Thank you to all of the people who were able to stop by to hangout while we watched the video! Let me know if you guys want to do this for some future videos ❤️
I feel it would look terrific if it was on a dark coloured mini. I have chrome in a bunch of places; handles, gas cap, headlight rings, taillight rings, belt line, side scuttle and badges. If my car was Red, or dark blue, or something other than a light colour, I'd be with you on that 100%.
Two years ago when I came across your channel I was so keen on modifying my 09 jcw. I happen to have a laser blue with the hypersport kit too. But the more pple change out their kits, the more unique it becomes, the more the value increases.🔥. Nice car man
I have another hyper sport kit too that I am looking to part ways with, but haven't had too many bites on it. It still seems the Aerosport kit is more desirable
Another cracking video, great info as usual. And the car looks superb, admire your dedication to making it as clean as can possibly be. I have done a similar job to the front of my JCW with the subframe just need to move to the back now. Unfortunately over here in the Scottish highlands we have the same issue with salty winter roads. I think your car would look superb with a red roof to match the mirrors and vents.
Nice! Looks like you found one of the newer front lips. Looks good. Oh and the GP diffuser looks so sick. Wish they had something similar for my clubman lol.
Regarding your wheel setup...., are you using spacers? Did you need to trim or modify the fender liners? I assume you needed to do a small amount for the lip you cut off that the liner sat on, but any additional to squeeze all that rubber under the fenders? Great job!
Unless you have more adjusting to do nothing looks like it's lined up. At 9:49 the front splitter clearly doesn't line up with the fender and the back of the fender doesn't line up with the panel right next to it (right under that black duct). Plus you have a tremendous gap all around the front where the splitter meets the hood (the area under the headlights)
That is because of the fenders. They're aftermarket and the fitment isn't perfect. Trust me, it annoys me as well and I genuinely contemplated running the narrow body setup because it doesn't have any alignment issues. We'll see..
Completely stock I can fit a 235/40/17 tire on a 8 inch wide wheel with a 42 offset I believe. Only running was slightly on the rear when I had heavy passengers. But you could easily trim the tiny amount on the inner flare.
Hi, congrats about your video and mini also, you made a really great job!! I really like the mini Keep it Aesthetic wide flares you put in on in your mini, what's size did you get and when can I get them?? thx
hey bro do you have a catch can on your car ? and can you tell me if it is better to put a catch can on the rear pcv hose or to the front pcv hose that goes to the turbo?? thanks in advance for the help
Damn dude the mini looks handsome af. Been watching your vids for years and can't believe the mini is finally almost complete lol keep it up bud. Are you going to have a meetup for us guys in Ontario some day after the pandemic? Would be a sick time to show off the mini
Congratulations 🎉👏 after 3 years of hard work. I been here since day one I really like this Mini Monster project it looks so great 😍 🙌👌 I hope you make some videos in the 1/4 Mile gaping some V8's 🤟🤟!!!!
I know this is an old video so I maynot get a response, but at the very beginning of the video you show off those wide fender flares and that is exactly what Im looking for, if anyone could please tell me where to get them I would greatly appreciate it, im tired of digging through all this universal crap, I just want some wider fender flares that can mount up like oem
i have a pepper white r56 in stock form and have followed your videos for about a year now. nice work, but i have to say those flares take away from your car. your channel has been very helpful.
Do you have the front bumper you removed still and if so could I buy it? I would cover shipping... Hit a coyote and got backed into and hard tracking down another hypersport aero front bumper.
Just asking. Got the DDMWORKS air ram and box. Did you or have you had you plastic push pins pull out or brack on the hood. I had to get and put small screws with washers. #6 but think #8 would be better.
Hey Tara, I don't recall that being a problem with mine. I know the install for the duct that bolts to the hood was a pain to install, but I don't remember seeing any back out
Love the channel! You have been an invaluable resource for my own mini woes and upgrades. Had an '08 MCS R56 N14 till I wrecked it. Now I have an '09 JCW R56 N14, and I love it even more. Recently had to do some work on it and decided to put in a large intercooler, but it seems to be kicking out the bottom of the bumper facie making the panel gap pucker where the hood meets the top of the bumper as it meets the grill. It has the JCW aero kit but pre-2011 variant. did you have this problem at all and was it solvable? Also, since my pre-2011 aero kit does not have the brake ducts, do you think I could just DIY mod it and get the ducts but just cut out the needed space in my lower grill?
I'm happy to hear that! Congrats on the new car 🙌 I do have this problem, however it hasn't bothered me enough to change it out since it is helping my intakes temps stay low. I don't see why you can't do that 👍
is it after faster on your speed limited roads or did you only for shine 😂😂😂😂 you can take front lower rubber lip of Opel/Vauxhaul Vectra B fits like on every car and works aerodynamical amazing, if you fit anything it suspend in and flip out you getting for about 10€ 😆😆
You'd be right in saying that. The factory trim on the body kit is made out of plastic, and the flares are made from fibreglass. The colour is similar but not bang on. If the wide body setup works nicely this year, I'll probably get it all painted over the course of next winter 🤷♂️
Very resourceful, Milan...if your were a surgeon, you'd be doing liver transplants! Love your channel...haven't heard as much from you lately. Your hair's getting long like the rest of us in this Covid mess!
sincere congratulations! I followed this project from the first episode and you did something wonderful! just one thing ..... mini and aggressive they cannot be in the same sentence come on .... always looking at you with those "big eyes" ... my Alfa Spider 939 designed by Pininfarina is aggressive ... I hope you agree with me, Greetings from Italy :)
Thank you so much Lorenzo! 🙌 I should have said, "For a mini, it is aggressive" 👍 I have an alignment booked for this week and should be able to beat on it after that 😂 Cheers!
Feels like you've been working on this for years. You need to paint the fender flares white. Ditch the red mirror caps. Wrap the roof black. You are killing my ocd
White fender flares wouldn't match with the rest of the plastic trim; it'd look extremely weird. Red mirror caps and red front bumper air channels adds symmetry and is a perfect stylistic choice. Your "OCD" is wrong.

