Hi the same as this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2_kwj-cVYuQ.html

Hi thanks for watching, I drilled out each of the spot welds, see this video for a similar method I used on my r56 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2_kwj-cVYuQ.html

Hi do you mean the trim I painted green? If so it’s plastic welded to the panel so you have to drill out the plastic welds. Paint then put back in place with adhesive, see this video Mini R56 R55 R53 How to remove the painted door card trim? FAQ Instructions 2001-2018 Cooper S ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2_kwj-cVYuQ.html as it’s similar for the r56/r55

Maybe aftermarket speakers?

Removed by drilling out the plastic rivets

Do you have a video for this, I'm looking to spray the door trim circles. Thanks for this!

Hi it’s very similar to the r56: Mini R56 R55 R53 How to remove the painted door card trim? FAQ Instructions 2001-2018 Cooper S ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2_kwj-cVYuQ.html

Glad it was helpful!

Exactly the same.

Yes

If people want to retrim or replace it etc. good to cover that in the same video

Not seen a retro fit done before. Can’t imagine it’s that bad but not seen a kit

Hi they are from Orranje Performance

Unfortunately not. Very similar to this I did for my r56, it’s plastic weld on so you have to drill it off from behind: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2_kwj-cVYuQ.html

@@tweedbean oh ☹️ thank you Beautiful Mini

The arm rest? It can be tricky the first time it ever comes off

@@tweedbean Yes. I feel like an idiot because it looks so easy but I spent a good 10 minutes fiddling it to relase.

i’m in the same boat, is there any other way to take it off? i’m trying to stick a knife in behind it but it’s literally doing nothing

@@gizabitadah I just spent an hour fighting with it and it suddenly clicked. Don't be aggressive so as not to break thr clip

Hi thanks for watching, taste is all down to personal opinion and I couldn’t be happier with the R53 interior. If you don’t like it, fair enough.

Orranje Performance 👍🏼. They are made by Rennline

For anyone wanting to change their speakers/upgrade door cards/fix door locks/get to window mechanism etc they need to be able to remove the door cards, this shows you how

Sorry to hear that, they can sometimes be very stubborn
