R56 S Swap For R56 JCW S

Iam in need of some help but i might past help already ! In January i got myself a Laser blue R56 S great car wouldn't swap it for the world had it for 10 months got the car on the gap payment option. I feel in the need of a change and fancy taking it back to the dealer and get another one but with a total different spec and colour.
I would want chili red black roof and mirror caps, bonnet strips, spot lights, body kit, JCW conversion, black JCW alloys plus the rest. I think that i have lost the plot somewhere along the line and don't know what to do for the best.

You'll loose loads swapping so quickly... not do some mods to what you have to make it feel different ?

I looked into swapping mine for a new one rather than have aero and works kit fitted. far too costly at the moment to do in first year. I would have yours upgraded. i'm sure you won't regret it.

just get the JCW kit fitted, i have had mine for nearly a year (lucky one who got his in November last year)

and then wear rose tinted glass's this may have the efect of changing the colour of your car to red ? and will be a lot cheaper .

Yes, I can confirm that the plot has been lost You would lose a fortune, and it's just not worth it just to change the colour from blue to red.

My advice is to wait until the 'proper' R56 JCW Cooper S has been released next summer, and change for one of those - it will be a better bet than an upgraded R56 S, and MINI will likely have ironed out a few more wrinkles. I have every suspicion they will do an 'early' facelift on the R56.

If you have your heart set on more power, then just get the JCW upgrade - still much less money than you'd lose if you changed.

MINI will do something boost the sales even higher. They will come out with a very attractive package each year. Considering how much money would be lost by selling within a year, I would hold out until at least the car is two years old.
