2nd Gen JCW Most liked posts in thread: F56 MINI John Cooper Works Concept

I have a sense that BMW/MINI has made a major move into stickerdom.... It seems that there is an internal push in their design and development department to stick stickers everywhere on the new models..... Especially Chili red...

Through exhaustive Google street searching..... I've found the home of the BMW/MINI sticker executive.....

Take special note of the Bright Highways Grey siding....

 

Looks like lipstick on a pig......

My apologies to pigs everywhere.

 

BMW markup on red stickers is HUGE...

Design is better....
They still need to do something about the protruding "Carp" lips.... Front bumper is frickin HORRENDOUS....:frown2:

Wonder how hard it would be to shave that off?

 

Yellow is a good color because when I see it I speed up because the next color is red.

 

Well it has some Red on it so it should be fast.

 

Remember its only F56 MINI John Cooper Works Concept

I am sure they will be able to make it look worse if we just give them time. :devil::lol:

Maybe a triple catfish mouth will be an option. :idea:

 

I was thinking more along the lines of a Hibachi instead of a hood scoop. :idea:

 

Two things:

1. I like it better than the S.

2. I like red accents but I think they went overboard.

 

I don't understand all the decals MINI has been using. Even GM stopped decal'n the heck out of their cars years ago. At least decals can be removed, even if they are red Dave. :wink:

 

What is it with you and yellow Freddy? I happen to like yellow.

 

I can't believe you geniuses missed it. :frown2:
Look closely at the pictures. This JCW Concept isn't painted - it's stainless steel. :eek6:
The gullwing doors won't open, and the windows are blacked out so you can't see the mid-mounted, rear-drive Renault V-6.
OMG, it's John Z. DeLorean's long-lost MINI prototype! :yikes:

 

Everytime I see a picture of an F56 I get an overwhelming urge to grab my fishing pole...

 

While I do not hate it as a whole, I do hate those wheels, yuck! And that front bumper leaves a lot to be desired.

Maybe some performance numbers would console me a little.....

 

that is what I was thinking.

Maybe if the body color was "black" it would look better.

 

The GP3 is going to be incredible!

This is the first example of the F56 that I have liked. It just looks much better, but I wonder if that is because the overuse of red stickers/accents are creating an illusion of better lines then what actually exist.

Things I like:
- side scuttles
- rear spoiler
- the lower grill openings (seem to work with the idea of a more aggressive JCW)

Things I don't like:
- the red vinyl around the front and rear openings
- red trim piece in the upper grille (doesn't seem to tie in with anything else)
- the bonnet/roof stripe (always hated the look of one color on the bonnet and another on the roof)

 

Double dribbled.....

 

Time to trade the GTI Brian? :wink:

I think if it was de-taped it would look better. Not sure I can ever like that front bumper. Hope it looks better in person. :fingerscrossed:

 

Its not that bad minus the double catfish mouth...

 

Just looks boy racer (and that front end??!!).
