New alloys look good
Suggest getting Cooper S sideskirts.
They are a easy/simple/nice mod and look the dogs IMHO!

Defo on the cooper s side skirts, i picked mine up at a scrapyard and they are perfect!!

it is very rare to see a mini with wheel trims.

New wheels look so much better! Good Job!

Those wheel trims were not just wheel trims, but possibly the most unattractive wheel trims on any car - ever! Even the R56 ONE's steel wheels look better those! Big improvement with the alloys!

A huge improvement.

Plastic wheel trims always makes a MINI look like a contract hire car for someone who just doesn't care what s/he is driving!


May '04 - Feb '07 R50, Feb '07 - May '10 R53. Enjoyed our time with MINI's, but ran out of space! Now Focus RS & Land Rover powered...
