 to new customers (such as moi! ).

Very nice however and congrats on the new car!

As much as you should keep within the recommendations from the manual when running it in, but I gave up doing that after 600/700 miles . As long as you don't hammer it to the line all the time, the Cooper S is designed to be driven harder.

I'd say the most important thing is at least don't touch the sports button until you pass 500/600 miles. The breaks take 300 miles to run-in and you'll want full stopping power!

I don't usually like red cars, but that's stunning. The stripes on the bonnet coupled with the black air scoop and the black surround on the grille look fantastic.
