Hey Popey, the glittery mini one!
Has the remap made a lot of difference to first/second gear acceleration?

One of the coolest looking R56's I've seen yet, really good job!

Regarding the remap, have you considered how it would have affected your warranty? I'm very interested in the P Torque remap for our R56 S, but we have 18 months still left on our warranty.

268bhp must be serious fun!

Dealers make a lot of money from warranty work.

I think its important to have a good relationship with your dealer, we will be getting an R57 soon so that will be our 4th or 5th MINI from Woodman's.

I'm guessing you're keeping the JCW tho...?! I'm loving the plasti dip and powder coated wheels - looks really good on the PW... considered it with the previous R50 MCS but never got round to it.

That power must be quite embarrasing for some Beamer nuts and I guess some hairdressers in Boxster's too...
