Suggestions welcome...

[Just Jade]

Had my Cooper S for just over a week now. Would like to stamp my mark on her but undecided what to do. I dont want to go OTT, just a few wee tweeks to make her stand out a bit! :)

Here she is atm .....

What about orange vipers and mirror caps ? I think that would look cool seen one to day in dark silver with a dark thick strip and orange pin strips both sides with orange mirror caps and it looked realy good :-)

Try Mr A's gallery it has the joey mod lights and wrapped the car chrome light surrounds. I like the car as is although I might get a small car Aerial as its on top of the screen.

GCA3N is the one.

This pic also shows it.

It was pics of Ryan's lights that I was sending to Colin, I fancy smoked lights with black surrounds?

Colin sent me these to see what I thought....................

Wow I really like that !! Thanks I'll go take a look at his gallery ;)

If you do darken out your lights be mindful to ensure the rear lights are safe. Came across a car in Montrose a few months back and struggled to see his brake lights. Thought to myself the guy was just an accident waiting to happen. One problem I think I can see with the darkened out look is the fact that every boyracer and his granny is going for the same look so that you could end up looking like one of the crowd instead of being individual.
Stoney's idea sounds cool or you could go with a red and blue gulf stripes. Saw that somewhere and it looked terrific.

Yup look at Ryan's GP. For some reason they just ain't done as often

You should have a look at the gallery on Mini Designs as they have loads of different looking Mini's on there including a few of our own, Fi's, Emma's and Dougall himself are all on there!

Thanks Sheilz, I know what your saying about the boyracer look. l sometimes used to think I had ruined the look of my last mini by making the wrong changes in an effort to make it stand out :( I'm going to have to keep this one for a few years, so I want to make sure I make the right choices this time!

Don't get those lights Jade...!

I had them on my car and the chrome pitted within about 6 months. Very bad quality. They were also fogging up from letting in water.. Plus I wouldn't buy from "that" company, they have shocking customer service... :argh:

[Just Jade]

Thanks for the warning Craig ;) I'm itching to do 'something' to make my car a bit different, just haven't got a clue where to start tbh .......
