stainless wheel arch trim, lose either the bonnet stripes or the roof decal - looks too much with both. Replace the black boot turnbuckle with a stainless one, loose the Mini badge or fit a retro one, colour code the licennce plate lamp cover or replace with a chrome one, polish the black off the wiper arms, fit some nice 12" alloys - Minilites are the most common choice so should be plenty about. But you can get Cosmics, Revolutions and all sorts in a 12" on a 4" PCD so look around before going with the obvious. If you go for Minilites I'd paint the spokes white and have a polished rim. Looks neat on a red car with a white roof. Then the motor needs to be a 1275 if it isn't already, Stage 3 head, Piper cam, LCB, Peco 'zorst, big SU, K&N, etc. Its an old formula but it does the trick. Job done really. Tidy looking ride by the way  |

I've seen you about, I recognise the window sticker ;D
Wheels definately, or moon discs. Colour coded arch extensions. Take stripes from bonnet. Shave aerial/badges. There's always more, but it's your car! get creative.

Agreed with Lewis.
Take all the stickers off, give it a 4" roof chop, deseam it, give it a Cadillac Northstar between the rear wheels, paint it satin black with purple scallops and roll on mini moons.

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

lose the sticker in the rear window. also the union jack.
get a set of 10x6 mambas in black, and do all the chrome (and the bonnet stripes) in black.
if it really was me i'd change the colour altogether, but I'm guessing you want a slightly more practical opinion

Nice lil motor there Rob! ;D
Gold 6x12s colour coded stock arches (barely covering the 6x12s, would look great!) lowered a tad, stock MG Metro engine with Maniflow LCB (smaller headers for better gas flow) and exhaust, side exit not centre though, atypical cone filter and uprated needle, might not sound that impressive but that same spec is enough to get my own Mini from rest to 60 in 8.2 secs, not half bad!
Definitely no clear taillights though!!!
Spax dampers all round, with adjustable suspension trumpets, sorted! ;D
