Fierce - Liberty Walk Mini Cooper R56 wide body kit

Finally it is out! Already half a year ago we have in one Preview showed that the Japanese tuner Liberty Walk Performance diligently screwed on the BMW Mini R56 and tried to get the car in about as wide as he is too long. That is exactly what has been achieved and the box looks phenomenal thanks to the famous Breitbau body kit (set, screwed and riveted)! On big vehicles like that Dodge Challenger, the Nissan GT-R or even that Audi R8 we already know the attached body kit. But we have not yet seen a Liberty Walk conversion on a compact one, that will change with immediate effect because the body kit can now be officially ordered. But now to the vehicle ... As I said, a Mini Cooper R56 was used as the base vehicle for tuning.

After the tuning treatment that the R56 has undergone, it is now much more exciting, individual and dynamic than the series version and is actually about as wide as it is long. If you are thinking of buying a BMW Mini in the future or already own one, Liberty Walk Performance is certainly an interesting place to start when it comes to differentiating your vehicle from the series model. We have already found out the first details about the changes made to the appearance and technology.
