    Hey folks, new Cooper S F56 owner here (my first MINI). Thought I’d join the group to connect with fellow petrol heads.

    Plan to keep mine stock while it’s under warranty, but I am really struggling to not look at exhausts and intakes, and all the stuff that follows those gateways, haha!

    Looks really nice, not a colour I’d seen when looking for my mini or I would have included that in the mix

    Welcome along and also to the “S” club, glad to see you’ve found us and look forward to seeing the wee buggy take shape.
    Should you keep it standard whilst it’s under warranty ? PMSL

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    You don’t have to go mental and big numbers aren’t always the ultimate goal especially if you’re using it every day. Stay sensible and I’m sure you’ll not have any warranty issues ...

    Aye, I was thinking maybe just an exhaust and intake, maybe not get any remaps. If I also got a cat-less down-pipe i’d probably need to get an ECU flash, right?

    You can use a JB4 which removes the EML. plus if you was getting a decat why would you not go the whole hog

    Certainly with the exhaust you’ll get a big smile on your face. That’s been my personal favourite mod to date. Having heard the F56 with a decat I wouldn’t bother. I think it sounds terrible but each to their own. As for the power side of things there’s a number of different routes that you can go down ...
