- Welcome to The Friday Feature powered by H&H Classics...
www.handh.co.uk
It has taken 12 months for me to get this Mini on the channel after I saw it at a show last year. The stand out feature are the Lamborghini inspired doors but the car is full of so many beautiful details, from the seats to the carbon fibre detailing on the dash.
Under the bonnet is a fully forged engine running a Stage 3 tune producing 310 horsepower and just shy of 400 Nm of torque.

Vince is my neighbour and I can tell you that he cleans that car 5 to 6 hours a weekend, it is an amazingly beautiful car and Vince is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.
Out of interest do you live around Epsom? Remember seeing this all the time around there when I worked in Epsom.
Is he a Hong Konger or Chinese BN?
I used the Mini configurator for the first time today to visualise a cream coloured Cooper with black bonnet stripes. Competitively priced at £18.5K for a car that matches a 205 GTi 1.9 in performance and it would also fit into my small garage! I now get why they are so popular.
Beautifully executed mods but oh me, couldn’t live with that exhaust !
Yup it'll be a laugh for about 5 mins and then annoying as hell.
Holy shit ….my eyes nearly fell out of my head when I seen that interior…..that’s unreal ! ….superb doesn’t quite cover it !
I agree.....Wow Wee!
It sure is lovely 👍
See I was good and changed my comment from holy **** to holy monkeys, but I was thinking what you said!
I think all that popping and banging would drive me mad after a while,what you think ?
I would go even further than that and make the bloody things illegal.
It put me off just watching the video 8-((...
Rest of the car's lovely but that exhaust 💨💥💥💥💥💥
My roadster does the same and yes they do wear you down after a while 😂
I've been watching a few Mini Cooper vids recently solely for the sheer happiness you get from the exhaust notes but, my oh my. This car has definitely done that and much more. I'm sitting here with a wide grin plastered across my face with absolute respect for the owner's choice of setup and the way it has been presented by Peter and Vince. Vince, if you're reading this, your car is an absolute beauty and thank you for the smiles! Peter, thank you for showing these cars to us with your channel!
Sincerely,
A big guy with an even bigger grin.
That pops and bangs would do my head in, I like a loud exhaust put thats to much
The cost of all that work must have been astronomical but wow isn't it worth it, like you said Pete the attention to detail is second to none and a truly special one off car. What a great guy Vince is too so humble and never stops smiling.
He’s a lovely bloke 👍

I definitely was not going to miss this for anything 😍
Evening Gena!
@@francoisg3500 Hi there François! I hope life is treating you well! 👋🏻
@@GenaF Yeah, I'm good thanks. Yourself?
Hi gena definitely a amazing mini
Thought you’d like it 👍
Love it the attention to detail is fantastic especially that red carbon.
Been looking at the door set up for my baby lol...love the video best mini yet..
Great vid, thanks Pete. Your reactions to the machine gun made me chuckle, cheered me up after a rubbish week at work!
Great to hear. Hopefully you’ll have a nice weekend to make up for it 👍
What a car absolutely brilliant made me smile all the way through and obviously the pops and bangs pleased you certainly a credit to its owner 😁😁👍
I like the popping and banging from the exhaust and the doors and the cars finished ,it look lot of money but it looks so good
What a stunning car, beautifully executed, and seemingly a really nice person to boot! Brilliant vid Ped & Vince - thanks 🤩
Epic inside and out! 🙌🏼 what an awesome MINI. Thanks for the video Ped!
My pleasure 👍
Loved "The Stig" notification lamp in the instrument panel!
Well spotted 👍
Such an insane build, I just took delivery of a JCW GP (that I plan to keep completely stock) but seeing the amount of work this person put in is crazy. I think my car tuning days are over, I had a 426whp Type R that was good for a while... but then it all went up in flames (literally) lol.
Best thing I have watched in a long time! My boy loved the pops and bangs
Ahhh Wong's Mini is my favourite Mini 😍 it's the winner of the show stopper baby😎
OMG that is stunning. I wish I could have those doors on my R52 😉👍
Beautiful detail everywhere, especially the interior and bonnet carbon treatment. Love the doors and the Recaro seats, However I wouldn’t want to clean those wheels too often. BUT those pops and bangs from the exhaust!! “Anti Social” comes to mind. It would drive me and probably my Nieghbour’s mad.
