The look of the whole 'Heritage' option is not correct. The painted on 'Brass', the schizophrenic use of mixed chrome trim, the tape stripes, the phony 'JAP' logo....MMC: Why, Why, Why?
A far more authentic "Heritage" version would have deleted the mirror finish chrome and replaced it with brushed aluminium to give it a more proper nickel appearance, a wood rimmed wheel, and 2 or 3 eared spinners. Otherwise, the 'Brass' version just offends every fibre of my being that respects both tradition and good taste.
As an aside, anyone else wonder why the "Bonnet" doesn't extend out to the covered frame rails? It's an awkward junction btwn round and flat.
That's one of the great things about the M3W - no 2 are the same and everyone gets to personalise it to their taste. It would be a terribly boring world if we all liked the same thing

Everyone has there own idea on what is right or looks good. If I was a up for a 3 wheeler I'd be happy to have JAP covers.
Nothing is what it seems these days - some ford engines are Mazda based - cars share platforms like the fiat 500 and ford KA. In the car world badge engineering has been going on for years. Put a boot on a classic mini and suddenly its a Riley. Honda cars had Rover badges (200) on them..... I'm sure the list could be endless if you had the time to give it any thought (or be bothered)

Did not notice it while I was at the show but I have to say I don't like the use of the JAP logo. It is not a JAP engine and, to me, pretending it is is not correct.
Just my opinion.
