Good choice. Colour / Spec?
My biggest regret when I had the JCW was not getting a stock MCS and modding it engine wise. You need to address the awful run flat issue as a priority. The ride was shocking in mine and tramlined like a mofo.
Panoramic roof = heavy bent. Needs a cage to stiffen it up again

Will put some more detail/pics up when i collect it on the 9th March, but essentially:
'52 plate, 64k miles, full BMWSH, Dark Silver, Chili/Visability packs, black roof & mirrors, electric pan roof, full leather, facelift front xenons, 3 spoke steering wheel & 17" bullet alloys (inc. newish Conti runflats).
I personally prefer the s-spokes so will probably get some of those at some point, & a 15% pulley will be going on at some point as well.
Sarah's brother has one with 235bhp so he's been bombarding me with cr4p for it already lol.

Sounds nice, low miles for a 52 plate. Look forward to seeing it. And yes, pulley along with other mods will certainly need to be done!

GP or nout you fag!

I was looking forward to seeing you progress with the T but I assume it would follow the same route as the previous one.
I do like a cooper s. though my missus had a standard grey one with white roof and wheels, and was great, but not so great on fuel. It's was a fairly stiff ride compared to the 182's she had but so much fun and sounded great. I'm sure you already know this though!

Sod that, they are daft money. Over the one ive bought they have an extra 50bhp (not exactly hard to get), an LSD, two less seats and a silly bodykit. Yes, there is a certain price to pay for exclusivity, but not an extra £9k lol.

I sort of wish i would of bought a mini instead of the megane, will look foward to seeing how you get on with it day to day.

Mines got the JCW exhaust, so with some more boost & Dave F induction it'll sound the same anyway
Golf isnt really advertised properly yet as i need to get the plate off - hopefully got someone from the R32OC looking on Sunday though ...

We sold the cage to Dave and it fitted in his Trophy unfitted for transporting home... Iirc when fitting it in our 182 we had one front seat out to get it in - it's quite tight especially with Recaro's as they don't go as far forward as standard seats / seat back is wider and higher if that makes sense?

Lol!! Amazing what a bonus does to your way of thinking.
Before = nah mate, way too expensive, silly money etc
After = sod it, i like the silly spoiler, the extra £9k is well worth it
Cage fits in the car no probs, think i removed the passenger seat to fit it, just made things a liitle easier

Does it go in trough the boot or is that not an option. If not, I might borrow my dad's x type estate lol.
Thanks for the info.
You will be able to transport in the clio no probs. When I picked mine up it went in fine with seats down.
You will need to remove a seat in the front to fit it though.
Take plenty of blankets with you to wrap it up so you don't damage seats / trim.

Im not sure tbh, @Nick172Cup sold it to @Kelv & he track prepped it, but his mate blew the engine up or something. No idea after that :down:
Yup!! Trophy V1. Im not sure who was more gutted when it met its fate, you or me 😂

Was it this one you and the boys 'detailed'?
Yep still going, Kelv is tarting it up nicely with lots of good parts but isn't rushing to get it sorted. Hopefully be out soon, big regrets for letting that go tbh.
