Hi all, new member from Edinburgh (well just outside) . I've had a 2017 Clubman SD for about 2 years and swapping it tomorrow for a 2019 F55 Cooper S. Pretty excited and hoping to feel a difference from the shorter wheel base and petrol engine. Haven't been able to test drive it due to the lockdown and having to drive to Manchester to pick it up anyway.

I've got £1500 put aside for modification but I've never done any mods to a car before so unsure how to best spend the money. Car will be a daily driver and don't want it to look or sound to "boy racer"! Initial thoughts are:
  • De chrome - belt line, door handles, petrol cap, badges and lettering, chrome strip on the front grill
  • Lowering springs and possibly upgrading to 18" wheels (think i'll lower first as seems to be recommendation)
  • Race chip


Any other suggestions as to how best spend the money?
