Love it was not sure how it would work all one colour but with the mods I love it , the chrono pack looks the business as well , does it restrict or annoy your view any? As they look great.
Rear defuser looks great on the chilli red as well

The black on red in the front on the grill and headlights really looks sharp!

That looks ace, love the black details with the red paint.

Took me a while to work out why the car looked so different, it's the red body and matching roof

Looking forward to some updates!

Seeing your amazing car makes me think I want to try to do at least my grill and headlight surrounds in black. Have you ever seen these on a Rebel Green car? Do you think it would be too dark?

I'm going to do this soon to my rebel green and I'll post up photos.

Thanks - depending on what kind of parts my dealer has in stock, I might do the black grill and light surrounds pretty soon as well.

Am also thinking about adding the NM-Engineering power module (only +23hp with Japan's lower octane rating) and the NM's lowered springs. The thing I am kind of sad about is that they don't seem to offer the JCW Pro Exhaust here in Japan (can't seem to find any other alternatives either). Guess most people here are driving their JCW's stock....

There are a few tuning company's in Japan such as Duell and Giomic that have a lot of parts out for the F56, probably best to give them a shout. Wanting a few bits from the above company's but a fortune to get them delivered to the UK

Great links man - thanks! Duell is only about a 15 min drive from my house - looks like they do some crazy stuff for previous generations of Mini - hoping they just didn't get around to updating their website since right now, there doesn't seem anything for the F56. Giomic looks pretty good too - looks like they have a muffler for the F56 but no audio clips or specifics on why it is better than the standard JCW muffler. Did you check out the gorgeous Giomic racing seats? 2 of those would have been less than what Mini charges for the Dynamica upgrade.

Anyhow - thanks again!

Thanks - I just called them and Duell said they are in the process of making a muffler for the JCW but that it can't be used unless you also order their one-off rear fender that goes with it.

Am also calling/checking around for the Remus Valvetronic muffler - tons of videos and info on this as fitted to Cooper S but next to nothing on the Remus on a JCW - may just have to wait a bit..

There are users here who own a JCW and have fitted the exact same Remus system which goes on a Cooper S to their JCW. I don't believe the process is any different.

Thanks for the tip! I don't want to sidetrack this great thread so I will start another one to ask if anyone has fitted the Remus to a JCW...
