The ice has been broken, my first major mod has been carried out

After Snowie had his R56 JCW Sport Brakes fitted to his left hand drive GP, his virtually new JCW brakes were fitted to my Checkmate

To accompany, I've also had braided hoses fitted all round, slotted rear discs and uprated pads too

All work was completed by Tony Franks and his assistant at the MINI Motorsport Centre - and a very good job they did too

Not many pics I'm afraid as I was fighting the light.....

Folks, the slippery slope of modding has begun

Jon as we said down at Tony's

You have to learn how to park up so that the JCW logo shows fully through the bigest holes in the wheels

.

Sorry I did not clean them before they came off the car but Tony has done a good job as usual
