Hi Peter. Not my car, but I'd change the alloys. These ones kinda look like they've all been curbed five times due to the design around the rim. Some quality black alloys would look good to me. the whole car needs to look a bit meaner overall.

[@PetrolPed]

[@dj_paultuk7052]

That is NOT going to increase airflow into the engine by 30%. Sorry but they are having you on there. At best it will be 5% improvement over a paper filter, with maybe 1 or 2bhp max improvement. Dont forget to wash it every 6000 miles also. Oh and take it out before you put it in for its dealer service. Otherwise they will void your engine warranty.

[@dj_paultuk7052]

One of the guys on the A class forums had his A45 engine warranty made void just by an air filter. So i take mine out just before every service and put the paper one back in. I do not notice any power improvement what so ever. But you do get a little more induction noise that is normally silenced by the paper filter.

[@markturner-smith5309]

Panel filters always best - all the benefits of cone filters (the full expensive inclosed cold feed induction systems maybe more benefit) but without the hot air heat sock halfords DIY cone systems give. Believe that bonnet scoop was purely for the first generation Cooper S and extra cooling for the supercharger that sat directly behind it, now as you say fake does nothing as turbocharged - BMW just see fit not to remove it from a style point of view.

[@Titot182]

It's a shame they only have roof bars specced on the 19-20MY. You mentioned in your other video that you can carry your bike inside the car (although in my case, it's a 29er large enduro bike), have you investigated as to whether the rear subframe can take the OEM Mini Cycle Carrier? The only reason I ask is that the missus has an R60 Clubman Cooper D, and all you need to do is whip off the 2 plastic tabs on the towbar eyelets, slide in the carrier and torque it up and then connect the 7 pin light bar onto the included wiring loom. Does the clubman have this feature (even if it means having to retrofit a 7 pin connection) because it will elevate the JCW Clubman to being my next car - I'm mostly going to be using it for b road bruising and shuttling bikes in and around Forest of Dean, Wales and occasionally jaunts into the Cotswolds. Cheers for your feedback though! +1 sub (I was also watching your Macan videos, since a used Macan is also in contention - AWD (because I always end up parking in a boggy field/layby) and sporty handling and 350 litre+ boot space are my key requirements)

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks for this. Actually done a video on carrying bikes for next Friday. But with the roof rails and bars. Didn’t know about rear mounted carrier. Will look into it 👍

[@Titot182]

@@PetrolPed - I've been trying to dig around the forums to see if the F54 came specc'd with the cycle carry prep. Certainly on the R60, if you remove the circular tabs, it should reveal threads on the subframe for you to mount the cycle carrier. However, this is often done in unison with the 7 pin light bar connector - I'm presuming that there's nothing in and around the rear diffuser/exhaust assembly for this? Otherwise, you may be in luck! I'm really keen on the clubman, but if there isn't a practical way of accommodating this, I might have to consider the F60 JCW instead since I know my thule roof bars will fit onto the open rails of the countryman; also content with the R60's handling, so I can only imagine the F60 JCW would be more precise/engaging. Looking forward to seeing that vid of your load lugging!

Hey Pete Huge fan here.. I just bought an R58 Cooper S 13 plate and I'm looking to potentially do some mods myself. Definitely interested in Lohen's package II that you did to Ruby Roadster. My question to you and to anyone who might have an answer is what insurance company/ies are more "open" to mods? By how much could potentially my premium will increase? (I am aware that yours only increased to £40 a year and that's really good) however I'm a 26 year old and I really don't want any surprises of my already not cheap insurance doubling or anything like that.

[@gavinjohns7404]

I installed a K&N filter on my new Mini Cooper but after reading this I will probably remove it: "The K&N “plugged up” nearly 3 times faster, passed 18 times more dirt and captured 37% less dirt. See the data tables for a complete summary of these comparisons." www.nicoclub.com/archives/kn-vs-oem-filter.html The Motech is not oiled like my K&N. What is the dirt catching ability of a Motech? Update to above: "An improved air filter is a good upgrade. A classic, oiled cotton, K&N air filter ... however ...is not one of them. Go for one of the "oil-less" dry filters instead. AEM makes them and they are a *very* good upgrade. Better flow without the oil that can potentially gum up your mass airflow sensor (MAF). The "dry" filters require just soap and water to clean ...let it dry ...then reinstall. K&N thinks so too; they bought out AEM." Definitely removing that K&N now, especially after getting an oil 'stain' that has come from the 'inside' of the intake pipe!

if it's like my BMW the screws actually don't come out the top cover unless you screw them out as they are retained in place, when you unscrew them they go loose when they are out of the lower part of the box then they go tight again when you try and unscrew them out of the upper part.

[@David-bl1bt]

Ditto, I did the same on a 3 litre V6 Capri. Unfortunately the engine was running as the screw disappeared into the carbs. Major panic .Removed the manifold between the 'V' to look for it... hey presto water flooded out into the valve ports! Failed to realise it had waterways in it doh! Didn't know which side of the 'V' it went.... So eeny meeny time. Obviously I chose the wrong bank as no screw to be seen, so both heads had to come off. So... head gasket x2, water manifold gasket, carburettor gasket required before reassembly.. .Late Sunday by now so no chance! Had to get public transport to work all the following week whilst waiting for the parts. Took the whole of the following weekend to reassemble, refill with water & antifreeze and sort out the air lock. After all this, the screw was nowhere to be seen. Very baffling....until I reversed the car out of the garage...where it was observed lying on the floor 😮😥😖😠🥴. Either it didn't fall into the engine in the first place, or it was flushed out of the manifold in the torrent of coolant. So... never underestimate a 20 minute job!

