As we all know, there are special cars that require out-of-the-line maintenance. This is the case of this splendid example of Mini John Cooper Works in its maximum version, GP!

We didn't intervene in a radical way because the car, perfectly original, does not require any modifications. But it requires the right care, so we re-calibrated the suspension, bringing it back to its original agility and effectiveness and we fitted it with a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires which significantly optimized road holding.

We also worked on the braking system, replacing discs and pads with products more suitable for sporting use, in particular with the evergreen Brembo-Ferodo DS Performance combo.

Finally, we have solved the problems related to the water tanks and power steering which unfortunately, on these models, tend to suffer and fail in the long run. No problem though, new and more resistant trays have found space in their place!
