Mini Cooper JCW R56

Hi everyone,

New owner of a 2013 Mini Cooper JCW here. Pepper white with the chili red roof and mirrors.

Definitely planning on taking this onto the track and autocross so the mods have already begun. Feel free to offer suggestions I've missed perhaps.

Ordered:
H&R 22 mm rear sway bar
Wagner Competition Intercooler
Colder spark plugs
Alta valve spring
Manic Tune
Red brake ducts
Air filter
Tint
Black-out all chrome pieces
Stainless steel brake lines
Wrap hood scoop in black or chili red (what do you all think?)
Hot-side turbo tube (Needed or not with tune?)

Planned:
JCW Piston Rebuild kit (Heard these things melt on the track...)
Downpipes (Maybe...)

Awesome MINI, thanks for keeping the trend of blacking out chrome still alive

Welcome to NAM! Hello from SoCal as well! Not cheap, but there is a JCW Carbon Fiber hood scoop option HERE. Or, have you thought about maybe wrapping the scoop in carbon textured vinyl? When you do that, if it doesn't have it already, may be a good idea to install the hood scoop heat shield HERE as they tend to warp. There are the M7 Speed Vortex Scoop options above the heat shield as an option for the scoop as well. If you have any questions or need anything just let me know.

Nice list, very nice options. The interior seat are very nice.

Gp2 Brake ducts: For install can be a little hard to do.
