We will be adding other additional parts to the conversion with lots of options coming for the not only the exterior but the interior too.


As long as you have the above Chassis get in touch with us if you fancy adding a bit of sauce to your Mini, with our mega mini makeover.



We have been discussing putting our own daily driver R56 Mini's together for a while now, so we thought it was about time we got searching for the right base car, with a Diesel very high on the list, mainly due to its 60+ MPG return as well as the ridiculously cheap £20 road tax a year makes it a very appealing car to daily around whist showing off the product we manufacture and sell for these little bundles of joy.

The first thing we have had to do is get in search mode for the right base model Cooper D and we didn’t just get one pop up, we managed to get two, both great colours with great spec,. We now have in the fleet an 07 pastel blue, with a white roof and mirrors, and a beautiful cream R56 07 plate with matching half leather interior, panoramic roof and every electric option you can think of.

The first job will be to paint the flares ready for fitting and then fitted with our choice of wheel, as our own dedicated flow-form wheel is ready yet and won’t be for a while we have been scouring the market for a 9” wheel in either 16” or 17” size with 3SDM coming to the rescue with their 5.0 design in 9x16 and our desired offset, its a great looking wheel and come with a huge concave profile, so will suit the look of the build to perfection, a white set will adorn the blue Mini and a black set will be fitted to the cream both fitted with 245/45R16 tyres front and rear

We look forward to showing you the finished versions over the next few weeks as they take shape.

VAD R56 Mini flares, also fit the R55, R57 & R58 chassis


 

Our wheels of choice will be the 3SDM 5.0 9X16, with its deep concave profiled face and low offset, itst he perfect wheel design for the look we are after.

 

9X16 3SDM 0.05

Each car will be de-chromed and have the windows tinted by our good friends over at 1st Choice Tints, who has the task of getting rid of all that chrome bling around the windows, lights, grill and boot lid , we cant wait to bring you the transformation.




Updated: Nov 21, 2019


We have been actively involved in the new Mini scene for quite some time, especially the R56, R57, R58 & R59 models with us looking to branch out into the F56 model sometime this year with a flare and a trick wheel set up.

Our main focus has been based around the flares with us wanting to fit a wider wheel and tyre set up, there are a few kits on the market and we have purchased and fitted all of them, without going into detail the quality has been somewhat disappointing and when your spending the best part of £750 to £1000 you want a good quality product, which we didn't get, so we manufactured our own and we now have the quality as well as the fit and finish we want, as with all of the products we make, for us its about controlling the the quality which is a pretty important factor when your selling and manufacturing your own parts.

 

Gary Adams and his epic wide fender Mini Cooper S

Some of the first parts we made and sent out have been to Italy for a race going Cooper S for Team P3M ASD and a set has found its way to Florida for our good Friend Gary Adams and his amazing road going cooper S, this particular Mini has been a labour of love with Gary spending some serious amounts of cash on not only the look of this stunner but also the performance side of this matt black beauty, which is also acting as a great advertising campaign for his company, Natural Instinct Dog Training.

At the moment Gary is sitting on an aggressive set of 9x15 Koenig wheels fitted with 245/40R15 tyres which are soon to be updated to a set of 9x16 with suitable larger tyres, we love the way it sits on the BC coilover suspension Gary has previously installed, it just looks so menacing.

We are looking forward to seeing Gary progress with this build and see his vision come to fruition, for us it looks absolutely perfect just as it is.

Over the next couple of weeks we will see Mauro from P3M take to the track in his Mini cooper s that has been dressed too in our wider flares, this is a very special build, especially as it will be sitting on a very special set of ATS Motorsport GTR light weight wheels, in 17" with a very aggressive offset and slick tyres will make one awesome looking Mini.

For more details on our Mini parts get in touch with us, our parts list is about to expand for the R53 as well as the newer F56 models.
