Don't forget your brakes too, the more power you have you'll probably have to start thinking of a brake upgrade.

This modding lark can work out expensive

Check out the classified ads on all the MINI forums, lots of bargains to be had when people put their cars back to stock for selling/part exing

The JCW brakes are ok, with a good set of pads even better .

I got a very good deal () on a brand new Brembo BBK full set (front & rear) from an R56 JCW, it would have been rude not to get them . Great set of stoppers, worked brilliant on track & superb on the road too, + they look good

Wheels are 17"

From my very bad memory I think it was £550 for the brakes, I didn't ask where they came from
