Also I've sent off my steering wheel to LG Triming to be redone in alcantara and leather with red accents (stitching & 12 o'clock band) and I will be getting my engine cover and steering wheel trims layered with real carbon by Carbonworx too to lift the engine bay and complement the steering wheel.

Cant wait!

This information is NOT correct!

The result with just the ECU tune is 260HP (which i doubt...)
The result with a complete upgraded exhaust + ECU tune is 285HP.

I would rather believe BR-Performance in Belgium who has an ECU tune which results to 240HP.

Why do they quote 292bhp / 382nm on their Facebook page then??

@butcher11 I saw the info on Facebook after @suntech showed me it!

I don't know any more info apart from what I have posted!

Pretty impressive numbers for an otherwise stock car (zero mods except ECU tune)

As far as I'm aware this is the first tune which is direct to the ECU and not a piggyback tune using a box that plugs into the MAF and throttle body. Carried out by a French / Belgian tuner called ShiftTech.....

I guess it shows how much potential this 2.0 B48 engine has

Is the JCW exhaust even stainless steel??

It doesn't look like it??

@Chucky101 thanks

Ha - the kit only really upgrades the front, the rear from the kit is the same as the standard Cooper S!

Couple of videos from the dyno - sadly they don't do the noise justice from the Remus, it sounded epic on full chat!!!

I have seen these and think they look like a good upgrade for the rear - what are peoples thoughts on them?

I have ordered the F56 JCW brake upgrade kit which comes with the 335x30mm drilled & slotted discs and also the JCW / Brembo 4 piston front brakes along with new chilli red rear callipers which use the same discs as currently fitted to the car.

I really want to upgrade the rear discs to a larger size as its disappointing MINI haven't increased them. I think these would look cool in conjunction with the new red calipers!
