Mod Advice Needed

Alright, so here's Stella. 2003 MINI Cooper. Just over 60,000 miles. 5sp. ect. I'm looking into doing more mods to her. Anyone have any ideas other than the few i stated below? Here's a few pictures of her. Take a gander and tell me whatcha' think.

Current mods: Checkered mirrors, checkered a-panels, checkered door hole inserts, checkered steering wheel insert, checkered shifter ****, S style spoiler, 16 inch MINI rims, front badge holder, rear double badge holder, stubby antenna, aux input and air fresheners... lmao. but seriously, any ideas?

Future definite mods: DDM intake, megan exhaust, blacking out slots in grille, removing front license plate holder (adding bumper plugs).

Intake and exhaust are great for performance. Don't forget a 19mm rearswaybar for handling, that's the best for your suspension.

Your other mods are all just personalization, if you like em go for it.

Also the Auto up window switch is GREAT, and useful.

That is all a good start, and money well spent. After that you can move onto the smaller gain stuff.

Way! I heard you took on TSW?! You and I are gonna have many, many deals together. Lol. I plan on getting the DDM&Megan from you in a few weeks. I'm sure all my other performance parts will be coming from you also. All I hear is nothing but great things from you, and I'm looking to doing business with ya'.
