Matt’s R53 is fitted with a dealer 210 bhp kit. The car was fitted with the kit a day before being registered, at Enfield MINI in April 2005. Kit number S8067. The car is finished in hyper blue with a black roof, whilst the contrasting aero kit and arch trims are finished in body colour.
When Matt bought the car in may 2020, it was already fitted with the body coloured aero kit, R95’s finished in gloss black and JCW brakes with braided lines. Matt has sought and fitted the remainder of the parts into the car. All parts are OEM, and some very rare! In late 2020, Matt requested the plate S210 BHP be put in to auction by DVLA. Luckily the bidding action wasn’t that bad, and now the plate finishes off the car nicely.
