Rebel Green F56 JCW

[Kproctor22]

Never did I think I would source a car via Instagram it helped that my mate owned the car 10 months ago so I had a fair idea what I was looking at so off @Cproc14 and I went to collect this absolute weapon Spec includes…
Rebel Green
Manual
Full Pro Kit
Pro Exhaust
XL media and nav
Rear parking sensors
Recaro seats
Bilstein B16 coilovers
Orranje wheels spacers
JB4 tuning box
Mishimoto induction kit
Basically new M-tec grooved discs with EBC yellow stuff pads
Union Jack Lights
Alcantara steering wheel
The car is immaculate apart from stone chips on the front as seems to be common on minis but I’m over the moon with it. Clearly been an extremely well looked after example in a rare colour (which looks black in all photos ) I promise it is actually a dark green. It also sounds unbelievable with pops and bangs making it hilariously entertaining for me although maybe not so much for the residents of Bangor Definitely more childish than the M240i and I love it!
Here’s some photos from today collecting it.

Fantastic. Bet its a hoot to drive!

 

[Cproc14]

Majorly jealous and can confirm it’s a hoot to drive, especially through the tunnels on the way to Holyhead think I might have deafened everyone in those tunnels at the same time as us
It’s a much more subdued drive back from Dublin now

What an awesome colour!

 

[Todd]

Love it!

Does this have matte numbers on the doors? If so, I was beside you heading towards Bangor a few days ago and the colour is absolutely fantastic!

Edit: You only picked it up so wasn't you. There's two in Bangor. Comment stands, colour is wow.

Lovely colour and as said before, I'm sure it's a brilliant driving thing. Health to enjoy!

Looks similar to one that floated about Comber for a bit, I always admired it, sat well and the colour is outstanding!

Let’s just say I’m no longer sad to see the M240i gone…it was good but this is pure fun!

Will have to find out who owns the other one! The colour was a huge selling point although it’s not to everyone’s taste (my girlfriend needs some convincing )

My mate who lives near ballygowan owned it until 10 months ago so it’s probably the same car!

You’ll just want one again

You’ll just want one again

Probably, and I should have kept the previous one longer than 3 weeks

Matt's old car? Absolute weapon of a thing! HTD

It is indeed, he offered it to me last year and I said no but it’s back where it belongs now!

I wanted a green with red roof/mirrors like this:

They're a great car and sound ridiculous

 

[Blackie]

Very nice! Health to drive.

Same feeling here... came from M240i -> M2 -> R56 JCW - such fun cars!

Fantastic, health to drive

Yea after looking at other options I got a spin in a friends JCW last week and I was sold. Looked at GTI clubsport 40 or fiesta st performance edition aswell but always loved Minis so now was the perfect time to get one!

That's the one, sounded mental and sits so well!

 

[SPIKE_]

Congrats and looks really nice. JCW's are great cars full stop!

 

[Cranston88]

It looks amazing!

Looks so much better in person! Such a difficult colour to photograph as it just looks black

Can’t believe how much I’ve enjoyed driving this over the past few days
Looking at getting Apple CarPlay installed… it has pro nav with Media XL. Any recommendations for where to go for CarPlay would be appreciated. Have messaged BMW coding NI but know nothing about them.
