Sind die Tuergummis hart oder weich?
Wenn die hart sind dann ist das das Beweis das man noch immer die alten harten Gummis verwendet

Dann dürfte doch von der technischen Seite aus gesehen bei einer Neubelederung so etwas machbar sein.
Doch das wird bestimmt in einem anderen Thread diskutiert.
Ich habe voriges Jahr schonmal nachgefagt, als die Gré Einverstanden war das Lenkrad neu zu beledern, und die Antwort von Cools war das er (noch) nicht zufrieden war mit dem Angebotene Lenkradheizung auf dem Markt. Also wuerde er es nicht machen. Leider wollte Gré keine belederung am Lenkrad und deshalb nicht gemacht.

Oeps,
Das Nummernschild ist weg
Tja, dann wird es fuer den Haendler schwierig den zu verkaufen.
Gerade das gelbe Nummernschild gibt in die Masse (weisse Nummernschildern) den Unterschied.
Ich druecke den Haendler die Daumen

I can see its a very active forum too! My thanks to all your members for their opinions and help!
I can't post on your forum but to answer one of their questions about why Mini dealers might not service a Mini fitted with the JCW Pro exhaust but would be willing to service a Mini with a Remus or Supersprint... I think this is a bit strange too, but what I was told is that the Remus and Supersprint units are approved for sale in Japan, meaning they passed whatever sound regulation tests were necessary and thus has whatever seal of approval is necessary (regardless of how loud they actually were) whereas the JCW Pro unit is not approved for sales in Japan and thus Minis with this muffler could be refused service. Personally I had never heard of this before (and I have owned more than 20 sports cars in Japan over the past 30 years, most of them with aftermarket mufflers), so I will check more deeply to find out if this is true for all dealers or just the one I talked to....
Today I was talking with a Mini dealer/official distributor for Remus and they said that although the current Remus unit was designed for the Cooper S and the catalytic converter is slightly different, it will indeed fit the JCW with a simple adapter. Only problem is that on the JCW the difference in the catalytic converter often sets off a warning light that can only be turned off by bringing it in to the dealer.
I also found out that Arqray is now working on a special titanium muffler made especially for the F56 JCW (first muffler of any maker I've found so far developed specifically for the JCW rather than the Cooper S) so I may wait a bit more until this one comes out before making the move..
Been talking with both an official Remus dealer for the US who belongs to this forum as well as my closest Mini dealer (that happens to be one of the few Mini dealers in Japan sanctioned to do tuning with non-Mini parts and is an official Remus distributor) and learned a couple interesting things:
1) According to the American distributor, the Remus F56 (Valvetronic) system that has been sold until now was for the Cooper S only though several people have gone ahead and fitted it to their JCWs
2) He also said that the newer F56 Remus system is compatible with both the Cooper S and JCW
3) The Japan dealer is now checking with home office of Remus in Austria to get the latest info and sounds like he is willing to bring in the JCW-compatible model if he can find and source it