Thank you to all of the people who were able to stop by to hangout while we watched the video! Let me know if you guys want to do this for some future videos ❤️
looking sweet Milan, i take it you are flipping the donor mini?
where did you find the valve cover it looks so cool
0⁰⁰⁰
I gotta say, you give some of the most clear explanations along with great video of what youre doing step by step.
I'm glad you appreciate that! 👊
For the door seal clips, I've found that if you rotate them 90 degrees with some needle nose pliers, you can lift the clips out without them breaking.
Man, this is such a full send build. Hopefully, I run into you at the track someday.
Hope so! 👊
Hopefully not literally
God damn that mini is looking better and better every video you upload!!!
My friend, the parts list and info spreadsheet you have for this is amazing. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers 👊
love it! please please please de-chrome. Will complete the look!

Excellent video of the side skirt. I purchased a set for my Mini Roadster this video will help me do it myself.
🏁🏁many thanks🏁🏁
Dude... that looks awesome.... excellent transformation and installation, congrats! ..... just waiting to see it on the track
Thanks Alex! I appreciate it 🙌 yeah that'll be exciting!!
such a transformation! great job committing to it man!
Needs a blacked out roof ! Other than that keep up the good work loving it !
I contemplated it.. We'll see 🤷♂️
@@milanmastracci I actually dig the white roof. Most Minis I see have the black roofs, why be like everyone else?
One day I will be there with my build. Love learning and watching brother
Right on Brian! 💪
Holy shiet, Fire vid bro!!!! You've gotten way better at the clarity and content of your videos.
I appreciate that!
🏁many thanks🏁
question.what is the best CHIP.for the clubmasn S.2009 /6 speed?
to increase the bhp.....right now .the clubman can do 136mph tops
Brutal transformation !! I love it !!
MY GUY!! 💪
Looks awesome Milan!
Thank you!! 🙌
Absolutely beautiful. Great job, sir.
love the new look
Thank you! Myself as well 🙌