Got new ones agreed I have enough othe BBS 18INC NOW GOT 19 H R E and kess cleaning 😄😄🌝👊
Vincent is a true petrol head and a humble guy, his other cars are wow too! 👏 great content Ped
Absolutely stunning! Thanks for bringing this beast to the channel, Peter and Vince!! I'm afraid my neighborhood homeowner's association would legally ban me from driving into the neighborhood.
LOL 😂
You could be like my neighbor who drives a McLaren, he frequently peels out once dark and really goes. I guess he thinks if you can't see it no one will know who it is. Doesn't seem to realize we all know the sound of his car and the taillights are wonderfully distinctive. Of course none of us want to ban him, we would however not mind being lent the car for a drive.
@@KCnLex LOL, now there is a thought! Get all involved and nobody can rightfully complain.
That has to be the most antisocial mini I have ever heard/seen. I love it!
Oh yes 🙌
I’m a huge fan of pops and bangs so that mini has gone straight into my good books
I woke the house with my own laughing while watching the video. The car is cool and Vincent is über chill. Superb indeed.
“Mate this is naughty” 😂😂. Wow your smile Pete. Our neighbours would go nuts with that exhaust when I come home after a night shift 😂😂. It would be fun though. We agree it has to be the best modded MINI around 👍
I always see it at your shows!
Love it! Great Job Vince!! 👍
Well done Vince: beautiful MINI with tasteful & classy mods. Great video Peter 🙂
Dont think there are any words to describe this mini. Its just automotive awesomeness !! Especially loving the ak47 exhaust note 🤣👍👍
Just came across this on my recommended, subscribed as you mentioned you had an R59 roadster and so do I !
hi mate its the owner here nice to hear but i do not have a roadster only a R56 its pete @petrol_ped have a roadster not us ask him have a good weekend😊😊
Great. That for the sub. I have a whole playlist about modifying my R59 👍
Holy......monkees, I would want to drive it with the bonnet top OFF! Every time I drove it I would have the microfiber out to get any particle of dust off the moment I got home. I would spend equal time looking at it as driving it. And letting a stranger borrow it? Yeah, right, I wouldn't let my best friend drive it (maybe if Jay Leno was my best friend I might). It might be noisy, impractical and expensive....but I still like it.
You didn’t tell me that mate 🙏🏻
Wow 🤩 a mini to dream of! So pretty from every angle. Hi everyone and Sir Pete hope all are safe and healthy this warm beautiful day!! That exhaust sounds like gunshots wow!
😂😂😂
Evening all! How's everyone doing? I'm a bit late as I was watching another video and didn't look at the time.
Tut tut, bad boy. All good here apart from the rain and wind. Hope you're ok.
Hi Francois All good in Cork 👍just a bit wet 😜
@@johns14a Ha ha! I'm good thanks. Same weather here in London, very grey and cold for this time of year.
Hi Francois hope your well! It’s 90 plus degrees here and sunny
@@coltoncleveringa8004 32 C! Nice and warm for you then. Shame we don’t currently have the same weather over here in the U.K.! 😒
Love it...but I would be arrested in Switzerland for scaring the cows! Those doors...those doors...simply exquisite. The engine...wow. The carbon/interior...wow.
A show car that goes aswell as it looks👌👍. I like all the details & work that's gone into making the Mini, unique & look as good as it does. I don't mind the occasional pop's & cracks from an exhaust & I can see that having popcorn & AK's firing out the back can be fun sometimes/party-piece, but for me I'd be tempted to have a popcorn tune available at the flick of a switch (missile style flip switch - ON/OFF ).
@R56Minilambo F & V It's a special car👍👌, an inspiration for motoring enthusiasts. I watched the video again👌. Are the dial faces custom? I thought I saw a Stig helmet icon?
Awesome love what he did with that car that mini big ups
👍
Hi Pete
Hi Bud 🙋♂️
where can i get one like this? sometimes i need to annoy my neighbours and this would do the trick every time....bit of a contrast to my iPace?
