The front and rear bumpers and sideskirts on your car are non-standard. They are the aerokit replacements for the originals. Makes the car look a little sportier.

Chellle · Dec 4th, 2007, 12:59 PM

not standard even on the works?

ALD0 · Dec 4th, 2007, 01:01 PM

You have colour coded side skirts, and the front and rear bumpers are different to normal facotry fit bumpers, very nice and worth about a grand

No ..... works is engine, exhaust etc performance enhancements. Although you can buy other JCW goodies

Chellle · Dec 4th, 2007, 01:03 PM

seems whoever "created" my mini went a bit mad with the extras then?

would the 18 " wheels and leather seats and xenon (sp) lights have been optional extras?

KPKalle · Dec 4th, 2007, 01:05 PM

Your wheels and leather seats are also JCW (or are the seats Recaro? - I've no idea). But the xenons were probably standard as I'm sure you have the Chili Pack.

Chellle · Dec 4th, 2007, 01:07 PM

seats are leather with the jcw logo

thanks for all this advice

you can tell i didnt research much hahahah

ALD0 · Dec 4th, 2007, 01:10 PM

For someone that didn't research you sure picked up a nicely specced and tidy looking car

Chellle · Dec 4th, 2007, 01:10 PM

dont worry im not that "green" that i didnt know JCW was all about performance,

i just assumed the skirts etc would have been part of the package

JAMIE1131 · Dec 4th, 2007, 05:01 PM

The wheels and seats would have been expensive extras! I'd guess that car cost some one a chunk of money when it was new!

Dawn · Dec 4th, 2007, 09:19 PM

yay !!! another girlie with a 'Works', welcome

Chellle · Dec 5th, 2007, 08:33 AM

Yeah im going to try and find out how much it was new

thanks for the welcome guys and dolls!

Chellle · Dec 11th, 2007, 03:02 PM

Hi Chelle,
What year is your jcw?? If you've got an extended warranty does that mean its older than 3? Mine is nearly at 25,000 miles but won't be able to get it in until service indicator is below 1000, what was yours at as a matter of interest?
