Hi James,

thanks for the response and welcome, warranty was a potential aspect when considering to go JCW or not but it does seem quite expensive compared to competitor's products. I guess I have to consider the risk of out of warranty work costing in excess of 2000 (the approx difference between jcw kit and a gtt 220) in case things do go wrong.

One more question if thats ok and a silly one at that (i am new though

) - stuff like the stripes etc on the bonnet; I guess this is easy enough to get the dealer to apply or would you recommend a third party instead?

Regards,

Mark

Well your mini is the same year as mine and therefore nearly out of manufacturers warranty therefore I would not buy the JCW kit for £3500 (yes can be fitted at dealers). I would either buy parts from 1320autos, GT Tuning, lohen etc. Just depends on your budget and what power you want

I mainly have JCW parts but shopped around for them and got most of my bits brand new but for good prices, and I wanted it looking as stock/JCW for when I was taking it into the dealers so it wouldn't void my warranty.

Hope this helps

Regards

James
