What budget are you looking at, what's your style, do you like chrome, decals, "sporty", "classic"... Just trying to help you fire other people's imaginations.

love crome hate decals i like subtle stuff bit classic not one for big spoilers and wheels budget is open ended if somthing is expensive ill just save for it

also not one for bodykits i like the shape of the mini as it it
the only mod i paid for when buying was the spotlights

spec is
06 mcs
dark silver
black roof
black wing mirrors
chilli pack
front spots
17" wheels
blacked out glass
heated wing mirrors

hope this helps

Or..... a carbon front scoop with a ZIP roof decal. that'll look pretty mint. You don't see many zip roofs.

How about modifying the engine for performance rather than exterior?

If not - you can get a set of Aero Grilles for about £50 ~ £60 for starters.

You could always fit a Chrome Badgebar for next to nothing

Yeah i like the idea of the JCW engine upgrade but as im only running 17'' wheels the dealer told me that if i did fit it , it was recommended i also fit bigger brakes which wouldnt fit with the current wheel size and i would have to change up??????????

love the crome bar where can i get one??
