Mini Cooper R53 to R56 Brake Upgrade - Creating JCW R53 Brakes!

Hey Everybody, welcome to another episode where I restore Mini Cooper S R56 brakes to look exactly like a set of R53 JCW brakes. These are an awesome upgrade from the standard brakes with a much larger piston size and stopping power. Done right they look awesome! Enjoy!
For reference I purchased JCW caliber stickers from here if your wondering. They worked an absolute treat:

You know what this is a really good rundown on what to do to improve the front upgrade, I'm just about to do this myself , I have all the parts in original messy condition so onwards now to hopefully get mine to look like yours, all the best from UK

Thanks, it’s all in the prep and cleaning prior to painting, the more time you take there the better the finish, good luck with it

Sounds like patience is something you need in abundance, when working on a mini. I just wanna get in and have fun in mine. So would have to buy the new-ish callipers a week or 2 in advance , the ones on the car when I bought it are neon green and hideous.🤢🤮. Thanks for sharing dude. 👍 liked and subbed. Stay safe and stay awesome 😎

Thanks, I think the more I’m working on the Mini the less intimidating it’s becoming and easier, stay safe too

@OzMini Are those special heat resistant stickers?
How have they (the stickers) held up over time with heat cycling?

What brake pads did you go with?

There’s a bit of a story to that! In a coming video…
