one thing i noticed lately i spend more money on the exteriro than anything else. Painted the roof to HB when i got my Aero Kit, got color matching mirrors, running on the 4th set of wheels (but lost money on only 1 set of them).

The best mod i did interiorwise was the XM radio.

I do not like stripes at all, one solid color, looks ver aggressive than cute.

Well, what is my point? I dunno

Get a set of nice looking wheels, it will change the whole pic outside.

Triple C has a chrome sale going on. Chrome something out! And no doubt there is nothing cheap on these MINIs.

Check out Minimania or Moss MINI and look under there interior and exterior styling sections, I'm sure something will pop out at you.

This link ddeals with Blacking outthe chrome surround. It is about a $20 dollar modand depending on the color of the car goes well with tinted windows.
