    Anyone fitted a Bluefin, well when i say fitted, remapped there R50 mini one??
    Been on there web site and they reckon you get an extra 33bhp for £199
    So with a bluefin, JCW exhaust, and filter I reckon this would transform my car.

    I'm sure Burple did this as did Ryan and it transformed the car. Remember the R50 One is just a detuned Coop with diff gearbox ratios

    With a better map and different gear ratios than a cooper you can stay in lower gears longer

    Like they said... DO IT! Best thing you'll ever do to a One.. For the price it's an awesome mod. takes about 10 mins for about 30bhp you'll notice the difference immediately. it'll suddenly want to rev, and rev higher fromt he minute you turn the key.
    I had the bluefin, playmini exhaust and an induction kit, never had any bother keeping up with the big boys in the 'S's on any runs
    You'll probably get slightly better mpg too. WIN!

    Be patient tho and follow the instructions to the letter. if it says 30 secs, give it a whole 30 secs

    and any excuse to break out this vid again...

    PLAYMINI!!!!!!!!!!!!! I reckon it might be a bit cheaper too...
    Just check the fitment - I think the rear hangers are different depending on the year of the car.

    Yip... what the Elfman says.. Go Playmini. it'll be a good bit cheaper, and sound more awesomer Remember to order one for the correct year of your car too, and get the SINGLE box one.. you should be able to order straight from Playmini too.

    ...and induction kit / replacement panel filter.. your choice! I went for the kit for the better noise
