You were half right, and honestly from the photo there wasn't much to go off of but the grass and tree so good on you.

and I have to agree...13WSCRJCW that is pretty damn sweet.

Haha thanks 😅 I will admit. There are some details up close. But my car has a couple of daily driving dings already, so they blend in 😜 I also tried to dip as much of those dings as possible haha. Just ordered some stainless steel break lines from you guys. For my JCW Calipers and a friend's GP2. Can't wait!

Awesome. Thanks for the order. We are one of the few if the only ones who have GP2 upgrades lines.

Post up some pics of the lines when installed.

Here's my Silver Bullet



Once I got the Mini. First thing I did was added M7 strut bars, M7tuned Oil catcher and M7 tuned heat shield. I will later replace Intake to M7 tuned. I might add blue piping to replace all the blacks. I am not sure yet- I may just leave it black M7tuned. (No hurry here).



Here's the silver bullet. I already got dash cover to protect from heat and a window blinders when It is parked outside. I also added cravenspeed oil dipstick. I have ordered flexpod that I will add later to monitor my engine plus iPhone and garmin mapping. I am soon about to upgrade the suspension coil over. Right now I am researching on which is the best Coil overs for a good price. I have my eyes set on the Forge Motorsports Coil over. I am not sure just yet thou...

Correction.. I decided to go with Blistein coil over set up to over all usage of em. Forge Motorsports is pretty new compared to Blistein coils.

ECS, I have also been looking into changing the brake lines on my 13 JCW. Do you have the part numbers for the GP2 brake lines ? Will they fit my 13 JCW ?

JDUBYA2003 & KINGKOOPAH ... Thanks !! Appreciate the likes for my JCW.

These are for the Cooper / Cooper S / JCW brakes ( 4 piston ) on the Gen 2 R55-R59 MINI:

https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/ES2593424/






These are for the Factory GP2 MINIs and people with the GP2 ( 6 piston ) front brakes or GP2 ECS JCW BBK ( 6 piston ) .

Thanks

I really like the look of this car, and I don't usually like stripes!! Are you going to add black light rings or the blacked out xenons? That would look killer

I much prefer your center stripes to my offset bonnet stripes.

Good lookin car for sure, JCW I assume? Or just the body package?
