Mini F56 How to upgrade to an LCI2 JCW Rear Bumper

[@Felixmfox]

As someone who has an LCi 2 JCW I can’t see why anyone would not want to do this. It is such a good facelift. Fair play to you doing what needed to be done. 👍

This looks great! I've had this on my 'I'd like to do this one day' list. It doesn't seem as complicated as I thought. Thanks for the video!

Hey. I could not make rear fog light to work. I used one of the connectors and r56 connector. Coded with bimmercode but LED doesn't ligh up. When I connect old fog lamp with the bulb it works. I just need to enable some option in bimmercode. Can you tell me exactly what needs to be enabled in bimmercode.

[@MrDevZero]

@@tweedbean Thanks. I did it following your tutorial exactly. Sourced R56 side marker connector from junkyard and wired and coded. Only difference is I had to get switch with rear fog light button. But still no light. To get old fog lamps to work I had to enable: 3068 NSL_Verbaut = Verbaut mine was disabled in expert mode. Maybe my used LED fog lamp is defective. I 've bought it on ebay. Thanks anyway. I've learned a lot from your channel. And MOT is non issue I've already passed it. Just wanted to make everything done properly. I can live without the fog light now maybe someday I'll have time to fix it.

@@MrDevZerotest led fog light with 9V battery. If it works then try to swap the + wire and - wire.

[@MrDevZero]

@@skhaos1865 I totalled my mini ;( and for some reason I still follow my mini groups, YT channels hoping someday I'll get JCW with brembos, stronger engine and the stage2 tune. I was going to trade it anyway. started saving up for JCW. What a lovely car.

[@inpherior8758]

Does this also work on the Cooper (Non S) 1.5 turbo F56? Obviously you would need to LCI2 Cooper version with the exhaust on the left-hand side

[@gillesdepuysseleir1172]

Nice upgrade! Where did you get the parts from? Thx

[@tweedbean]

I managed to pick mine up used from someone breaking a 2021 model. You can buy new from mini pets department or shop around on eBay/Facebook marketplace

[@khaledadam12]

I got all parts what you recommend but my wheel Arches liner was short as well , doesn’t line up I am wondering why!

[@tweedbean]

Did you get JCW rear arches to work with the rear bumper?

[@khaledadam12]

No I didn’t get JCW rear arches, I am not sure if you mentioned that on your video or not sorry

[@tweedbean]

Basically in the video I said that was the only bit I couldn’t advise directly on as I got the lci2 JCW ones anyway to match the JCW ones I had fitted on the front and I didn’t have pre lci JCW ones to compare to and see if they were different. So sounds like you just need the lci2 rear arches

[@skhaos1865]

Did you replace arch wheel liner? Quick a big gap 🤨

[@tweedbean]

No the arch liners are the same

[@964cuplove]

When your saying 8mm or 10mm bolt you’re referring to the spanner size not the thread - right ?

[@tweedbean]

Exactly 👍🏼

[@skhaos1865]

Have you got a chance to fit rear fog light?😁

[@tweedbean]

Not yet unfortunately once my garage build is finished I will be going through my parts pile and get this sorted

[@sprocket-YT]

have you ever adjusted the rear boot alignment ?

[@tweedbean]

Sorry I never have

[@khaledadam12]

Great video & great upgrade, do you know the parts number for wheel arches trims & rear bumper brackets please?

[@tweedbean]

Thanks, all in the video description: Parts needed: Two black plastic brackets: - 9450687 LCI2 Lateral Support LH - 9450688 LCI2 Lateral Support RH - Rear Arches both sides - part numbers may differ if you have assisted parking its 9450667 and 9450668 as that’s the spec I have yours may be different - Bumper skin made up of three parts - note there are version with and without parking sensor holes 1.Bumper skin in primer 2.Black textured part 3.Black diffuser section

[@khaledadam12]

I really appreciate that mate , thank you so much for your explanation & your quick response, you are TOP MAN A+++

[@khaledadam12]

My car is F55 , 5 doors, I have got the rear bumper for 5 doors but I didn’t know about the rear bumper brackets if they will be sane part numbers which you sent it to me or deferent to confirm please? Best regards

[@tweedbean]

[@Как-тотакпока]

Hey!) I’ve f55 2014 and I’ve the same lci rear bumper) need I buy lateral supports (lh/rh) inside the bumper for installation? And maybe you have part no of the rear fog light for this bumper?) Thank you)

[@tweedbean]

Hi yes I would thing you do need those parts, unfortunately I bought the rear bumper used so didnt need the part numbers for the rear fog etc as it came with it

[@Как-тотакпока]

@@tweedbean okay) thanks)

[@cristianpelosi]

Do you have any ideas on how to connect the rear fog light? since from 2 you go to one?

[@tweedbean]

You just use one of the wires and code the car to LED rear fog light

[@cristianpelosi]

@@tweedbean thank’s

[@carbonstore8266]

do you know if I can retrofit just the diffuser if I have a 2023 Cooper S without JCW package?

[@tweedbean]

You can retrofit the entire bumper, not just the diffuser. The diffuser won’t fit the stock s bumper

[@carbonstore8266]

Even if I have the facelifted 2023 cooper S I have to change the bumper cover?

[@tweedbean]

Not that I am aware of

[@carbonstore8266]

@@tweedbean I already got the diffusser, I searchd for the part number of the bumper and they were the same... but im going to try and let you know.

Can this fit on a 2023 Mini F56 Electric 3dr?

[@tweedbean]

Saw your response to my pic post, only issue you will have is an empty exhaust hole

[@Mr_ZeroFuel]

@@tweedbean Thanks for replying! I'm trying to get hold of an ASB plastic mesh to cover that, or maybe fit some fake exhaust tips 🤣 Question; Do I need to change the wheel arches front and rear for both JCW bumpers?

@@Mr_ZeroFuel front 100% yes, rear I am 90% sure you do

Did you sort your fog light yet cos that is a mot fail I'm sure.

[@tweedbean]

Yes can be coded via your phone and an obd dongle and use the previous connector and join wires from the previous lights. Not done it in mine as yet as car has been parked up with me using the paceman with the weather we had lately. When I do it I will record it

@@tweedbean It's unfortunate to be a MINI enthusiast in the US. Most availability is still sourced through the UK.
