wow. well, everyone has their own "personality" with the minis. id say, google it a bunch, check images and such, make a list of mods you want. some will take more time and $$ of course, and some you cant do until others are done, just like any other project.

if you want a short and sweet list, heres a start:

performance: Pulley, air filter, intake tube.
looks exterior: splitter, vinyl wrap stuff (like light rings, light tint, graphics), and maybe paint your rims (or get new ones)? and spoiler? (someones selling a nice JCW right now!)
looks interior: more vinyl, gauges, de-badging, shift ****!

I really like the lightning bolt bonnet graphics on the blue. But it all depends on your tastes.

I'd say your first move would to be get a hood scoop, it appears that you're missing yours!
