[@tweedbean]

Big thanks to everyone that joined us for the premiere of the video, if you have any questions about Orranje, feel free to post them below. Thanks again for all your support

[@ryanjoint4038]

Thanks for taking the time to impart some of the history from back in the day. Looks like the forum and scene was buzzing years ago!

[@tweedbean]

Thanks for watching, it was a pleasure pulling this together

[@Hartge210]

Enjoyed that James, you're getting the hang of this mate, looking forward to part 2

[@tweedbean]

Thanks John, need to tidy the editing up a bit ready for covering you car when this is all over 👍🏼

[@nezketts5820]

Thanks John :)

Great video, very interesting to see where it all started. I've only had my Mini since 2018 so wasn't yet a part of this community to see any of it grow but the success of Orranje and their products impact on the Mini community is awesome. I've had quite a bit from Orranje over the last two years and am proud to have supported a company like that. There's more bits i want yet, especially the R56 style bumper, but that's usually the case isn't it? I also love how the founders all still have absolutely wicked R53s haha

[@tweedbean]

Thanks for the great feedback, I'm proud to have been part of it.

[@TB.JCE10]

@@tweedbean No worries, bet there's still a lot of stories to tell aha. I'm jealous of the saturday club idea, need something like that in my life lol.

[@tweedbean]

Lots, I’m sure more will come out on the next video. As for Saturday club it was great and much needed at our point in life back then. Things get complicated as you get older having children etc so time for things like that can drop away but when their older is like to think we would do something like that again. Sometimes you don’t realise how good things are until they are gone and I know I need to spend more time with these guys when all this is over 👍🏼

[@1BLUEMEANIE]

I have purchased quite a few products and also find they have the best prices and the service is spot on 👍

[@tweedbean]

Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@Thorxy7]

Great video, the background and history. Also one of the most competitive prices that I've ever seen. Still one of my fav sites to purchase.

[@tweedbean]

Totally agree and thanks for watching

[@dannyvincent3365]

Awaiting delivery of my 3rd order in under 2 weeks from Orranje (after uncovering more and more problems as work continues), but sure as hell wont be my last. The fact they wont sell anything they dont rate themselves is a big confidence boost as a buyer. Great video and a top company 👍

[@tweedbean]

Thanks for watching, some great feedback for Oli

[@megagrizwald]

Such a great story , Thank you for sharing :)

[@tweedbean]

Thank you, I need to get on with part 2 at some point

[@TheAdamRawks]

Missing the Breakfast meets - everything seemed a lot more straight forward to organise 8 years ago!

[@tweedbean]

Agreed, let’s get something sorted when this is all done and dusted 👍🏼

[@stevewalker9888]

Great history of a great company, do you ever think of joining back up with olly and the orranje brand that has such a massive following? I’m newly back into playing with cars and my r53 ,

[@tweedbean]

Hi thanks for watching, however much I would love to join Orranje again, I have a successful career away from cars and a young family, so I wouldn’t have the time to commit to it again. I love that I still have a link with them, help out where I can testing products, recording fitting videos for their products etc

[@michaelwatts9716]

Hi bud,any chance u know where I can get them black engine strut bars u got on yours mate,I have seen them on a lot of r53 but not sure where u get them from,any help would b great

[@tweedbean]

thanks replied on the other post

[@michaelwatts9716]

Hi bud thanks for that mate,my son wants some for his r53,do u just bolt them straight on mate,any chance u got a link for them at orranje mate

[@tweedbean]

Depends what year the car is, early ones didnt have the bolt holes, facelift so around 2004 onwards did. If they have the holes its 4 bolts each side and fit in 5 mins. If you dont have the holes then you could maybe weld them. Orranje dont list them, you have to contact them directly

[@michaelwatts9716]

Ok bud that’s sound thanks for all your help,my lad has got 2005 r53 with the aero kit,thanks can’t wait to see more bits on your r53 mate

[@michaelwatts9716]

The green ones mate sorry I thought they was black

[@tweedbean]

Hi yes they are cabrio braces from the first gen Mini convertible your local dealership or Orranje performance can get hold of them as they are OEM partsp
