At MIN United Todd got the opportunity to catch up with Udo Mark, the technical coordinator of the MINI Challenge world-wide. Details on the Challenge car set ups, rules and differences between the street legal JCW and the JCW Challenge car are discussed.
Stay tuned for even more audio from MINI United 2009.

<p>That was a good interview – nice to know they are thinking expansion.</p>
<p>But now lets turn our attention to the JCW body kit on the green safety car in the picture. Note the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>extended black spoiler, nearly as big as an aftermarket splitter, but this looks so much better IMO. This is bigger even than the new version of the JCW kit with the larger air damn.</p></li>
<li><p>brake duct inlets where the fog lamps usually sit. Not brake ducts coming off the lower grill. This seems right to me – the fog lamps can go at the sides of the grill. It seems to make sense that the big square that look like brake ducts are actually brake ducts.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Richmond BC RCMP has taken delivery of a Cooper S Clubman and is converting it to a police car and blinging it up so it can be taken to tuner show n shine events. I’ve been asked if there are any ideas on how to make a Clubman look unique and turn heads with the tuner crowd. The pace car look would be a good idea.</p>

<p>Part numbers for these things?</p>
