Ok things you would like to see available or more choice to improve a great car.

For me wheels that show off the brakes better like cup spokes but cut out

For me splitters as standard and rear ones in same style as front more chunky

Tuning kit approved by mini with bespoke exhaust blue tooth

That's me being picky but hey always room for improvement also would mechanical diff be good option?

Hi,
My understanding is that some F55 and F56 cars are made in the Netherlands.

Not sure how where you car is built is determined but I would hope that a UK buyer would get and Oxford built MINI.

Can anyone shed any light on this .............

First part of the Vin as far as im led to believe tells it area of build their is a site to check somewhere there is a link on here, yes I believe some Dutch amongst us >

Yes colour we struggled with on F56 if I'm honest , and like the cup wheels but just like open wheel far better as looks great with this huge front brakes. Yes maybe as grip better than R56 and torque steer better may not benefit as much as the R56 with mechanical Diff , maybe it just sounds good>

Yes agree Jelster more options for JCW at factory level and as you say lowered factory option good call, and JCW only colours have to agree with that as well

The plant in The Netherlands only produces the F56. In the VIN you can see from which plant your car is.


In the last digits it's visible:
3xxxxxx - The Netherlands
2xxxxxx - Oxford
Txxxxxx - Oxford


There are some websites which show you this information. Google is your friend on this one.


The Dutch plant produces the MINI One, Cooper and Cooper S. Oxford also has the JCW.

Thanks Mini Cooper for the info
