Nice one mate, my short list of colours was grey, hyper blue and chilli red - there's one of each on here now
Ollie - it made 203bhp actually, every little counts
Damn you for having the newer steering wheel too - I want one
Always kind of liked those wheels personally!

Think you can just swap the wheels over but dont think they're cheap to buy.
My fave standard wheels are the ones you have really like them!
Hate runflats! Noisey as fook

It's about £200 for the wheel + £50ish for the steering controls and ~£50 for the coding, so yeh not cheap!
Ollie's got a set of Bullets with non runflats for sale
Oh and yeh, the HK stereo is awesome!

Fro, you can have mine with non runflats for £300ono with pratically new tyres. Wheels are in lovely condition as well.
You won't believe the difference it makes.

You could get top dollar for those wheels Fro, even make some money on them and have mine. Your car will drive a million times better and you made money, win win.

I'll give you a shout when it's viable for me, if they're gone they're gone.
One thing i do want is the darker mesh looking stickers that go in the rear bumper.
Like so:
pm'd a guy on mini2 site

Are you sure its a JCW if its averaging 30+mpg, mine was low 20's.
I removed the spots stright away, need to buy a new upper areo grille thought as it will leave holes in it.
I bought some of them stickers too for the areo rear as the original ones were a bit tatty.
Looks very similar to my old one actually apart from the wheels, facelift headlights look much better though.
P.S.The Harmon Kardon in them is great!

Massive pic though
It's got the engine covers and exhaust, and the tuning kit numbers/badges etc. was a 30 mile jaunt at 80 mind which has probably upped it quite a bit.
where did you get your stickers from as i think the guy on mini2 has stopped producing

Best MPG I had out of mine was at 90 (kph ) on cruise for about 40 miles Got 36mpg.
I tend to see between 28 and 32 depending on just how hard I drive it.

Removed pic, it's blocked at work so couldn't see how big it was.
I got them off mini2 but was a good 12 months ago. Ive got a set I never use because I originally ordered black with white mesh as was planning on having the car sprayed white but then changed my mind and got some black with silver mesh which I used. Doubt black with white mesh is any good to you though, wouldnt look right on grey.

Another MCS
The seats are Sparco Milano's. Later ones are Recaros.
I have a set of bullets in white, with slicks on if you want to buy them off me
