The best modified R56 Mini in the UK ! [FIRST DRIVE]

[@kellybongers6111]

Vince is my neighbour and I can tell you that he cleans that car 5 to 6 hours a weekend, it is an amazingly beautiful car and Vince is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

[@amapolishplummer]

Out of interest do you live around Epsom? Remember seeing this all the time around there when I worked in Epsom.

[@SirThisWayPlz]

Is he a Hong Konger or Chinese BN?

[@clownworld-honk410]

With that exhaust system, I'm pleased he's not my neighbour!

[@grahamforbes3243]

Beautifully executed mods but oh me, couldn’t live with that exhaust !

[@will4may175]

Yup it'll be a laugh for about 5 mins and then annoying as hell.

[@Wisey_83]

​@@will4may175 haha..nah, I Look for reasons to drive mine 😂 in spite of the noise! The noise is half the fun at least haha.

[@will4may175]

@@Wisey_83 Many years ago I had a MK2 Zetec S Mondeo (loved that car sadly not a ST200 though), wolfrace wheels, lowered, and just had a full stainless rally sport rasping twin exit exhaust fitted right before our holiday, From the Midlands down to Gatwick South, for the first few miles on the M1 the sound was great but after a couple hours singing at motorways speeds the mrs and kids were done with it as it was 2am and they couldn't sleep very well, so on return I had a box fitted to quiet it down a bit

[@briangriffiths114]

I used the Mini configurator for the first time today to visualise a cream coloured Cooper with black bonnet stripes. Competitively priced at £18.5K for a car that matches a 205 GTi 1.9 in performance and it would also fit into my small garage! I now get why they are so popular.

[@edwingeorge7448]

I've been watching a few Mini Cooper vids recently solely for the sheer happiness you get from the exhaust notes but, my oh my. This car has definitely done that and much more. I'm sitting here with a wide grin plastered across my face with absolute respect for the owner's choice of setup and the way it has been presented by Peter and Vince. Vince, if you're reading this, your car is an absolute beauty and thank you for the smiles! Peter, thank you for showing these cars to us with your channel! Sincerely, A big guy with an even bigger grin.

[@MillieonaVespa]

Holy shit ….my eyes nearly fell out of my head when I seen that interior…..that’s unreal ! ….superb doesn’t quite cover it !

[@keithevans5667]

I agree.....Wow Wee!

[@PetrolPed]

It sure is lovely 👍

[@KCnLex]

See I was good and changed my comment from holy **** to holy monkeys, but I was thinking what you said!

[@garethedwards2883]

The cost of all that work must have been astronomical but wow isn't it worth it, like you said Pete the attention to detail is second to none and a truly special one off car. What a great guy Vince is too so humble and never stops smiling.

He’s a lovely bloke 👍

[@kmhurd4493]

Epic inside and out! 🙌🏼 what an awesome MINI. Thanks for the video Ped!

[@PetrolPed]

My pleasure 👍

[@gravityhammer25]

Such an insane build, I just took delivery of a JCW GP (that I plan to keep completely stock) but seeing the amount of work this person put in is crazy. I think my car tuning days are over, I had a 426whp Type R that was good for a while... but then it all went up in flames (literally) lol.

[@felixjones9198]

We (my missus and I) have an R56 S cabrio and a Mitsubishi Evo X, both of which are tuned to the nuts but kept as stock looking as possible- except for the noise! PS, great vid, best Mini vid I've seen on tha tube.

[@Bilboswaggamuffin]

I’m a huge fan of pops and bangs so that mini has gone straight into my good books

[@desmondobrien68]

Love it! Great Job Vince!! 👍

[@vincentbarnes7839]

I would go even further than that and make the bloody things illegal.

It put me off just watching the video 8-((... Rest of the car's lovely but that exhaust 💨💥💥💥💥💥

[@PetrolPed]

My roadster does the same and yes they do wear you down after a while 😂

[@buzbygolf]

What a car absolutely brilliant made me smile all the way through and obviously the pops and bangs pleased you certainly a credit to its owner 😁😁👍

[@DuaneCaldwell]

Absolutely stunning! Thanks for bringing this beast to the channel, Peter and Vince!! I'm afraid my neighborhood homeowner's association would legally ban me from driving into the neighborhood.

