This is a garage walk around of my wide arch R53. You'll be sure to see more videos of this MINI in future. As always don't forget to like, share and subscribe to my channel!
Awesome r53! Makes me miss mine, I had the same color, and almost all the same engine mods. If you got some extra money for it, you can get these really decent quality aluminum coolant tanks for less than $100 that look really nice in the engine bay!
That's one sexy Mini! You got great taste with the modifications you have on there. I got myself a Mini addiction right now, got a JCW GP3 but I still need more Mini's in my life. While the GP3 is fast and fun I feel like it's more a rebadged BMW M hatchback than a real Mini experience. I cannot really wind the GP3 out without doing over 100mph. Someday I'm gonna pick up a supercharged R53... debating either customizing one or going for a GP1... lucky for me in the states people are obsessed with huge massive SUV's and crossovers so more Mini's are available for me :D Great value and probably the best fun / price ratio of any car. I don't do Motorcyles so Mini is the closest I can get to that.
Thank you and thank you for watching! GP3s are great looking MINIs and super fun but you’re right regarding they are like a hot hatch BMW. I’ve heard a few people say that about the states which is lucky, either would be a great choice!
Ignore the haters. Cracking car. I have an 04 plate r53 in brg also and am just starting to mod. Keep up the good work lass. Very envious of a lot of your mods and may have to steal some of your ideas lol
Recently got some 17x9 wheels so they stick out 2 inches.. seems like those lovely wheel arches you got would help keep a flushed look, would you recommend them? And Id love to know where you got the sideskirts and bumpers, would love to change how the black trim around the car looks
They were on the Mini when I bought it but I think they look really good. My partner had a van go into him and the arch wasn’t much to fix at all so always good to know they are repairable. They are just the areo kit for bumpers and not sure on the side skirts as they were on the car, only difference is now I took the bottom black skirting protection off. Colour coded does look so good though!
The skirts and bumpers look amazing ive been looking forward to put something like this on my own mini so iw as wonders what rhey are called and when u can get this or is it a custom job
It wasn’t taxed or MOT’d at the time and the garage I was keeping it in while moving house was my grandads so down a single track road so that was my only option ☺️ I’ll be sure to do another video on the car soon though as this one’s been so popular!
Hey there! Currently rocking a British racing green r53, how did you get the AG Fiberglass Wide Arch Kit to be British Racing Green? I’m definitely going to get this for my modded mini!
Hey, fab colour but then I am biased! They were fitted before I had the car but I did have to have one repaired and it were just primed and painted so presume it was the same for the others ☺️
Found my exact paint code! Atleast for my 2004 S model it was under the hood close to the passenger side suspension. Just got coil overs and I got rims with +23 offset so I might look into these! Not to aggressive but still look great IMO. I also have a milltek non res exhaust hahahaha.
@@cspreach1963 hey, again they were on before I got it (I did more the rollcage, harnesses, wheels, interior changes, under bonnet changes, brakes when I got the car) but anywhere like Facebook marketplace keep an eye out for aero bumpers and then you could just get it resprayed
Beautiful! It all ties together so well. Can't beat BRG, have a classic mini in the same. Looking forward to seeing a video of it in action!
Thank you! 😀
british racing green too, what a masterpiece
Thank you
You and your Mini are beautiful

Thank you so much ☺️ brg is a fab colour! Hahha more than welcome too! Thank you 😊
Beautiful girl 😍😍
Steering wheel cover in storage….now that’s the next level haha
My grandad lives in Birmingham so can never be sure ☺️
nice.....
Would have liked to see the seats better than just the sparco logo
I'll be sure to do a more detailed video in future when it's back on the road so will make sure to show the seats in more detail!
Hey beautiful car. Quick question, what is the wheel setup? If you could provide a link to them, I'd love that. Thanks!
Thank you! They are 17” team dynamics pro race 3’s ET38 4 x 100. Tyres are just Michelin pilot sport 4 205/40 😊

Nice video Moly but why in the garage? Why didnt you take it out and take a nice shot??🤔

@@MollydoesTH-cam It could be just in front of the garage, you didn't have to drive it..I wish i could see it whole. Waiting your new video!

Do you know where I can get the side skirts and front / rear bumper from? Beautiful set up I’m probably going to copy the exterior :P

id like to see links to the mods, especially for handling
I’m trying to find a list for you!
Gorgeous girl with a hot car… must have type of gal.
Hey Molly, Where did you get the arch's from?
Hi Roy, they were on the MINI when I purchased it but they are from AG Fiberglass! 😀
Love this car minus the heavy cage, is this a full on track car? It should have slicks forged pistons and an added turbocharger then.
Haha thanks :) no not a full on track car, it's a work in progress, still currently off the road
The factory engine has forged pistons and a huge majority of the race cars out there w/o turbos or even slicks (depending on the class.)
what year is this one?
Late 2003 so 53 so pre face lift
Ok... It's a bone stock mini..
Not really but thanks for the feedback ☺️
