    Not only is MINI running a Roadster around the 'Ring but a Countryman JCW as well. The folks over at Autoexpress posted these images today of a potential JCW Countryman. All the JCW hallmarks are there, the deeper chin spoiler, the vented side skirts and the subtle diffuser out back. Looks like the exhaust is a little larger too.

    This one has the GP Style wheels, wonder if that is to clear bigger brakes. With those lower profile tires this is not off-roader.

    Funny, but to me all the MINI mules look lower than what actually shows up here in the USA.

    All I can say is I am glad I do not have a Countryman JCW... Those exhaust tips and the body work around them are going to be a PITA to keep clean... FAIL on that little design feature, MINI. :frown2:

    Good point and wonder if the area around them will melt as fast as the R56 hood scoops.... lol

    And then they'll have to release the tin-foil heat shields for the black trim. :lol:

    I like the front treatment and the sides, but the boot, not so much.

    I handled it this way.
