Any ideas for my ONE?

Here's my ONE,
I have added new side repeaters (clear) as well as carbon look side vents, carbon wing mirrors and carbon boot handle o and that Cooper exhaust tip. Also the vinyl graphics....
Any more ideas that could improve the look of my car without spending thousands as I plan to swap it for a new Cooper at the end of the year.... If they're on time.
I appreciate your thoughts

If you have already decided to change the car in a little over three months what is the point in spending ANY money on it?

Wouldn't you be better off saving the cash to mod the new Cooper?

MINI have already taken orders for delivery on the 18th November

I agree with Scrogg if you are going to change it seems like a waste of money to put stuff on it for 3 months.

I do kind of agree....
any relatively inexpensive mods that would make a huge difference?

Yes, your car is Chili Red.

You can buy colour-coded grilles, but as you are only going to have the car for another few months your best bet would be to get an independent bodyshop to paint your current one.

Just remember that any money you spend on the current car will be lost when you trade it in for the new one and, as Ollymale has already said, if you get your skates on and get one ordered you'll have it for November 18th!

I already have a new Cooper ordered... put my name down at the end of July and have been told I am one of the first to my dealer and can expect November delievery.Pretty excited about it... Although apparently I can finally spec it up next month which will be fun. I want a pepper white with black roof n mirrors i think with black R90's. bring it on.

You can spec it up now. BMW released all the details of colours/trims/options/prices on Friday and can 'properly' order cars from then.

If you wait until next month you almost certainly won't get it in November!

I agree with Sel.... if you really want to spend a little more although your changing would be to get a short stubby ariel. They are better looking IMO and you can always remove that and put it on your new one when you get it

Where did you get the Carbon look side vents and how much? Can you take a closer piccy of them for me plz??

Nice car tho!

Time is money when your selling clocks!
