I was going to flog it. in fact I did but the guy buying it had got to wait for months before he can complete ont he deal, after leaving me a deposit. So I'm keeping it.

As such, does anyone know of any other aftermarket things I can do to it to make it a little more unique. I saw a photo of a mini in San Fransisco that looked v cool (indi blu, black stripes and black roof, with big titanium coloured wheels. looked FAB!!!!

Anyway, when I ordered my car I wanted my mini to have black bonnett stripes with the white edging, because its on an indi blue car (with black roof) and and they show up better.I ended up getting plain black, with bloody creases on them!!!!!! :mad:

ANyway, I digress. Inspiration is needed. Maybe a fruity exhaust or an air filter or some bigger wheels.

And does anyone know where I can get black stripes with white edges. aftermarket or not.

oh no, I had lots of interest. also lots of :bad::bad::bad::bad::bad::bad::bad::bad: tyrekickers who couldnt afford it (why do they bother then?)

But I was going up the road in it and I had trouble thinking what another Elise or Alfa Spider would give me that the mini doesnt (besides performance etc) and it aint alot. plus the heartache and unreliability.

So, bigger wheels..... bonnet stripes (where can I get the ones with the white edge and the john cooper signature) fruity exhaust and an ITG, Hurricane or K&N airfilter.
