What do you think i should do next????????? iv got about £200 - £300 to play with at the minite.... Pretty much everything that is done to date is visible from the pics only things iv done you cant see and JCW sound kit, K&N, iridium plugs, lowered at the back (because the fronts didnt fit). Im thinkin i should get a set of lowering springs and get it lowered all round and then top and bottom strut bars... What do you guys think?

sorry about the pics was just abit of a grab anything i can find and bung it up

Why didn't the front lowering springs fit?

Mod wise, possible ideas for the cash...

Cooper S fuel cap
GTT upper brace
Halo sidelights

DUDE seriously??????????? i thought that would screw up the JCW re-map. Im actually just off the phone with my dealer to see if they could re-set my JCW kit because its getting a bit slugish and it was gunna cost £150 to get it done. Has anyone ever done a bluefin with the JCW? Does that 8BHP even make any difference at all?

i had heard that the works remap has to be done first, then the bluefin can be done after that!

dont hold me to it though

i already have the works just didnt think adding bluefin would help. Thought it would have messed up the car since the JCW stuff was on it

:confuse d:

The JCW remap doesn't add much power, if any and probably just tweeks the performance of the engine to suit the kit, e.g. more air available, better flow through the exhaust etc. The Bluefin will just overwrite that map and store the JCW one on its internal memory, you can swap it back afterwards and if you are not happy I believe you can return the unit to Bluefin within 7 days for a refund.
