JCW Disks......drilled/grooved?

Hi, I'm new here so please be gentle

I've just taken delivery of a brand new JCW but am a little confused as to the disks that should have been supplied with the car. I have 18" wheels and was expecting the drilled/grooved disks to be resting under them, sadly no

Are these an upgrade option as nothing was mentioned by the sales guy during the spec talk. Have spoken to Mini and the poor old fella couldn't answer.....he stated that the disks were included in the JCW upgrade for the MCS/other models....but didn't know if they came as standard

Anyone know?

The JCW upgrade brake kit includes drilled/slotted rotors. However factory fitted JCW rotors are plain.

Drilled rotors develop cracks under hard usage. They are sold primarily for cosmetics.
