I reckon you have it looking pretty good now. It had a little too much going on before, visually. Now its much simpler. Looks good.
All I would do is swap the mirrors. Not to something necessarily chrome.the stock ones are just a bit cheap looking. So find another style you like. Seeing as you are going for a slight racer style, but its not MK1 style .you could go for the small carbon race style mirrors. Or if you like that look, but are on a tight budget get some second hand motorbike mirrors. I reckon black would look good.

Keep the 12s.... It will save you money form converting, plus you wont look like every other mini on 10s.
You could paint them silver if you like. But Personally, I like them white.
Maybe lower it a bit once you have the money.

Overall, I reckon its looking very nice now.

You must have had a dodgy earth on one of your indicators. Did you go for amber or clear lenses? Clear are my choice.

Cheers for the comments I have always liked the smaller mirrors might try them see what they look like, hopefully get the lowering kit on October 15th maybe earlier if I sell my moped, I went for amber for now to see what those look might try clear lenses

I'm in Fishponds but work in town, sometimes i think i'm becoming a stalker because i've started to memorise where all the minis are
