Anybody got their Fxx Cooper S mapped?

Hi

I have an F54, just over 3 years old and WBAC are offering me slightly more than I have to pay off the finance so even assuming they drop me a bit, I can easily pay off the finance and break even.

So at the moment, I am working out what to do as really I want more power. I love the car, it does exactly what we need as a family (dog in boot, car seat in rear, roof box on top for camping etc) but I feel I am at a point now where I want more power.

The question I have is sell up and buy something new (Golf R, Leon Cupra, M135i) or just get the Mini mapped. A new car is a risk as I have the drama of finding one in the spec I want and I know the history of the Mini as I have looked after it since brand new.

JF Automotive are near me and have a good reputation.

Long story short, has anybody Stage 1 mapped their Cooper S Fxx series?

Did it transform the car?
Any issues with the standard clutch? Mine is a manual
Any issues with the map/engine?

Haven't got an F series, but my R56 Cooper SD remap was the best thing I could have done.

Went from around 143bhp to just under 200. Made a massive difference.

When I finally change, and it may be to an F56 S, first thing I'd do is book in for a remap without hesitation.

I guess it depends on where you are but I would be looking at Evolve or Lohen.
