Mini Lovers - What can i do to make my car look as good as some of yours?

Yo everyone, The last few months have been a bit touch and go with the credit crunch; and with me having high interests in property, my income was about as stable as a highrise in Haiti, but things have got better now so basically looking to spend a pretty penny to improve the look of my mini so here are some pictures below, can any of you mini lovers throw any ideas my way?

Personally to start I would remove the spot lamps and get some clear indicator bulbs to remove the horrible orange from the sidelights.

Then I would look at getting a pair of aero skirts and colour-coding the arches.

Get hold of some facelift xenon headlamps and joey-mod them. Have the side vents painted black.

Look at getting some different wheels.

Wheels would be my first choice, though thats just me. Along with the indicator bulbs (huge difference for small coin)

Depends how much you want/willing to spend as what Whitey has mentioned will make a massive difference. Though it is a personal taste in what you prefer...

this is the man who has '285 bhp'
he doesnt need engine mods.

aero side skirts, m7 splitter, fly eye'd head lights would be a good start.

p.s. stop starting threads with 'mini lovers' we are gay enough as is

Get some new wheels. S-spokes fail on looks and weight
