Not another JCW! Story behind this one, is that I know of this car well! Its a friend who bought this particular Mini brand new, and its been so well looked after. Not short of a few quid they ticked every single option, and I mean every option! It has things like HUD, rear camera, Excitement pack, G meter, boost and torque, heated screen, Rader cruise, self park, comfort access, folding mirrors, active adjustable suspension, Heated Seats, heated windscreen JCW Pro exhaust which is outrageous! HK sounds with extra Subs, Front and rear parking sensors, amongst others. Its also what I think is the best colour combo and I always said if they sell it, I'd like it. Well they just taken the keys to their new M2 so I bought it off them.

Ill be doing all the Gloss black bits again along with the splitters to get it looking mean, and I've swapped the wheels over so it has my new MPS5 tyres on!

What's the plan then Boba? Swap bits over to the white one and then get rid of the red one?

No, I have bought all new bits for the White one and they are just starting to turn up now. I really like the red one but its pointless having both. No hurry to sell it though!

Few gloss black bits tuned up today!

More black bits fitted, stripes and Belt line done, its Getting there! I've buggered up my fingers again now removing & fitting these bloody front and rear splitters, the clips and catches are brutal to get off and on!

REd all day every day!

I know you're a mad man, but you buying another did throw even me :ROFLMAO:

The problem is you mod them so quickly, so it doesn't cure your hobby/addiction for long enough to make them a value for money job...

Ha - I know I'm mad and there is no cure! Pity me!

I love the red, both drive identical, but the Silver/white is just a better car, being one owner Vs 3 owners, full Mini history Vs some specialist, and has every single option Vs a well optioned car. I also know its not been over 5k revs as well!

I dunno!

Get rid of both and buy something else for us to watch!

Do you prefer the “extra nostrils” versus the fogs plus one “mouth” of the Cooper?

I’ve changed my mind - I like the white more.

That’s what you get with two many bloody choices :ROFLMAO:

So the red one went today, so decision made!

Its finished now. Installed a brand new steering wheel, Finished off the last black challenge touch's, and fitted the sweeping 21 Union jack tail lights!






Pleased!
