Default AndyG's new MINI

Hello all,

just thought I would upload some photos of my new MINI, which I took delivery on Thursday. As some of you know, I had a '08 Cooper S, which I added the JCW aero and performance kit to. Absolutely fantastic car, loved every minute driving it. Someone is going to get a very well loved and looked after MINI, as I traded it in for a new JCW.

The S had a very big spec for the age, so I made sure I had at least everything from that in terms of spec on the new one (which to my surprise is now nearly all standard on a JCW) and a couple of other extras too. I'm so happy with the JCW, it is just a monster!

I just need to pop back to my local dealer next week for the windows to be tinted and the JCW strut brace to be swapped over from the S, and then I'm done.

Opinions welcome, thank you,

Andy

That is a very very nice looking JCW, a very good choice

Thank you I'm very happy with it. The colour is Eclipse Grey, I'd not seen it before I went on the MINI website, non on the road by me. The sales woman at the MINI dealership said it was new, it was either that or white. In some lights it looks black and others almost racing green... that might just be my eyes with the last one though

I didn't think it was black when I was looking at the pictures, I also thought it looked a little like BRG. Look forward to seeing Eclipse Grey in the flesh, looks like an interesting colour. Very nice car though, looks the business.
