If you're talking about appearence, I always think the rims/wheels give major different look to any car. When two exact model park next to each other, the one with custom wheels will stand out better. Of course, if the OEM wheel is good looking already, then that's different story. Anyway, I will go for a wheel change, that's what I did, I even bought the wheels even before my MCS was delivered.

I also have CR/W with white bonnet stripes, white wheels and wing mirrors....I also have a bloody great big union jack on the roof - thoroughly recommend it if you want strange looks in a foreign land!!

well firstly id go get it resprayed black

ok id go for a full red look - change the roof and mirrors and go for a clean look
get it slammed on some nice rims none mini ideally
color code arches and tint the windows the lowest tint you can
aero kit it too
then it will look the nuts

like mine but in red

too many white n red cooper/cooper s's

Don't give the idea to everyone

Paint work is a good idea, totally changes the look of the car.

Or you could change the wheels, put on spotlights, all sorts of different decals etc

But if you get it colour coded there is no need for the areo kit
