Good luck with the clips. I searched the internet and really struggled to get the double clip on the offside. I can’t remember exactly where I got it from, it was either Latvia or Lithuania eBay. I should have gone to Mini if they are available. The rear is really coming along nicely, it looks sweet.

Hi Matey! I actually bought one previously for the front end from Mini- only a couple of £ so will be heading down there for this plus a couple of other little clips n things that I need to get the Brake lines located properly. Need to get them done and the wiring so I can get the petrol tank back in AND stop tripping over the chuffing thing 🤣

@@RichT53 nice one, I'll have to pop to the local mini dealer next time I need clips etc. It's good to know they have them or can at least get them. At least the brake lines will be easy with the tank off 👍🏻

Nice work sir ,any chance of a parts list

[@RichT53]

Hi there, Thanks- much appreciated! My mini actually had the R56 trailing arms on when I bought it so I don't really have a parts list that I can share with confidence. One thing I would say is that if you buy a full kit then make sure you get the right wheel bearings as I found out the wheel bolts are different to the R53. Make sure you get as many parts as possible including all the bolts and the front mounts. 👍

Is the arm mount from the R56 or R53?

Hi there, I am actually not 100% sure as they were already on the mini when I bought it. I am assuming R56 BUT can't be 100% sure 😕
