Parted exed my MK6 GTI on Saturday, replaced with a Mini R56 JCW.
After a long drive back from Scotland to Lincolnshire, i have to admit the GTI is a far better all rounder, but for the pure thrill of driving the JCW is a totally different car in every way for the better.
I would advise anyone who has never driven one to get on a good road for a fast drive, i guarantee you will not be disapointed. I just cant wait for some good dry weather to really test it out.
Glad you are enjoying the new mini but what does a R56 version mean? Also did you get the tail lights recoded ok?
