Brother, tbh, When i bought my Mini an year ago, I used to put lot of thinking. Then watching your videos and eventually, settled up for the 2015 Cooper S here in the states. Now slowly, I am working on facelift. But Cooper OEM Parts are expensive AF here. So taking it slowly! Thanks for all the amazing videos you put on this. Lastly, How do you source the parts? From Mini directly or?

[@GenaF]

I always love your videos. Hope you are well!

[@carcreationsyt]

Thanks so much! You too!

[@markwhelan1414]

Don’t forget you added a big brake kit, rims too if I’m not mistaken. Car looks fantastic!

[@carcreationsyt]

True! It was hard knowing what to include in this video!

[@TEverettReynolds]

Amazing! I own five Mini Coopers and didn't know you could upgrade all the parts like that. Great job. Nice JCW exhaust-that's not stock, you know. You should do a stereo speaker swap next and install those BimmerTech Alpha speakers, subs, and amp.

[@wallacecalvet]

Hey! Nice video. When you have time, could you make a video showing how to change the MINI DCT fluid? Thanks.

[@carcreationsyt]

Thanks for stopping by and watching! I will take a look at that process, thanks for the idea!

[@barrypos55]

My 2016 Mini Cooper DS...2.0.Ltr turbo Diesel. .... I drowned it in a flood in February. Devastated it was an insurance company write off. . Ive now got a 2015 Mini Cooper PACEMAN S. With he 1.6 turbo petrol. I want my Mini Cooper DS back!!!!! Your MINI looks epic..congratulations. B

[@alwong604]

Try to get out of the Paceman and back into the Cooper ASAP. The N18s are nowhere near as reliable as the B48s.

[@carcreationsyt]

Thanks so much for watching!! Oh no, thats so sad! I agree, as cool as the paceman is, the f series minis are more reliable and a bit more nimble than the Paceman.

[@MrEpsilonEagle]

Just take care of the Paceman . After 2012 MINI is much better. My Paceman JCW has got 130.000 miles/ 210.000 km on it.

[@alwong604]

@@carcreationsyt N18 is definitely better than the N14. Maintenance is key with ALL engines!

[@owen4326]

Was the spoiler a straight swap? I think I saw you mention on another video you got it from AliExpress and asked them not to add the decals, just wondering if you had to adjust the factory fixtures at all or whether it was just pop-off, pop-on? Car looks awesome now though, glad you managed to come in under target/budget too!

[@carcreationsyt]

Thanks for watching! Yeah it was a super simple swap! There is a bracket under the old spoiler that I had to remove, but an easy couple screws later, the new spoiler fit perfectly.

[@TheMikeboyz]

The hood is fire!!! You mentioned it's custom from China. Can you drop the link for that or where else could I get one?

[@carcreationsyt]

Thanks!! I got it from jskracing Here is their store jskracing.en.alibaba.com/collection_product/mini_cooper/1.html?spm=a2700.shop_plser.41413.60.19da2314CBn2Tk&filterSimilar=true&isGallery=Y&filter=null

[@tadonoku7958]

love the videos Mann I been looking for a blow blow off valve for a mini cooper s 2021 do have any good options for it 🤔 that will fit on

[@carcreationsyt]

Thanks for watching! Had not responded yet as I am also currently looking for one. No luck yet sorry

[@tadonoku7958]

@carcreationsyt it's all good Mann thanks for taking youre time to read it, I've been looking to but no luck

[@GenaF]

Was it the rear bumper you messaged me about getting for you to my address? I was gutted i never saw the message for months as I would have loved to help you. Gena x

[@carcreationsyt]

Yeah it was. No worries! I never check my personal insta dms 😅 I got it in the end!

[@ponderatulify]

I would love to have a 2023 exterior with a 2024 interior

[@carcreationsyt]

Same! That would be super cool

[@nicholasr6381]

that's what Mini should have done. The exterior looks rank on the 2024

[@bobbydilley]

I think all 2023 MINI's come with Adaptive Cruise Control, that might be a good retrofit next!

[@carcreationsyt]

Great idea! I have been saving replacing the windshield for that exact upgrade. People tell me I need levelling sensors so have been looking into that and trying to figure out what is involved with that

[@JP-bh7wb]

@@carcreationsyt Yess please do it! I am interesting in fitting adaptive cruise control to my MINI too

[@TheMikeboyz]

The GP spoiler, will it fit any F model? I'm wondering if it will fit the 21 F60 countryman.

[@carcreationsyt]

Unfortunately it only fits the hatch models. F55, 56, and 57. You may be able to find something similar for the countryman on aliexpress

[@6wec]

*Also interior mood lighting for the doors was retrofitted

[@ponderatulify]

Would you try to do an upgrade to the 2024 infotainment? 😅

[@carcreationsyt]

Possibly! We have to see if the software / electronics are compatible.

[@bobbydilley]

@@carcreationsyt They're 100% completely different unforunately!
