Hello from-British Racing Green-JCW
I just want to say hi to this group and show my new pride ) This is my second Mini so far and I absolutely love it. It is more suited for me then F56S that I have before.
First two pictures are from my trip around Swiss alps.
Then I add some 15mm spacers
Then I wrap that ugly chrome )

I have a question in regards to the taillights on the Clubman I'm from America I was in Germany about a month ago and saw a couple clubmans and when they hit the brakes the two rear lights on the hatch didn't light up just the light at the top and in the bumper. Now to be honest with you I can't recall if I've ever noticed that before on other clubmans or if that's just a Europe thing? Or I'm just maybe going crazy I don't know LOL

Lots of discussion about this on other threads as well.
At the core of all of this is US law regarding how lights in doors function when the door is open. Long and short of it is MINI does not put brake lights in the rear doors on F54's, so what you observed is correct.

Hello,
So far I made 15000km and I absolutely love the car.
The modification I've done so far is:
Race Chip Ultimate - they say car will have almost 300hp, I was not at the dyno with the car but my gut telling me that thing have not 300hp.
Open Intake from NM Eng. - I use the used one from my previous mini and I love it, the sound is great.
Additional high beams from MINI - the installation was nightmare but they work quite well. And I love the looks.
And I buy some set of winter tires. They are Nokian Hakka. R2. I will install them at Monday so we will see how they perform.

Yes, I think is worth it. It definitely have more torque and you feel it every single time you step on the gas. Installation is quick a price is also good. So go get it )
#15
Usually the losses of drivetrain is something between 15 to 25 percent (in worst cases) I believe.
#16
Sorry I don't have much photos from all angles but I thing here you will se what you looking for. The fit is just right. With 20mm it would be too aggressive for my liking.
#17
Where dd you get the spacers from? So 15mm? Looks good.

So I have something about 20k kilometres and since I tracked my car for several times my brake pads are gone
I was deciding between endless and ferodo and brake pads. Ferodo win because it is easier to get and less expensive. I have installed a set of DS2500 and man, they work
Some pictures from install are below. Notice the great difference in pad surface.
