Heres my MINI JCW 210.
I bought the car in May, with 65k on the clock, with all previous MOTs, lots of service records, and the important JCW install Certificates.
The only extras on the car are the 4 spotlights, Colour Coding, Alpine Bluetooth/ Ipod Headunit, and GP replica wheels.
Ive done nothing to her except Removed the centre Silencer in the exhaust, put in fuel, and about a litre of oil.
Fantastic little car! Ive never had much praise for them before, but I took out a friends Cooper S, and was converted, but decided I needed the extra power.
The car is now coming upto 70k, and still pulling stong, although I am tempted to upgrade the brakes to something a little stronger, change the wheels to something more OEM, and possibly remove the 4 spotlights on the front.
Anyways here are the pics.

I was looking for a blue Cooper S but ended up finding a perfect example in red so got that. Love the blue, your car looks great.
I agree about the wheels, they don't quite suit it. Are you going to have Cooper S wheels in silver? As for the spotlights...I have the same on mine and I think they look great on mine. I also think they look great on yours, but each to their own.
Here's mine - the red one (wish I'd got a blue one now
)

Wheels will be left in Silver, I think theyre called S Style or something.
I actually prefer the red, and grey, but at the time, I couldnt find a Works spec car, with years mot, 6 months tax, and years warranty in my price bracket.
The spotlights are going to stay, purely because of the fact theyre rivited onto the grill, and it would mean sourcing new grill, spraying etc to change it.

Funnily enough I went to view a 52 plate Works in grey with white roof, really well specced up with sat nav etc. Mileage was about 60k I think (or 80k, I can't remember), but when I went through the service history with a fine toothed comb, it was obvious that it had been clocked about 4 years ago, it definitely had over 100k miles on it. I was gutted, it was a lovely car.
Are the wheels you're talking about the ones on mine?

Yes a lucky escape. I had it HPI'd before I went to see it but it obviously doesn't pick up on something like the clocking.
Before I went to see my red one, I HPI'd it, and got the logbook ref number so I could check out the MOTs before I travelled to see it. Was a bit paranoid! But all checked out fine.
There are a set of wheels which I'd prefer on mine (I think these are too chunky-looking) but I'm not sure of their name. They're OEM split rims though. Got some 16'' Mini wheels sat in the garage, they look a bit like TSW Venoms - you know the ones? If they were 17'' I'd have them on straight away and sell you mine
