Bought my first mini, and actually my first car 3 days ago, and i love her!
Here she is, nothing has been changed at the moment, need to get the speedo sorted, but other than that no problems!

Any Suggestions to what would look good on her? (interior mods/ changes)
As it looks quite boring at the moment!

Here we are!

Good lad.

If it was me I'd lose the bonnet stripes, numbers on doors and red grille first.

nice base to start with Good on you for getting a mini :D , depends how much cash you've got and what you eventually want to do with it,

To start off i'd probably change the grill,
2 spots instead of 4
Lose the number and bonnet stripes and maybe group 2/ wood and pickett arches & a set of mini lights/ultralites

interior wise :
Steering wheel change
and dash board for now can always tinker with it later on :P

Well I actually liked the outside how it was, but that's probably just because I'm a younger mini fan haha

Nice mini! Just bear in mind that due to your age, take it easy with the mods as insurance will rocket sky high if you're not careful unfortunately :/

I like the racing/rally style. Depends how much you want to spend. If you don't fancy changing the arches you could always paint them them body coloured. The grilles different, I like it. Just don't rush into doing anything as you may soon regret it. Just take your time

Personally, I like the grille, and if you want other things to do to it, change the wheels to some alloys and change the dashboard :) subtle changes but make a big difference :)

Yeh I like the grille aswell. Makes a change from chrome ones. Bit like the Italian Job ones are

Haha, thanks for te suggestions, defiantly will get a dashboard an maybe a chrome set of handles for the inside ect, about wheel arches and that, what's the process of getting the wheels to stick out a bit, I love that look on a mini.

Just be careful on the size. Might need to trim your wings a bit or else they catch

Thanks, need to work out how to do it first, is it just simply wider wheels. Then get bigger arches?