Does a dyno sheet exist? I doubt that the thing produces 310 bhp with the shitty forge Ic and a stock cooper s airbox.
@R56Minilambo F & V it wasnt meant to be a hurtful comment, but with the forge ic not only me but many other saw intake temps above 50 degree C above ambient with a stock turbo. My forge ic was a bottleneck with my bigger turbo even limiting flow for more then 270 hp. Then the stock airbox - even with a filter it provides enough restriction to reduce the turbo efficiency. As someone who changed every bold on this engine and even calibrates the ecu myself i defo know the stuff. Iam tired seeing people throwing numbers everywhere without backing the number with evidence. 100-200 times with weight, dyno sheets with power loss and wheel hp - with temps and correction factors. Fueling used and boost pressures. Without all that pushing random hp numbers is bs and just a flex. On another video (again from GB) they claimed 300 hp with the stock jcw turbo. So please do the mini community a favor and contribute evidence, so comments like mine wont show up anymore.
What an amazing Mini. Those doors..........!!
Oh yeah 👌
Two on the drive and on MINI number seven here. I’ve always loved the wee mods, personal changes to make MINI’s more personal be it simply white indicator bulbs or more. The owner has went all in as they say and fair play. I enjoying seeing people mods, some may not be to my taste but I always appreciate the effort and engineering. Bet that absolutely chews through tyres 😁. And I though people doing the joey mod to the lights were brave😁.
Hi Ped
Some might consider it to be over the top, but all credit to Vince I think it is brilliant. However would pass on the exhaust mods for road use. The build quality and attention to detail is superb. We need people like Vince, I vanity see the same enthusiasm when all that it available are EV’s😥
What a car and what a chilled out full of smiles owner! Asbo mode engaged. As you said, the on throttle noise is wicked.
Oh yes 👍
Love this channel !!
Thanks 👍
Great Friday video. Will have to get to a Mini show to see this beauty in person. Loved the throttle noise but couldn’t cope with pops & bangs 😂. Have a feeling this one might cost you some money judging by your reaction!
What an extreme pleasure to view and listen to. It just makes you want to go out and spend a whole lotta money on your Mini!
I unfortunately would find it necessary to install an assassin’s silencer on the AK47 … my neighbors would have me strung up, in public view, otherwise. But the on petal sound was that one dreams of. Wonderful video, Mini and owner. Cheers!
Pops and bangs not for me personally, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but ah oh each to their own 😊😊
Evening all, looking forward to this one Pete..
👍
Peter you big kid!!! That is one hell of a cracking car, quite literally!! What a great example of some beautiful engineering. love it. Want one.
Indeed 👍
Loved this one. Party piece pops and bangs are just wow....to live with though? Nah, but as a show piece this is an incredible mini. The owner seems like such a polite, smiley, well spoken man too I didn’t expect this to be fair. No wonder he’s constantly smiling though with those pops/bangs.
👍
Fantastic Mini I bet the people in that little village reported to the police the sound of gun shots 🤣 great review those doors are a work of art I think Mini should have done that as a factory extra 👍🧽🏁
I can appreciate the work and attention to detail that's gone into it (and the money! He must be minted!) but it's just too much, I'm not 18. And that exhaust? I'd had enough after 5 mins of video let alone living with it!
I literally have no words apart from one! Superb!!!
Thanks 🙏🏻
I luv this car I thought my jcw r56 was getting there the carbonfibre round the motor the seats Jesus brilliant attention to detail good on you mate really nice
Your so lucky to have lohen an such a lively mini scene in England here in Australia really struggle to find decent tuners etc but get very motivated looking at your car mate really cool keep going lol
Love it! Great job
Great vid. 👍 Loved everything about that car except the wheels and O8 livery. Deep red on grey looked fab
Spectacular!
Indeed 👍
Talking of torquesteer back in the olden days I chipped and boosted a T5, it was epic.
Wicked 👍
This is such a stunning little rocket!!! Just awesome
Oooh now you've got competition, your vide launched next the the new one from The Car Girl VBH on my subscribed list 🤔😄
I noticed that 👍
Awesome Mini !
