What did you do to your mini today?
2004 R53 MC40 #211 JCW - Removed and stripped the Headliner. Getting ready to recover and re-install. (ordered material) I need to order 2 of the yellow panel clips...they didn't survive.
I took the time to pull the side panels completely out, I'll vacuum and clean prior to re-installing them.
I did not know that the rear pillar covers are tethered, so I ended up having to leave them hanging.
I will also replace the foam rear panel filters, they are in sad shape.
Washed the car, and locked it up until ready for reassembly.
Motor on!

Here is the pics of the JCW parts.
JCW black leather steering wheel w/red stitching ? The JCW GP 2 Version ( thicker ) or JCW version ( standard thickness ) ? See below for options on the R56+, put all the options.
This is the JCW Leather wheel that is normal thickness but has a red stitching on the inside. Found on newer JCW's and JCW Countryman.

Also installed a new main toggle switch panel (for rear fog lights) with the toggle, and had MINI activate the rear fog lights (reprogram the ECU) --funny how some MINI dealers say you have to "purchase" the fog lights when for a 2013 MCS they're ALREADY THERE, just need to be activated via ECU reprogram w/BMW codes!
-Just received H-Sport comp RSB and NM Engineering Ti Heat Shield. To be installed next weekend! Whah-hoo!
No, it is the replacement part for the cold side to intake on the right side of the engine bay, replacing the big coupled rubber hose. If you still have it, it would replace or delete the noise maker Y. Pricey sucker. But it works. No leaks!
Interesting! I didn't know they made that for our N14 engines! Or is it an N18 part? How much is pricey?
Griz, I think it is a universal replacement. I ultimately found the part number at my local dealer under the part plates for 2011 R60! Alternatives don't seem to be available any longer. I believe it applies to all turbo'd cars with the exception of the F cars of course.
Suspension Mod - R56/GP rear Trailing Arms & Rear Sway bar
Got the rest of the parts for my Rear Suspension Upgrade:
R56/GP Rear Trailing Arms
Helix Shock/Strut Adapters
Hotchkis 22mm Rear Sway Bar (Hollow)
Rear Speed Sensors
R56 End Links
All Associated Factory Bolts
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...rsion-kit.html
Now I just have to install it all and get the car Re-Aligned

Drove 220 miles to Dealer to have 1st scheduled maintenance performed. Oil change, filter change, inspection. ( I had changed oil and filter at 1500miles and 5000miles). The CBS indicator was on at 8520miles. The car runs great, no issues to report. I plan on continuing the oil changes at 5000mile intervals.
Dealer found right front rim had small ding on inside rim. Gave me a quote $355.00 to replace rim. After I informed him the rims were covered by insurance purchased when I bought the Coupe S, He told me it wasn't leaking air and would be fine without changing It out.
The dealer gave the coupe a courtesy wash and they did an excellent job on the Mini clean up, looks better than when originally delivered.
The 220 mile drive home was fun down historic Route 66 and the cool air had the Coupe S engine even more responsive than it usually is.
I have enjoyed every mile of the 8740 on the clock.
Keep motoring!

Today my '02 R53 will turn over 100,000 miles. To celebrate, I bought it a Cravenspeed oil dipstick (hint: it's not a stick at all...) and I've ordered a replacement for my old hacked up JCW Aero kit front bumper, grills, and fog light covers. My hoodstripes are 12 years old so they're looking pretty ragged and I have a couple of big rock dings in the hood so I may spring for a repaint on the hood, as well.
Never had a car I've enjoyed as much as this one!

We have the factory Cooper S Hood stripes here: and for the price its a great deal. 51140407142 & 51140407141

Yea, its just the N14 6/2010+ back intake tube for the Turbo S engines. In 6/2010 they got rid of the sound tube, but they kept it for the N14 Turbo JCW engines up to 2012. Used as stock on the N18 Turbo engines.
