BMW MINI F56 - How to remove the front arches instructions FAQ 2014-onwards

[@brianaslett4154]

Very helpful. I needed to replace one after some minor accident damage on my F55 Cooper and this video made it a relatively easy job. I did need to cut off one clip that inserted into the bumper, it would not unclip.

[@tweedbean]

Good luck and thanks for watching

[@Oplix]

exactly the video i needed. putting on a forge intercooler and changing out my engine mount

[@tweedbean]

Good luck

Thanks for creating the video, got my replacement wheel arch in the mail today and now feel confident on how to replaced the scratched one.

[@tweedbean]

No problem thanks for watching

[@ARKANSASCHEF]

thank you for the video. Changing my sidemarker lights on my f55 and the placement of the clips proved most helpful. Went with the blacked out version.

[@tweedbean]

Glad it helped

Thank you, just had to replace mine 2015 F56 (three front lower clips by headlight were broken) followed your steps, plugged in light connector took me 15 minutes. First time ever working on a car. Who knows how much Mini would've charged me. Thks

I need to remove the front arch from my F56 which is damaged. This is really helpful for the trim but is there a video anywhere for taking off the wing that you're aware of?

[@tweedbean]

Sorry I didn’t make one as never needed too

[@varmaTrini]

There is a variant of these plastic arches that has a built in LED ?turn signal on them.Did you by chance encounter any connector dangling, for this led under the arch?.

[@tweedbean]

Hi thanks for watching. Sorry nothing under there that I could see. Assume that’s for US spec cars which may have extra wiring

[@kodai2099]

Thank you very much for this video. I had questions that you answered. Got my mini all taken care of now :) Hope you are doing great.

[@tweedbean]

Thanks for watching

Have you painted or wrapped the plastic arch, or yours is stock the car color?

[@tweedbean]

Hi I actually removed colour coded arches and fitting stock ones as I’m not a fan of colour coded arches on an f56

[@bla7422]

I’m thinking of wrapping my stock arches, but they are plastic, do u think the wrapping will stay?

[@tweedbean]

The fact someone has probably treated the black arches in the cars lifetime with some sort of back to black etc I would assume it won’t stick. Cars I’ve seen with wrapped arches had them painted first

[@bhughes1986]

Hi there, would it be a similar process for a Mini Countryman?

[@tweedbean]

Hi thanks for watching, I’ve never worked on a countryman so wouldn’t want to give you bad advice

[@jusssy5078]

Nice video, thanks. That push pin underneath I don't think is original as mine are looking different.

[@tweedbean]

Yeah mine had been in a crash at some point so likely someone put the wrong pins in

[@johnty1]

I have a F60 countryman. Is it the same part as this?

[@tweedbean]

Hi thanks for watching, unfortunately I would say they are different arches as they look much bigger

[@timmykwok3628]

[@Usercouldnotbefound]

Last time i took the arches off like that every single clip snapped lol so now i take off the arch liner and squeeze the clips out from behind

[@tweedbean]

Thanks for watching, I must have been lucky as none of mine did, atleast they are cheap as chips

[@Usercouldnotbefound]

@@tweedbean yeah i always got lucky but the last one i did my luck ran out, its not to bad if you have clips about, great video mate