[@demonlee1933]

Changing Air Filters is not always a good idea as a Dyno might discover a loss in power, in addition, if it allows an additional 30% air flow, then it also adds 30% more risk of particles into the combustion and that long term causes damage to the engine - think about this, BMW-MINI spend millions on developing a performance engine, why would they fit it with an unsuitable air filter?

I was hooked until the pooches arrived on camera ! It's funny all the stuff we used to do , cone filters , webber carbs , hi output coils , plugs , updated leads. Now in 10 minutes you plug a tuning box to the fuel rail sensor and on the turbo boost , ta da 15 -20 % power boost! Think you might get more noise at the higher revs. Some ideas. Modern driving aids. Active lane assist driving the car , self park , front assist, Adaptice cruise. I know you cannot be out in the car to explain these things but many drivers never use them as it's a dark art! Give an explanation or discus. Remember my first experience of front assist with scooters diving in front of my car in San Tropez causing it to slam on the brakes! Another DIY mod could be interior panel gap trim. Just pushes into dash or door trims to liven up interior. I have some chrome red for Ateca , just no time. Keep safe.

They designed that induction path to keep water out of the airbox. If you do get a kit to open up the bonnet scoop make sure it has a path to reduce water ingress. 30% more airflow from 50% thinner filter and 80% less filtration sounds about right. Air filters tend to be one of the least cost effective upgrades. The filter may flow a little more air at high revs but how often are you doing that. The rest of the time the standard filter will provide all the air the car needs.

It’s great with me getting my Black Panther so close to you getting Charley Clubman as I’m looking to you as my mentor for easy DIY jobs which won’t affect my warranty. Firstly the belt line and now this. I have asked my husband about opening up the bonnet scoop and he ummed and ahhed about it. He doesn’t seem keen. You say there’s a company does a kit to open up the scoop ?... would you please be able to tell me who so I can look to it for consideration. As I’m so new to my Mini, I’m not aware of all the main companies making Mini modifications & gadgets so I would always be grateful to you name dropping during your videos featuring Charley and Ruby. The last ‘hottish hatch’ I owned was a Peugeot 309GRi back in the 90’s. I had wanted a 309GTi but I couldn’t find a four door at the time I was looking, but I had two children and I never put my kids in the rear of two door cars. The GTi I wanted had the 1.9i engine whereas the GRi had the 1.6i engine usually in the 205GTi. I stripped lots out and put a k&n induction kit w/ cone filter. The induction noise on that was amazing. Back in those days I was a proper petrol head and got most of my stuff from Demon Tweeks although I worked in a motor factors at the time. The Puglet itself was understated with being a GRi... it had the ‘luxury’ features rather than looking like it wanted a race and I removed the ridiculous red badge saying INJECTION as it looked out of place. I had uprated suspension and brakes for it too and my Dad used to take it to the nearby rolling road to be tweaked; he was well into his kit cars although he never had a Caterham like you , although he was very impressed when one effortlessly passed him on his way to work. I planned to do much more with my Puglet but it was a terrible starter. I became quite the expert at bump starting when it was hardly moving. I always had to park in such a way that I had space to roll it. I had everything done several times to try and trace the fault but when taken to the garage for fault finding out of sheer frustration, the Puglet would start EVERY fricking time, so they’d ring me up and say they couldn’t find anything wrong whilst it was ‘behaving’ itself so I’d collect it and drive home... then I’d decide to go out, turn the key and... NOTHING! Aaarrrggghh! Crikey I do waffle on. Sorry 😳 Gena x

Ever noticed how out of place the red wing mirrors are? They'd look better black I reckon.

Seat position😄😄 don't have that problem anymore. Both cars have comfort access.

I put a pipercross in my cooper S and it did make the turbo flutters louder but that's about it. Though I do like those flutters then the few pops and bangs in sport mode.

Top lads at motech, only negative is they are so far from where I live otherwise I'd be having mods done all the time

[@rolandbrooks467]

Enjoyable little vid there Pete. I've taken a note of motechperformance so I can follow your 'mods' and maybe do a few to my Clubman and before I go, one tip from a young 67 year old,, NEVER BUY CHEAP TOOLS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

First thing I did to Penelope: K&N Filter, then the dealer installed Dinan Elite Tune, and that does not void warranty. Yields about another 50 hp, and about 60 ft pounds of torque. For the stock F56 these made a significant difference.

I’ve got a socket set and I know how to use it...

[@garymason7]

Am I the only one that thought he was going to fit it still in the plastic hehe... The fake air intake on mine winds me up too. I wonder if you could get a little Dremel and drill out the holes? Have a go and show us hahaha!

[@PetrolPed]

I am bad but not bad 😂

[@DarrenJMHughes]

I really enjoy vids like this, no matter now basic, but it is entertaining to watch. Great little mod video.

[@PetrolPed]

That was the plan. Going for entertainment 😜
