MINI2 at the International Media Launch of the MINI Cooper S with Works GP Tuning Kit

No, (well, I did a walk around which is quite funny as you can see my hands shaking!!). I need to get a vacu-cam or something similar really, be good for the next time.

How did sound from outside? On the video I posted a few weeks there was much more crackle and pop.

I'd like to see one comparing the power curve of the GP with that of the normal Works.

It's difficult though as they're on a different scale.

Outside it sounded very much like the regular JCW S (no surprises there really I guess).

Thanks, Paul. I notice we're still getting the 16" brakes. I guess we're getting really, really low profile tires.

Had a word with the guys at John Cooper Garages, looks like I will be booking mine in to get the back calipers painted and badged up.... No other JCW upgrades available for the rear so I will settle for colour coding them to match the front.

Wait, I just took a second look!!! We're getting 16" front & rear brakes.

Roughly quoted £160-£170 ish, have to call on Monday for a more accurate figure. Will probably go for it as I have always fancied visiting the place anyway. (I know I could do it myself and get it cheaper but I would much rather have it done and get the JCW receipt to go with the cars paperwork.... The drive would be fun anyway ) I know someone who has been and he reckons every Mini owner should visit the place.

At least this time they made them match.
