This JCW Cooper was at Mini Circuit Day in Japan a few weeks ago... I meant to post this pic sooner, but I kinda forgot about it... Oops...

Anyways, you can see the new wheels in this pic as well as a glimpse of the new rear wing... It actually looked pretty nice.

I have to say, i'm not too keen on the new wheels or the spoiler. But the overall
look of the car just fits together. That is one tasty motor!

I don't mind the wheels, but that spoiler looks a bit too "ricer" to me.

Which makes sense if it was at a Japanese car show

Overall, a nice mini tho.

Ricer? Actually, the spolier is made by JCW too. I didn't think it was too Japanese looking... If anything, Japanese people want their Minis to look more European...

Anyways, it was a Mini sponsored event and this car was a JCW showpiece that belonged to Mini... I seriously doubt that JCW designed this wing to appeal only to their small Japanese audience...

It just looks fairly typical of what we see on a lot of japanese cars such as skylines, WRX's and the like.

Might just take some getting used to, afterall we have been used to the MINI spoiler for awhile.

I didn't mean any disrespect to JCW, but like most of these things, personal preferences and tastes come into it - what will appeal to some may not appeal to others, I guess that is why the MINI has such an extensive optional extras list.

I reckon it looks fantastic - take off all the decals, stripes and roof stuff and you have a winner!!!!

Much prefer the older wheels, and the spoiler looks wrong. And it's grey

But it doesn't look too bad I suppose

I was at JCW about 6 weeks ago and they had the new spoiler on a JCW Cooper there.

It is actually made of carbon fibre and you can have a choice of colours for the fittings and end pieces for the wing, black or silver I think.

At a price of £440 it is a little expensive!

Though doesn't look too out of place, have seen similar 'wings' on other less than tasteful looking modded cars!
