So... as most of you know the JCW factory upgrade brake calipers for 1st. gen. MINIs were stock calipers for the 2nd. gen. MCS. This has prompted many of us 1st. gen. owners to seek out R56 MCS Front brake calipers to do an upgrade on our own. Coincidently these R56 "S" calipers will bolt right on to the the R53 with the brake lines and new rotors being the only major changes you need to make. I recently acquired a front set of 2010 MCS calipers and lines for a steal and went about turning them into the " real deal " JCW calipers for my 2004 JCW MCS. Posted a pic below. Simply purchased high temp. red caliper paint and some original JCW caliper stickers from a site on Ebay UK and a can of high temp clear coat for a finish. After I pick up rotors and new pads I will have approx. $475 and a little time painting invested in these. What do you think ?
