this is my new r56 one abso loving the new engine, and still breaking it in! had the old 1.6 model and prefer this! Have checkered the roof and wing mirror caps since i got it and have some plans. first on the list has to be bigger alloys, am thinking of a set of17inch works GP wheels! then after that i just want to change the exhaust for something a little noisier, not boy racer but i think the pipe they put on the one ruins the whole look!

I do like the chequers..

But I wish they would do something about those HUGE orange indicators in the lights. they are the ONLY thing I dont like about the new design mini.

17" Flame spokes are the way to go.

Take a look at my MINI One here to see what you think:

Clear indicator lenses make a big difference alright!

That looks fab, I'm liking the spotlights

I too love the new engine, I can't wait for mine to be run in.... I've already done 600 miles in 2 weeks .. not much longer to go

Replica GP alloys would imo, suit it really well... I'm not sure on how easy they would be to fit though as a friend of mine didn't manage to get them onto his R56 Cooper... due to the stud diameter differences between the first and second generation MINI's.

Whichever rims you choose though, enjoy the new car
