    It started life as a MCS. It now has all JCW bits except for the body kit. Be easier just to post a list of the mods. It would have been much cheaper to buy a JCW from the get go, but I had every intention of leaving this one stock and just driving it. That lasted about a month.

    @vetsvette - nice little product review. Do you happen to have any pics of the US Millworks? Does it mount in the same place?

    So late AND unrelated reply: How did you get actual fog lamps on an F56 JCW? That was not even an option once I went with the JCW.

    On a more related note: I have the CS mount and I love it. Works like a charm and looks good too. I went with it over the other options because it was easy to install and remove.

    That's odd. It says...

    JCW Pro, Helix, CravenSpeed, ArmaSpeed, ByteTronik, Milltek, Sneed4Speed, Sparco, M7, BC Racing, and some other stuff.

    Admittedly OT: So what does it mean that you have Cooper S that is a JCW Pro?

    Hmm.. this makes me think. Wonder if somehow I can "auto" generate a link to members garage. I think you have that information in there already. I already have a list of changes I want to make to the garages... including adding sections that are more specific to HP/Tuning. I do have a field for HP input and Torque.. but I also have a list from @oldbrokenwind with some great suggestions for tuners. Once I get Classifieds really up and working the way I want, that will be the next thing (after I finish the supporting member ad removal project... yea that is going to take a little time.. but will get done). :)
