Ok. The minis due to have some work done. The exhaust is too loud! I've been doing up my corrado recently and have been taking the less is more approach and been wondering how I could clean the mini up a bit. So heres my master plan. Remove all badges, stripes, union jack roof, spotlights, roof spoiler and anything else that stands out. Fit a new clio 197 rear diffuser (has been measured up and it fits almost perfectly with our bumper) ,a set of coilovers and maybe porsche wheels.

Please let me know what you think and be as ruthless as you like.

With that body kit and those lights I can't see how you'll ever achieve a "less is more" look to be honest.

I would not take off the MINI badge or the wing mirrors (surely wouldent pass an MOT?) if you want less is more change the wheels andbody kit only way i can see to do it and oh the graffics. Keep the wheels on a porche where they belong.

Why would you take off the wing mirrors? Stupid thing to do, and as has been said, your car wouldnt be road legal.

Swap the wing mirrors for some of those jap style ones if you want 'less'

I have seen a MCS with Porsche wheels before. Wasnt really impressed. Still dont like them.

I like the rear diffuser.

Cant stand those rear lights. I think they are too much clutter normally, but if oyu are going for a clean look they look even worse. You need something with clear rear lenses to help blend in. Those LED ones you have put on probably do the job. Be cooler if oyu could get the insides body colour, rather than black.

Change the grill for the aero grill. Its overall a smother look and more subtle.

prefer the car as it is now

may opt for losing the spotlights but other than that looks fine

what you have is a one-off mini (granted not to everyones tastes) but then where would we be if everyone went for OEM parts or tame modding - 5hit Avenue thats where

Give the royal finger to those that hate and dont go too illegal with the car
