The Ultimate MINI Cooper F56 & F57 Widebody Conversion for the Lci2
Building the ultimate modern MINI Cooper requires a stance that matches its go-kart handling heritage. To truly elevate
the platform, a widebody conversion is essential.
At VAD Design, we offer the industry’s highest-rated and most visually striking widebody kits for the F56 Hatch and F57 Convertible.
Our styling is the definitive choice for premium builds worldwide, chosen by the creators behind the most iconic, virally featured
Minis on social media.
Engineered Excellence vs. Standard Kits
When investing in a widebody conversion, it is crucial to recognise that not all kits are created equal.
Many aftermarket options lack rigorous research and development, resulting in poor fitment and substandard materials.
VAD Design kits are meticulously engineered in the UK from premium-grade Glass Reinforced Plastic (RP).
Delivered in a matte black gel coat, they provide an exceptional foundation for your body shop to prime, prep
and paint-match to your exact specifications.
Aerodynamics, Stance, and Performance
Beyond transforming your MINI into a unique, head-turning street machine, our kit is engineered with aerodynamics and
mechanical grip in mind. By extending the vehicle's track, you significantly increase the tyre's contact patch with the road.
This translates directly to heightened cornering confidence, reduced understeer, and superior traction to effectively put your engine's horsepower and torque down to the tarmac.
Unprecedented Tyre Fitment
Factory F56 and JCW models are notoriously limited by narrow factory tyre specifications.
Even aggressive aftermarket wheels on a stock body cannot match the footprint enabled by our conversion.
A standard VAD Design wide body setup accommodates a massive 255/35R18 front tyre paired with a
ground-breaking 265/35R18 rear tyre.
Turnkey Build Packages
We provide comprehensive, end-to-end turnkey packages to take the guesswork out of your build.
A complete VAD Design conversion includes:
Precision-Engineered Fender Flares: Seamless integration with the factory lines.
Custom Lightweight Wheels: Specially tailored 18x9.5" fronts and ultra-wide 18x10.5" rears to maximise track width.
Track-Focused Options: For dedicated motorsport builds, we offer custom lightweight 18x9" wheel configurations to
minimise unsprung mass.
Performance Tyres: Premium rubber selected to deliver ultimate grip and handling response.
Ordering and Compatibility
Vehicle Fitment: This kit is fully compatible with both the F56 Three-Door Hatch and F57 Convertible models.
Due to the precision nature of high-end composites and the adjustments required for wide-wheel fitment, professional installation
is strongly recommended.
Do not settle for sub-standard alternatives. Contact the VAD Design team today via phone or email to discuss your build goals
and secure your bespoke conversion kit.
