Small update: -Sold the BBS’s. I have some gloss black 18" OZ Ultraleggera’s with Yokohama Sports coming this week. Too bad I have to wait another 6 months to put them on. I’m sort of second guessing myself about this change but I think I’ll change my mind once the new wheels get here. -Finally got an oil catch can and dual boost port/block off plug (BSH), and mounted it where I wanted it. It took forever to figure out how to mount it and where to run the hoses since the engine bay is so damn small. I think it looks pretty good though. -Took the John Cooper Works badge off the hatch. Looks a lot cleaner IMO. Besides a few little things here and there, I _think_ I’m done till spring. I really need to get a nicer turbo heatshield that doesn’t look like crap. ![http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i153/drewstermalloy/JCW/IMG_0039.jpg](http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i153/drewstermalloy/JCW/IMG_0039.jpg) ![http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i153/drewstermalloy/JCW/IMG_0041.jpg](http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i153/drewstermalloy/JCW/IMG_0041.jpg) ---

I’ve thought about it but my hood scoop would melt in about 2 minutes. I’m just gonna buy this: [http://www.m7tuning.com/parts/product\_info.php?cPath=7\_8&products\_id=137](http://www.m7tuning.com/parts/product_info.php?cPath=7_8&products_id=137) ---

hey Drew, check out [www.vipcustomparts.com](http://www.vipcustomparts.com) they make some nice stuff for the R56’s as well. RMW Dyno tuned a non JCW with just a intercooler (not even CAI) and it ended up with 216whp and 248lbs of torque on Satuday. ---

Niiice. I can’t wait to be tuned in the spring. You finally got tuned too? How do you like it so far? I had some VIP parts on my previous MINI (base Cooper). I have their rear wiper delete in my JCW. They were pretty good, I’m thinking about getting their driving light setup and side scuttles. ---

Painted the headlight housings black (joey mod) and added some custom angel eyes to the OEM xenon shroud. Crappy pictures but I’ll take better ones soon. ![http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i153/drewstermalloy/012b8310.jpg](http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i153/drewstermalloy/012b8310.jpg) ![http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i153/drewstermalloy/dc39543b.jpg](http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i153/drewstermalloy/dc39543b.jpg) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/drews-2009-jcw/215989.md?page=2)
