R61 to F56

Hi!
I am about to switch from my modded Paceman S with JCW pack to an F56
Details on my Paceman:
19x9 19x9.5 Rotiform forged LSR's
225/40/19 Pirelli runflats
BC Racing coil overs
VIP 23 mm rear sway bar
MANIC stage 2 tune with downpipe and FMIC
Absolutely fantastic car, but i moved to Canada and i will be selling it to Carmax shortly.

I will be purchasing a 2015 Cooper S with JCW body kit and interior.
I plan on do similar mods to the F56

So far, i've decided on:
RPM tune via Mariokart
BC coil over suspension
Cravenspeed phone mount

Looking for recommendations on:
downpipe
FMIC
rear sway bar
exhaust
driving light kit
short shift kit
shift ****

I hope to contribute to this board as much as i can..

downpipe - miltek catless
FMIC - Forge
rear sway bar - NM 22 or 25mm
exhaust - Remus or JCW kit
driving light kit - no clue
short shift kit - cravenspeed shirt shifter
shift **** - all depends on your taste. There are hundreds

I have have all of these on my F56 so check out my site for pictures, opinions and sound clips

Good list from Vinnie. Adding-

Rear sway- VIP. Slightly stiffer than NM, and a little cheaper too.
Shift ****- Cravenspeed

Also cravenspeed- iPhone holder!

Enjoy

I saw my first Paceman the other day where I live in Prescott, AZ. Pretty cool looking car. How many years did they make them? I think they made my Coupe 2012-2015, 4 years. Paceman less? Was it also a 2 seater?

Paceman was a 4 seater. A 2-door Countryman.

Welcome to canada. Where are you moving to? All the parts come across the border, so duty and freight gets expensive. Make sure you join your local club

Thanks for all the recommendations!
I have moved to Montreal, and you're right duties and shipping adds significantly to the prices..
