Hi all after some advice. Considering this as a wee runabout, fun car. Does it look correct, opinions please. I am no means an expert on these.

If it's early it'll be an N14 engine, which suffer from coke build up... a de-coke is about £250 depending on where you go (without that, your power will be lacking)

Looks nice but it's a real shame to have a JCW without the bodykit! That makes the car imo.

This won't be the full fat 211bhp factory JCW - this is the Cooper S with JCW kit, extra power etc over the normal Cooper S (197bhp rings a bell). Think it was airbox, exhaust and remap. The proper JCW got a different turbo, and also different engine internals IIRC.

This one has the JCW brakes but they are a common retrofit
