MINI announced the John Cooper Works version of its coupe last week, but if it is only performance you are after without the added paint and plastic, MINI will install the JCW engine kit on your existing MINI coupe or roadster.

The engine kit will boost the power of the coupe up to 197 hp, along with netting 199 lb-ft of torque. The kit includes a sports exhaust complete with chrome tailpipes and a laser etched JCW logo. An adapted air filter, a modified engine control unit, and JCW badges to complete the look of the car.

You can get the JCW engine tuning kit for $2100 before dealer installation fees. The suspension tuning kit, also from JCW, will be available for the just the coupe later this year.
