Hi everyone!
I've just swapped my 1st Gen Mini One for this new astro black R56 Mini One with JCW bodykit and a few other bits :D!
Hope you like it...let me know what you think!


(There's a cooper s spoiler waiting to go on aswell!)


:)

That looks stunning! The JCW bodykit makes such a difference to the look of a ONE:nice:

Any interior pics?!

Lovely looking car :cool: Those wheels suit it! :cool:

Really nice looking :cool:

That looks awesome very aggressive from the front and great colour too :)

Looks great! Congratulations.
The only thing I'd change is the indicators, get some clear ones on those headlights to clean up that orange mess, so its nice and clean. :)

I like it, that was my second choice of color!
So what mods are planned?

Really nice MINI!! Looks stunning

yes I agree, looks really special...............and the wheels set it off.

did you order it with the extras ? or were they already fitted ?

Fantanstic choice, looks great with the aero kit and wheels :D.

Thanks everyone!!
Didn't expect many replies!
Absolutely loving the car, done its first 300 miles now, feels much more free and sounds bit more raspy and deep!

Not taken any yet, waiting to put my 3-spoke sports wheel on, then I'll post some.
It's got:
Black cloth sports seats
Piano Black Interior trim
Dark Grey colour line
Chrome-Line Interior
Additional Decor Rings

Expect pics in next couple of weeks

Looks great! Congratulations.

Funny you should say that, I've put some Ultra Silvatec indicators in this afternoon, amazing the difference.
Here's a before and after:

ooo yes those :)
Well I've got a K&N Apollo induction kit waiting to go on, but I want 1000 miles under it before that goes in, had the 57i kit on my previous car and it completely changed the whole feel of the car, and hoping this'll do the same.
Then I've got a cooper s spoiler waiting to go on.
After that I'm not sure, i fancy a JCW carbon/leather gear stick.
Any more suggestions then let me know!

Yeh I'm suprised how good they look, they're the wheels off my old car, as I saw no point in buying any more, but was worried that they might look a bit small or just not right on the r56, but they bring out all the little details of the bodykit and they look fantastic! They're replica 17" r90 cross-spokes from wheel-base.
I put the bodykit, wheels and tints on.
I'll look for the pre-mod pics I've got actually, you'd never think it was the same car!

Found them!
Sorry about the quality they're off my phone.
Hope you'll agree it's quite a change!! :D

Bit of a difference from when it arrived :cool:

Those front indicator bulbs do make a huge difference! The first thing I did to mine was change those!

Is it easy to change the indicators?

Is it easy to change the indicators?

yeh very! you do it through the wheel arch, if you look in your log book under 'bulb changing' it tells you, took me about 3 minutes to do both!
(That's just the bulbs by the way, mine already has the clear indicator lenses)

Wow! What a difference! Your One looks so cool with the new wheels and JCW kit on it!

Lovely motor!!! Who fitted the kit? Did you have to wait a while for it to be painted? How long between ordering it and it being fitted? Ta!

very nice m8

The dealer got it from the factory cos they'd just had a batch of 5 in every colour, think it was the first lot to have the 'new' JCW badge on the kick sills too :)
Took them few hours to fit! They did the side scuttles too!
Was really impressed with them actually.
(Blue Bell Mini, Wilmslow if anyone's interest!)

thanks for the info!

I love the car, and the wheels look FAB.

Absolutely gutted! :frown:
Woke up to this this morning:

Amazing how much you hate snow when you've just got a new car!!

Still looks great, snow or no snow! :D
So those are the replica R90s... I was interested in them. I hear BBS R90s have lacquer that lifts off like its made of wax. Not good! Are these any better? Also, have you seen their 18" version? I thought of getting those but 17" looks great on the R56, I thought it might be a bit small but it isn't.

Same I thought that, but they look brilliant!
I'm wary of the 18s as mini don't do them so it's obvious they're replicas!
Had no problems at all with the wheels!
They've done about 13000 miles on my old car and still look like new!
So would definately recommend the 17s
