    Weird....
    So with the JCW options you can choose a Pep Boys rear wing that has reduced performance.... What were they thinking???:confused5:

    Justa noticed the Justa filler door on the JCW..... Weird again....

    So it's the Justa Cooper Works addition......

    I do like the tail lights though...

    It's the same on all coupés, isn't it? Presumably the coupé has the same reinforcing piece from the R57 that prevents the S fuel cap being used.

    Could be a last minute production change from the pre-production units????

    Rear spoiler looks kinda cool but blocks the standard spoiler that you are already paying for!!

    It did say the optional spoiler creates "less lift" so I would think that is a good thing. More down force on the rear... I wouldn't buy it though...

    Price wise their ought to be a discount if you order the optional spoiler. It has to be cheaper then the retractable one..

    I still want to know what happened to the paint matched wheels the 2 prototypes had on them...

    Also an article on the coupe in the new MC2 magazine I got yesterday.. and while I didn't read it completly yet.. but I thought it mentioned 250 HP in there some where..
    I'll read that article thoughly tonight..

    More downfarce on the rear = less on the front. Not sure on a street car it is more than automotive jewelry. If ya like the looks go for it. Me, I think I'd skip the park bench on the boot.

    JCW spoiler doesn't sound like a bad idea. More downforce, less weight (they remove the whole cassette, right?).

    It would make sense to remove the pop up wing. If they don't it seems kind of silly to me.
