I’d go Atomspeed scoop, Blackline headlights, black light rings, LED sidelights, and black grill surrounds.
Mine is an R53 GP but you’ll get part of the idea from this pic.

Black grille surround makes a big difference imo. You do get some quite nice splitters for the standard mini bumper. I'm contemplating making my own splitter for a Jcw bumper

And like Pete said either a taller scoop leap or atomspeed or even just a contrasting scooper black/carbon fibre

The JCW bumper would probably be the biggest difference, that plus de-chromed grille as mentioned above.

IMHO I don't think the UJ mirror caps help an 'aggressive' look. Nothing wrong with them as such, but I don't think they fit the look you appear to be going for.

Also don't underestimate the difference a drop in ride height can make - lower equals meaner, normally

Well I like it either way..

Best thing about minis is get bored change it...

Unique is best.. saves the wife looking the mini in the car park...

She would still need a 14 foot mast on the roof to find where she has parked it...

Be wary of painting the chrome headlight rings, but not the inside of the lights. Some like it, but I always think black rings on standard headlights look daft. Have a look on Google Images, as there's a ton of inspiration out there.

The inside of the headlights look better either black or body colour IMO. This pic has been shamelessly stolen from another site, and the car features an extra splitter on the JCW bumper; however the chrome headlight rings don't look out of place IMO

Yeah like Gordon I'm not a massive fan of painting the light rings can make the car look a bit panda like. If you have Instagram Sam rigby (fun54m) used to own a really stunning chilli Red r56 now owned by (lersy)
