Some great upgrades there - looks just right and not overdone IMHO. Love the colour combo - is the roof wrapped or painted? Also nice to see a BRG without the lacquer peel that they can suffer from👌
@@AnneMoore-z9y Thank You 🙏 - Roof is painted - Mazda Soul Red Crystal. There was an issue with the lacquer on the bonnet, not peeled, but it was going quite dull. So that is going to be sorted shortly.
I noticed a an additional cup holder on the instrument panel, using the side bolts. Is that a product that can be purchased or custom made? I am looking for a similar solution as a phone holder. Thanks!
@@CosmaLucian that’s OEM Mini but was produced for the US market. They’re getting quite rare to pick up now - A few people have made 3D Printed replacements. If you search Roadie Makes on Google (roadiemakes.com) they do a few phone holder designs for the R50 platform that are really good.
@@teknomanning Yeah I’ve worked on them before. I prefer the W10 / W11 Engines as the newer ones are a bit prone to carbon build up and timing chain issues.
@@NathanChaplin-hw6gh I was thinking about it, but from standard I think it only came with Anthacite, Silver and that Aluminium Patina Dashboards. And if I decided to sell it in the future, then it’s effectively been interfered with. I also contemplated installing the button down in the cupholder - Like the classic mini - But again not sure it would have gone with the look & feel of what I’m aiming for with the car.
Beautiful car. The Final Boss of R53 mini game. You cannot get better

You ever fix Countryman’s?

Would’ve installed the button then it would be really rare no?

Lovely car. I think once BMW progressed beyond the Mk II Mini, the cars lost that retro Mini charm.
They’re definitely on the larger side nowadays 😂
