In the US, at least, you can't get the JCW tips without ordering the JCW engine kit.

Your local muffler shop may be able to make some for you, though.

Evidently --- Although I've only seen them on one JCW-equipped car so far. And he was the regional Mini rep...
They looked sharp on the MY car. The ground effects are aggressive and the $2600 wheels look serious.
I don't have the bankroll for those kinds of things though... ...I'm lucky my Sweetie is allowing me to have the driving lights installed on Friday.

Check out these items from MinSpeed; let me know what you think of those pipes.

Arnbut thanks for that, yopu will love the look of the spots we fitted our a couple of months ago my self looks great. That tail pipes on link look great but i'm one of those boring people who like to use OE products only what a fool i must be as more expensive sometimes for same thing

I'm with you on OE on many things, Derek.
Especially on the engine's breathing on a car that has a history of running warm...
I wouldn't want to fit a Borla system and then have Mini say I caused a catastrophic failure of some sort...
Now if Borla would offer an engine warranty as well as a rust-through warranty, well maybe.

I'll give a good look at the JCW stage-1 kit for the AT when it becomes available.

I put an aftermarket center armrest in the car that's very nice. It opens clamshell fashion rather than sliding forward ---- no accidental openings.
