My Mean MINI

This is my MINI Cooper Marvin It started life as a bog standard MINI owned by a little old biddy who never drove it. Since then I have spent my hard earned cash and a fair few hours on my pride and joy Here is my spec:

Stubby aerial
Aero Grille
Dropped by 30mm on Eibach springs
Black belt line kit
Joey mod style headlights
Black door and boot handles
PlayMini cat-back exhaust
Cooper S spoiler
Red and Black Viper stripes and door stripes
Team Dynamics 17" Monza RS wheels
Tinted rear headlights
Tinted rear windows
Painted break callipers red

There's a couple of things left to do if I get round to it. Handling wise I would like strut braces and poly bushes fitted to really tighten the car up. Performance wise I am currently saving up for a Janspeed manifold and K&N induction kit. After that I may get a re-map or invest in a Bluefin Superchip.

Thanks

Dan

Cool, I mean it looks mean if you see what I mean, but I can still see a little bit of chrome showing in the centre of the wheel and the rear Cooper badge, next job?

Looks like a clean car, not sure on the rear tinted lights but the black and red works well together.