[@PetrolPed]

LOL 😂

[@KCnLex]

You could be like my neighbor who drives a McLaren, he frequently peels out once dark and really goes. I guess he thinks if you can't see it no one will know who it is. Doesn't seem to realize we all know the sound of his car and the taillights are wonderfully distinctive. Of course none of us want to ban him, we would however not mind being lent the car for a drive.

[@DuaneCaldwell]

@@KCnLex LOL, now there is a thought! Get all involved and nobody can rightfully complain.

Well done Vince: beautiful MINI with tasteful & classy mods. Great video Peter 🙂

[@grahamknibbs5481]

Beautiful detail everywhere, especially the interior and bonnet carbon treatment. Love the doors and the Recaro seats, However I wouldn’t want to clean those wheels too often. BUT those pops and bangs from the exhaust!! “Anti Social” comes to mind. It would drive me and probably my Nieghbour’s mad.

[@Outlaw-Pete]

Loved this one. Party piece pops and bangs are just wow....to live with though? Nah, but as a show piece this is an incredible mini. The owner seems like such a polite, smiley, well spoken man too I didn’t expect this to be fair. No wonder he’s constantly smiling though with those pops/bangs.

I unfortunately would find it necessary to install an assassin’s silencer on the AK47 … my neighbors would have me strung up, in public view, otherwise. But the on petal sound was that one dreams of. Wonderful video, Mini and owner. Cheers!

Two on the drive and on MINI number seven here. I’ve always loved the wee mods, personal changes to make MINI’s more personal be it simply white indicator bulbs or more. The owner has went all in as they say and fair play. I enjoying seeing people mods, some may not be to my taste but I always appreciate the effort and engineering. Bet that absolutely chews through tyres 😁. And I though people doing the joey mod to the lights were brave😁.

[@philipparkes5682]

Hi Ped Some might consider it to be over the top, but all credit to Vince I think it is brilliant. However would pass on the exhaust mods for road use. The build quality and attention to detail is superb. We need people like Vince, I vanity see the same enthusiasm when all that it available are EV’s😥

[@merlin2s111]

@@PetrolPed So would you like me to send you some info and pics? What's your preferred method if you do?

[@paulduffy697]

I’d love to know the total spent on getting it to this standard..👍

[@Libadergiotis]

Does a dyno sheet exist? I doubt that the thing produces 310 bhp with the shitty forge Ic and a stock cooper s airbox.

[@Libadergiotis]

@R56Minilambo F & V it wasnt meant to be a hurtful comment, but with the forge ic not only me but many other saw intake temps above 50 degree C above ambient with a stock turbo. My forge ic was a bottleneck with my bigger turbo even limiting flow for more then 270 hp. Then the stock airbox - even with a filter it provides enough restriction to reduce the turbo efficiency. As someone who changed every bold on this engine and even calibrates the ecu myself i defo know the stuff. Iam tired seeing people throwing numbers everywhere without backing the number with evidence. 100-200 times with weight, dyno sheets with power loss and wheel hp - with temps and correction factors. Fueling used and boost pressures. Without all that pushing random hp numbers is bs and just a flex. On another video (again from GB) they claimed 300 hp with the stock jcw turbo. So please do the mini community a favor and contribute evidence, so comments like mine wont show up anymore.

[@britishminiclub]

“Mate this is naughty” 😂😂. Wow your smile Pete. Our neighbours would go nuts with that exhaust when I come home after a night shift 😂😂. It would be fun though. We agree it has to be the best modded MINI around 👍

A show car that goes aswell as it looks👌👍. I like all the details & work that's gone into making the Mini, unique & look as good as it does. I don't mind the occasional pop's & cracks from an exhaust & I can see that having popcorn & AK's firing out the back can be fun sometimes/party-piece, but for me I'd be tempted to have a popcorn tune available at the flick of a switch (missile style flip switch - ON/OFF ).

Great looking Mini and what an attention to detail. However, having a dog that has developed a fear of cars, after we one day where we were passed by 40ish cars with popping exhaust, I will NEVER make my exhaust pop if I’m passing a dog on the street or in an area where I’d expect dogs.

Holy......monkees, I would want to drive it with the bonnet top OFF! Every time I drove it I would have the microfiber out to get any particle of dust off the moment I got home. I would spend equal time looking at it as driving it. And letting a stranger borrow it? Yeah, right, I wouldn't let my best friend drive it (maybe if Jay Leno was my best friend I might). It might be noisy, impractical and expensive....but I still like it.
