First I'd say edit your title before the modrators wake up
Then you could do custom/aftermarkrt exauhst, boot stripes, tint, window vynl,white tail lights, aero kit, salt, pepper, thyme, oregeno swap up to new or S bumoers the possisbilities are endless! hop this starts those creative wheels!

Definitely needs some black to tie into the rest of the car.
Also consider the aero kit rear bumper, with mesh inserts to match your front lower grille.
And please edit the thread title!

well, they make a chrome license plate insert.. not the chrome bar for the top.. but the entire insert for the indented area by the plate itself. dont have one yet myself, but ive seen pics and it looks great. that and the boot stripes.. your car looks great

I'd start with bringing your stripes from the bonnett down the rear (including the bumper), and then bring them down the front end to also include the bumper. It would tie the front and rear together visually, and as some of the posters have shown, stripes continued on the bumpers really add to the look.
Let me hasten to add your car looks really good, you're off to a great start!

Besides stripes and decals. A license plate frame helps as well as special tags. It doesn't have to be personalized. Sometimes a state will have a tag that blends with your car. I chose my tag because of the black roof and red tail lights. The black and red blend with the tag along with the chrome frame, imo.

Lose the "Cooper" badge. And the tailights dont fit with your color scheme, I would go clear. Hard to tell what antenna you have but it looks stock. Get a low profile stubby, in black or silver. Its a little change but streamlines your butt a little.

the real stripes are not a bad idea at all. who would be a good company to order them from?
The reason I dont want to do anything like putting in new Euro lights or kit of that sort is because there is a chance I will sell this car
for an 06 S Convertible so I just wanna do something in the $100-200 range to just give her butt some spice 
thanks for the all suggestions so far.
Only sites that I really know of to get stuff is Minimania and outmotoring....and thats it
thanks for all the tips so far and the COMPLEMENTS!
btw, did the mods end up changing the title or did I? I tried to change it, thanks to the 1st commenter
but I dont know if I did it right or not

I think, given the look you've chosen for you MINI, rear stripes are the logical next step. I also agree with those who have mentioned de-badging the rear, but I'd only suggest this if A) you want to, or B) if the badge interferes w/ correct (to your eye) rear stripe placement. The stripes need to go where they look right...hang the badge. You'd have to remove the badge anyway to get the stipes on right...might as well as forego reattaching it unless you want to.

Hmm, if you get stripes you may want to go custom so they match the ones on your bonnet. If you order the stock ones from most places I think they splay out like you see in the above photos, and those go with the OEM placement of the bonnet stripes. Any sign shop can provide and likely cut the vinyl for you, then they can be put on to mimic the bonnet.
Mini Pirate also has some cool graphics that go to the side of the hatch in the back as I recall, also might have a window graphic to spice it up (?)