outstanding!!!
Nice! Looks like you found one of the newer front lips. Looks good. Oh and the GP diffuser looks so sick. Wish they had something similar for my clubman lol.
Yeah I did! Thank you ☺️ Yeah it would be awesome if the GP parts could bolt right up to the clubby
The mini looks great Milan, just awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you thank you 🎉
Looks good dude, I've dechromed mine and gone for black rims tho
Regarding your wheel setup...., are you using spacers? Did you need to trim or modify the fender liners? I assume you needed to do a small amount for the lip you cut off that the liner sat on, but any additional to squeeze all that rubber under the fenders? Great job!
LOOKING CLEEAAANNNN

Where can I find that same aero package you got with the fender flares and everything else that came with it? Thanks
amazing work, milan! 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Good video.? Can I make these same changes on a Base mini 2 door.
You sure can!
Hi, congrats about your video and mini also, you made a really great job!!
I really like the mini Keep it Aesthetic wide flares you put in on in your mini, what's size did you get and when can I get them?? thx
That looks NASTY! Well done dude, And a good Demo! UK
Broooo that plate is sick 🤙
😂 I get a kick out of it every time I see it ahah
Car looks damn good.
Looks sweet man 👍 lol live the Covid Hair 😝🤘
Thanks Kevin! Oh man the Covid hair is killing me ahah ✂️
Beat me to it haha
YES FINALLY I LOVE THIS CAR
👏 Finally!!!
I like that you chose a good looking kit that is also functional! People overlook functionality lol are you planning to add a GP2 belly pan/undertray?
That's the last piece I need, but I'm looking to install some chassis bracing on the front end before that.
hey bro do you have a catch can on your car ? and can you tell me if it is better to put a catch can on the rear pcv hose or to the front pcv hose that goes to the turbo?? thanks in advance for the help
Awesome video as always!
I finally got a tune on my Mini and damn these things are fun.
Thanks Furkan! Yes they are.. its the reason I keep modding mine 😉
hey bro quieck question what are the size of the rim and tires and what is the brand of the wheels
Hello, very good video, one question, what is the model of the mini?
It is an R56 John Cooper Works.
@@milanmastracci what year is?
cool whip ma dude
Thanks man! I appreciate it 👊
good job, thanks for the information and video.
Great vid, on the wheel specs you mentioned at the end....wondering what offset you went with?
I think a red roof would set it off perfectly with the other red accents
Yeah I think you're right! 💪
will be a good idea to buy a hair trimmer too ✌🏻
Definitely! ✂️
Hey man what type of wheels are those and size
How did you paint the brake ducts red?
Damn dude the mini looks handsome af. Been watching your vids for years and can't believe the mini is finally almost complete lol keep it up bud. Are you going to have a meetup for us guys in Ontario some day after the pandemic? Would be a sick time to show off the mini
Thanks Taylor! Yeah I think it could be fun. Let's just hope this entire Covid thing moves along quickly.. I'm ready for stuff to go back to normal
Very smart...
Looks amazing!
Thanks buddy! 🙌
Do you have a link to the fender flares?
Looking good Milan. I don't think I've ever seen your hair that long though. :D
Me neither! Its been well over a decade since my hair has been this long 🙈
Good outfit!
Could you share the information about wide fender seller?
Nice work bruh
Thanks 💯
Congratulations 🎉👏 after 3 years of hard work. I been here since day one I really like this Mini Monster project it looks so great 😍 🙌👌 I hope you make some videos in the 1/4 Mile gaping some V8's 🤟🤟!!!!

