Planning on getting one for mine.
- Some 10" (or 12" if you dont want to change down) Rose Petals as Artful Dodger said. Getting them in 10's soon
- Mk2 rear lamps with maybe a vintage style reversing light tucked up neatly under the rear bumper?
- Seen on some Jap Minis, a little high level brake lamp that fits on a bracket but looks really period, I'll try and find a pic as it's what I'm planning to do to mine also.
- Mk1/2 bootlid?
- Some nice tan leather bonnet straps would suit your Minis colour
- Classic bucket seats, Cobra have brought out a new range in the new issue of the Mini mag that look lovely
- Amber indicators
- A roof rack if you want a rally look
- Older style bonnet badges, Morris Cooper ones would suit yours I reckon
- Maybe a bonnet numberplate, obviously in the legal colours. Planning on doing that to mine at some point too lol

Well then you are stuck 8) I think a mk2 retro look will be cool, and mean you could keep the grill:P
I think 10' rose petal wheels, archless and a mk2 (mk1) boot lid. Maybe even the badges as well!
Or mark 3 boot with mark 1/2 plate holder and light on the hinge's ;] give that very early mk3 look

I've got Mk2/3 lights on the rear to complete the retro look.

Arches are Wood & Picket from Wood and Picket. The bonnet badge is the standard Mk3 one.

You should be able to pick one up at a show or on Ebay for a lot less than the one above.
