I'm perfectly happy to believe that most people think that the JCW aerokit in the accessories brochure (as shown on the Hatch in the Works publicity materials) looks attractive.

I can even believe that there are people who will welcome the restricted choice of colours for the Works in the UK.

But is there anybody on this planet who thinks that the aerokit that is shown on page 3 of the Canadian Works PDF is anything other than ruddy awful?

Seen here at MotoringFile | MINI Cooper news, reviews and opinion.

As if the Canadians don't already have enough to contend with.

But if *that* is supposed to be the aerokit that UK purchasers are being asked to wait nine months for, I do not want to think about how I might react.

Let's just keep our fingers crossed that those pictures represent nothing more than some marketting flunky's experimentation with Photoshop.

That is the current factory fit aerokit....I assume most folk in the UK would be expecting the JCW aerokit.....I will tell you now that if the UK models come with that abomination I am off to the Audi dealer for a TTS......


Black to the future....