Do you recall the wheel offset?
Hey my friend, do you have a turbo timer to run the car to cool down the turbo?
I do not, however the car comes stock with an auxiliary water pump to flow coolant through the turbo after the car has been turned off.
Very nice I like it 💯🏎🚙🚘👍🏾👌🏾
Thank you! Cheers!
i have a pepper white r56 in stock form and have followed your videos for about a year now. nice work, but i have to say those flares take away from your car. your channel has been very helpful.
Do you have the front bumper you removed still and if so could I buy it? I would cover shipping... Hit a coyote and got backed into and hard tracking down another hypersport aero front bumper.

Love it.
Thanks Dale!
Milan do you have any HD Photos so I can make the car my wallpaper?
Not yet, but I'll get some for sure!
Is that white side skirt the black one that came on the car originally and did you just paint it? Where can I get the after market side skirt?
It is not the same as the black one on the car. That is another kind of side skirt all together.
@@milanmastracciThanks. Where can I buy the after market one?
Hi I am a fan of mini’s but i was wondering if I wanna do something like your’s, body and mechanic mods how much money should I expect to put in?
I will go over that in a later video 👍
Love the channel! You have been an invaluable resource for my own mini woes and upgrades. Had an '08 MCS R56 N14 till I wrecked it. Now I have an '09 JCW R56 N14, and I love it even more.

Hi... Great Car. How much The Body Kit.. Listen and Shipping.. Germany??? Thanks.. 😔👍🙏👋
Good job buddy !! Looks awesome and I dont like minis too much hahhaha.
Thanks Diego!! 🙌
Hi Milan Are you going to put paint protection film on the mini ???
Hey! I'm not sure yet. I think I am going to do the bumper at least. I might swap out my hood for something a bit lighter with venting 🙈
milanmastracci nice!!!!
Looks great just wrap the roof in red or black
I might do red 🤷♂️
That’s combination looks super🔥
Would you colour match your flares to the body colour?
I've contemplated it. I first want to ensure they last me before I paint them 👍
What's the offset on your wheels?
Hi, how much outstanding offset on your widebody
Are you asking how much wider are my fender flares? They are +25 and +30mms, which is why I can run the wider wheels and tires.
How about now a GP wing or even a challenge wing ?
is it after faster on your speed limited roads or did you only for shine 😂😂😂😂 you can take front lower rubber lip of Opel/Vauxhaul Vectra B fits like on every car and works aerodynamical amazing, if you fit anything it suspend in and flip out you getting for about 10€ 😆😆
What rims are those?
What wheels r those, they look super good!
Check the end of the video, I go over them 👍
WEY2LOUD best tag I've seen
Thanks Luis! 😂
@@milanmastracci Lol no prob man, cheers from Miami
Hey Milan, is it just me or the black trim on the body kit doesnt match the widebody fenders?
You'd be right in saying that. The factory trim on the body kit is made out of plastic, and the flares are made from fibreglass. The colour is similar but not bang on. If the wide body setup works nicely this year, I'll probably get it all painted over the course of next winter 🤷♂️
You should do a chrome delete, it makes the car look 10x more aggressive
Very resourceful, Milan...if your were a surgeon, you'd be doing liver transplants! Love your channel...haven't heard as much from you lately. Your hair's getting long like the rest of us in this Covid mess!
Maybe one day if cars don't work out for me ahah So true! I need a cut so bad..
what size tires do you have on your mini?
I go over the wheel and tire setup at the end of the video 👍
I caught that
What are those rims called. They really look cool on a mini 🔥
I mention the wheel setup in the video towards the end 👍
@@milanmastracci yes I know but don't know the correct spelling. Just wanna add it to my list of this I want to get lol..
everyday he skirrt skirrt
What’s the name of the outro song? It’s catchy lol
That panel gap between the bonnet and front bumper looks a bit big.
Put some spacers on it
Do a chrome delete 🙌🏻

Only thing missing is a lockdown haircut 👨🏼🦲
Bro the under side of your car is immaculate!! 😍😍😍
Thank you 🙌 I've done a hell of a lot of work to get it to that point 👍
Pleeeaae take your jcw to the dyno
I will 💪 gotta see what kind of numbers she's putting down!
