    Bingo ! Nothing agains the retrofit but it ain't full blown JCW

    I guess it will matter in 20 years at a MECUM AUCTION. lol.

    Ahh thanks for the reply. I really had no idea what the "f" stood for in fJCW.

    I learned something today. :crazy:

    My 05 MINI was a fJCW but I have updated way past the JCW and GP now so it's more of a RMW/JCW. :devil::Thumbsup:

    Welcome again to M\A.

    I enjoy the color. Not too many like it. Plans are

    HELIX IC ( on order in group buy)
    NM strut bar ( on its way found used )
    NM 22 mm rear sway
    GP2 belly pan and rear diffuser
    ECS CF intake ( it's just so pretty looking )
    BMS piggy back tune
    Mixed emotions about wheels. When I decide I'll get non RFT's
    Have snows already
    Have all interior led lighting and puddle lamps Clutch stop, Shorty antenna
    Home link mirror retrofit
    It's already tinted
    Pop the pins on the strut mount and get the little bit of neg camber and realign
    Won't lower it ..... NY + lower = mess it's a daily driver. I'm to old for the harsh ride

    That's about it off the top of my head.

    Thanks too all for the warm welcome.

    f is for FACTORY /OEM as opposed to dealer installed retrofit. I know it was earlier models but I just stuck with it.

    Haa. We're never too old to learn something new.

    On the way home today I learned where the soft rev limiter starts!

    factory JCW which means it has the JCW internals and transmission not just the bumpers and badges.
    I know what you thought the "f" meant [emoji12]

    Now I'm curious about these interior lights.
