TRiX Carbon Fibre Wide Arch Fender Flares for Gen 2 & Gen 3 Mini Cooper ONE, S, JCW, GP, Paceman & Countryman
Suitable for: R55 R56 R57 R58 R59 R60 R61 F56 F57
Welcome to the listing for our TRiX Genuine Carbon Fibre R56 and F56 fender
flares. These are 100% Genuine Carbon Fibre and no the cheaper carbon fibre
effect. Fitting wide wheels to the Gen2 and 3 Mini results in a massive grip
improvement, but due to the size of the car, 9 inch and wider wheels struggle
to fit under the Standard arches. Even when using wheel spacers to widen the
track, anything more than 20mm usually results in the tyre rubbing the arches.
We wanted a better stance and a wider track on our demo car, so we decided to
make these arches in Carbon fibre. The fronts are 45mm wider and the rears 55mm
wider that OEM arches which allow a wider wheel and/spacers to be fitted.
The result is better grip and faster lap times due to a more planted stance on
the road, a wider track and the ability to run wider tyres.
The genuine carbon fibre also completely transforms the look of the car, giving
it a much more aggressive look, and making your car stand out from the others.
These arches are originally made for the Gen 3 F series Minis, but we
have had a lot of success fitting these on the Gen 2 R56 as the arches follow
the same profile.
WE ONLY RECOMMEND
HUBCENTRIC WHEEL SPACERS FOR SAFETY. WE HAVE THESE AVAILABLE IN OUR SHOP, 10MM
20MM AND 50MM, SO BE SURE TO CHECK OUR OTHER ITEMS.

Fitting instructions
These parts are all direct replacements for the OEM
parts. The original arches will need to be removed, and the metal fender and
rear quarter will either need to be trimmed down or rolled (a lot) to allow for
the wider arches. The arches will need to be either bolted on or bonded on.
This is a bespoke item and is not easy to fit. A
fair amount of work will be needed to get them to fit correctly. They don’t
just clip into place. It will require drilling the mounting points, plenty of
measuring and a lot of patience if you decide to take it on yourself. However
with a bit of time and common sense, it is a job anyone can do if you have the
right tools.
Unless you are good with bodywork, we recommend professional installation. If
you are handy with basic tools, then it is more than possible to fit this wide
arch kit.
