tuningblog.eu Your magazine about tuning the car
Anyone who values maximum individualism in their vehicle is sure to make the right choice with a MINI. But at the latest when the driver repeatedly encounters amazingly similar Minis in the urban jungle, the need for more personalization can get out of hand. This is exactly what the owner of this specimen recognized and uses a Mini JCW (previous generation R56) to show what can be done. Because the Briton, who retired almost a decade ago, was given a fresh robe. The photos clearly show how much effort and attention to detail went into transforming the John Cooper Works into a compact, yellow rocket.
on barracuda Shoxx
On built up to the end of 2013 R56 there were some technical upgrades that caused a sensation. These include a powerful Intercooler, a Sport downpipe and a Software Optimization, which takes the 1,6-liter turbo from the standard 211 to 240 hp. The body of the Mini, which is just around 3,70 meters long, was also finished in Matt Yellow Flash foiled, while a honeycomb pattern creates a stylish 3D effect.
The highlight of the conversion is the 18-inch Barracuda in the wheel arches Shoxx rims, which provide a maximum contrast to the paintwork of the body with a play of colors of red and black. Hankook Ventus V12 evo 2 in the dimension 215/35R18 are responsible for the ground contact, which also contribute to the beefy look.
including ST XTA coilover suspension
To keep the promise of the sporty design, the tuner has also attached an ST XTAcoilover thought, which also lowers the power dwarf enormously. The interior is characterized by a flat-bottomed steering wheel, various carbon applications and comfortable sports seats from Recaro and convinces with its sporty appearance. If you are struggling with the temptation to give your Mini a similar makeover, then a visit to JP Performance might be an idea.
The first changes (Rims, tires and coilovers) were implemented there and since then, among other things, the proud owner himself (Instagram: hdpowerman) the Mini in Self-directed further modified.
