Well take a look at mine as I think I spent about £2,500 getting tango to look that good.

Aerokit (the classiest body kit you can get for the MINI)

X-lites (my favs but any 16"s as they ride the best and what the MINI was designed to run on)

Metallic paint (would not have black as its a nightmare to keep clean and Cool Blue on a cloudy day looks grey!) - for me it would have to be Hot Orange although I have heard that Hyper Blue is going out across the range for next year - if you can wait that long!

Colour coded dash - brings the colour from the outside into the car in a classy way. Only downside is it will limit the number of colours you can choose from as its not available in all colours

Heated seats (a must for those chilly winter/night drives)

Sports seats in fabric - improves the look of the interior and without the leather you are not going to loose the skin off the back of your legs on those hot summer days when you climb into the car after the roof has been down wearing shorts!

salt pack (gives you loads of little bits)

TLC


plus your on the road costs and that just about is your budget spent!