Yep 👍
I wonder if he has ever considered adding some carbon fiber trim. A tasteful addition here and there would set if off a treat. Oh wait...........
LOL 😂
Super video and beautiful car, I love the doors like Lamborghini !!!
One awesome mini, you won't go unnoticed in that!! 🧨🧨🧨👍😁
If that's the best I'd hate to see the worst - what on earth is that banging sound?..
Incredible, did I miss a set of rally flaps on it?
They are now on order 😜😂
Rally flaps on this car would be like James Bond chewing tobacco and spitting. Wonder if P. will ever not be teased about flaps on Clubman?
@@KCnLex Haha Nope! 😄
Amazing🔥
Looks great and I appreciate what he's done but, yes there's a but, the pops and bangs are way over the top as they attract too much attention, I could see PP sinking into his seat almost with embarrassment as the rear mounted AK-47 let loose on over run.
😂😂😂
Great looking Mini and what an attention to detail. However, having a dog that has developed a fear of cars, after we one day where we were passed by 40ish cars with popping exhaust, I will NEVER make my exhaust pop if I’m passing a dog on the street or in an area where I’d expect dogs.
An amazing video with sick car.
Cool intro !
What a beautiful mini done with passion 👌👌
I’d love to know the total spent on getting it to this standard..👍
Hi Petrol Ped great Mini R56 great looking car, in my opinion without the bangs its a great looking car & if u look at it from behind it does not look like,
a Mini finished very nice inside too
I know this car well. It is so well detailed and cared for. Visually and aurally enticing.!
Oh yes 👍
Hi Pete
Wow what a toy….. I’d love that mini mate the pops & bangs is just Ace love it
Great video mate 👍👍👍👍
Awesome mini that ,looks like it certainly moves,hey stay safe,have a great weekend,
Proper job. Pulls well doesn't it. I think the over-run would get on my nerves after a while. Don't suppose he dropped an investment figure did he. Cheeky I know but I expect the conversation with the insurance company was interesting. Is the vehicle modified at all? Easier if I send you the details. LOL. Another excellent vid Pete.
Dont think that exhaust would be very popular and it would drive me nuts. Not to sure about the rear wing thing. looks a bit 'after-thought' but everything else is ace.
Respect the build, mechanically it seems pretty built/ styling is an acquired taste. I am getting red flags on what i think are Rep wheels (i thought the only BBS wheel that will fit an R56 gen mini is the BBS LM, unless you get a 15" or 16" BBS RS which these are not) and Budget Yokohama tyres; hopefully, that is winter set or something.
Great video especially when you go through my village I wondered what that noise was
😂😂😂
A few nice bits of tartan in the interior would really do the car justice! 😉 I might consider saving some of those shots out the back, for the hard working hill climbs. 😎
@R56Minilambo F & V I was really more thinking items that are currently carpeted. A color matched tartan, heavy on the black would be amazing in back, in place of the carpeting.
Hi Ped. If you fancy doing a "Best modified R53 Mini in the UK" video drop me a line some time. I may have something that will peek your interest.
I love an R53 👌
@@PetrolPed So would you like me to send you some info and pics? What's your preferred method if you do?
Beautiful car
Oh man, that’s a lovely Mini. Would love an upgrade to a R56 from the R53!
I wonder where they got the CF interior parts
@R56Minilambo F & V sweet! Appreciate the reply man
What a stunning showpiece of a car.
Looks like there's been a very pretty penny spent on it!!!
There goes the electric idea Shopping for Tango now Awesome 👍😍
👏👏👏
how happy the dude looks having someone elsee drive his car
What a beautiful car. Not so sure about the exhaust mind you. Great on a Sunday drive !
Mega Sunday car 👍
Shame about the exhaust, why the noise ????? Regards, RichardA.
Not my sort of thing but what a fabulous car.
Mini content!! Now this is why I subscribed ;)
👊
Just beautiful 😊
Wow cracking machine, top job Vince lovely interior 👌
Thanks Mark 👍
Extraño mi r56

Yes. Well spotted. Recently invested in a new camera, mic and mount for in car. Really pleased with the results already 👍
LSD doors are so good! Getting in and out is so easy. And yes they are cool!
