It's pricey, but have you considered the JCW Aero kit?

Are you looking to mod just to mod? Everyone's taste is different so asking for advice on aesthetic mods isn't really going to get you anything but some people's personal opinions.

Me personally, I hate things that clutter the car up or look odd. I want things to flow and look factory. So if you MUST do more exterior mods, I'd say the aero kit and nothing else.

Mods that look gaudy or add extra shapes and angles to the body that don't serve a purpose make no sense to me. If it's a driver and not a track car, things like the GP wing or a splitter do nothing but make the car look busy and honestly, to me, like a teenager trying to make it look like it's trying to LOOK like a race car when we know it's not.

LOL well put


I love the aero front just pricey to pull the trigger on it. as far as the GP rep wing i love the way it flows with the car. im trying to keep my car clean but slightly stand out compared to just another mini. ( hope that makes sense)

Pretty straight forward but takes several hours if you take off the front bumper, which I did to install a Helix FMIC at same time. Some people have figured out a way not to remove bumper and say it takes considerably less time.

That's what I mean man, it's all personal preference. Do with it what you like no matter what our opinions are :P

It's called personalization. As long as you like the looks who cares what other people think.
