So I am sitting here a couple days before christmas and I am just pondering what can I do to my mini to make it feel like more of my own vehicle. I was hoping some people could suggest to me some realatively low priced exterior or interior mods that I could do during my christmas break?

thanks

Vik

You could have a sign shop make you custom vinyl bonnet stripes. I did my bonnet stripes that way and it cost $30 for the material and $45 for the installation.

You could put a Porsche whale tail on it.

How-a-bout a mascott? Find something that fits your personality and then find the figurine to fit on your dash. I picked Stich. His eyes kind of look like the MINI.

Vik,
Maybe not the least expensive but worth recommending-
Whalen shift ****! You can engrave your favorite logo or text for a little more.

Window tinting!

Other small interior upgrades-
Broadway wideview mirror 270mm flat
glove box organizer
Center console organizer
Shoulder seat belt pad

Other small exterior upgrades-
Fog light/rear brake light mod-kit or paperclip/wire jumper
tire valve caps
shorty antennae-from Honda S2000 or Element ($25)
Rear tailight Laminex tint- see Rspeed
