Me and my fiancee picked up our Mini on Friday night.
It's a 54 Cooper in red with white roof, wheels and bonnet stripes, chilli pack, red/black half leather and has 8.5k miles on the clock. Really chuffed with it and makes a nice addition to the drive :D

So now it needs a few things to brighten it up. I was thinking of getting the rear windows tinted a little, the shark fin style side vents and white repeaters and a Cooper S fuel cap.
Any suggestions where to get stuff from? I've seen the fuel caps on ebay, has anyone bought one and are they ok?

Looks good, on a side note, if you ever get a ding or bump on your bumpers ive got bumpers, chilli red, cooper chilli pack from my may 2005 cooper, taken off in august 2005 for aero kit :p

You could also get chrome covers for the grilles at the windscreen?

Oh I know all about the modding bug with my Elise. So far on it, I've changed the exhaust, braided steel brake hoses, fitted adjustable dampers and stiffer springs and bought a set of lighter and wider O.Z. alloys with sticky tyres for track use. So much for keeping it standard :p

Won't be doing much to the Mini, just the things I've already mentioned really.
