Mini 2019 John Cooper Works

[Yosemite Sam]

Exhaust is awesome!!
I work for mini and we were invited to a track day in 15 of our cars.
One of them had this exhaust and they switched it to closed and confiscated the remote as it wouldn't pass sound tests with it open! Lol
The pops and crackles are immense.
Great work mate.

I used to but s**t happens...

Anyway, Pass noise test, get sticker, open flap, put remote in glove box, deny all knowledge.

Theres a good few up by me running 320bhp+ now, i hadn't realised you can get the paddle gearbox in them?

Yeh the auto box on these is so nice.
Sports + for when you want a bit more sportier gear change and then you can put it into manual and just use the flappy paddles.

Update - My new 2019 LCi JCW​

I thought i might as well update this thread instead of creating another.

I loved the car that much, that when it came time to renew, i ordered the same car again!

This 2019 LCi JCW has got the new front and rear lights, specced with Carplay as well as everything else my other one had and most importantly, automatic!

The Old - The New​

 

[Sam]

The first thing i did was drop it off at my local Mini for the stripes to be fitted as Doncaster Mini didnt have time.

The auto box is so good!!!

This the 300bhp model?

 

[Sam]

This the 300bhp model?

No. There isn't a 300bhp cooper yet as far as i know.

Thought that handover garage looked familiar

Ours has gone now to be replaced with

Needed a 5 door for car allowance!

I do like those new lights, but not a fan of the stripes! Each to their own

I played with the 140i thought for ages but then just decided to go with what I like. Haha

Can't have a mini without stripes [emoji10]

Not a fan of the new rear lights. But nice car non the less.

So I wanted to try and make this one a bit different from my last so decided to buy the rear diffuser for the JCW.

Decided to fit it myself although it’s the first time I’ve worked on a car in about 5 years.

Took me about 2 hours 40 to get it done after taking my time and doubled checking to make sure I didn’t break the new car. [emoji23][emoji23]

I think it looks amazing!!

Hopefully be able to give it a clean tomorrow morning and get it looking fresh. [emoji16][emoji16]
