After the MTTS 2018 Rally last month I decided it was time for my next Mini Cooper project “taking out the rear seats” in Mini terms also known as:
“The F56 JCW Rear Delete Kit”.
It was defenitely time for more space in my car 🚗
And since this Kit is not officially on the market until this fall, with no tools nor skills I desperately needed help. So I called my friend Alan and asked him if he was up for the task. Mind you, Alan has been building and working on race cars since he was 12 years young. So who better to ask. I was so excited when he said “YES”!
Of course we picked one of the HOTTEST days in Arizona for this production: 115 F 🌞🔥, but we didn’t care, we just wanted to get it done. Thankfully we worked in the shade in his garage with a fan on full blast! The project was complete sooner than I expected.
Alan even personalized the Kit and autographed it for me.
I added some glue and automobile carpeting & voila’!

 

 

Very nice brother. I contacted Aaron from Outmotoring who referred me to ShraderPerformance and they were telling me that these kits aren't out until this fall. Anyway it was a blast building one from scratch.
Any idea where I can get a rear upper (interior) stress bar for my F56 JCW ?

Man, I am racking my brain, there was an Italian company that sold those rear strut bars. I remember they were super expensive though. I thought I had the site saved but apparently not

 

Thank you so much for the info and looking into it. Any suggestions on roof racks ? My 2018 F56 has a normal roof with no flush rails.
Cheers

 

 

There you go, there was an Italian company too but it was close to $800
