I don't really understand what you are looking for. At first I thought maybe some styling suggestions, but that can't be - your car looks PERFECT. If I had to choose SOMETHING, I'd say go to an Aero grill, paint the slats red, or go back to chrome.

Nice car.

At the least, a much thicker sway bar and some seriously crookeder places to go. Oh, and why the Marla Hooch approach to portraiture?

Amazing shot! Love it!
Your MINI is awesome!
I think some black stripes would look cool, but it does look neat w/o any strips. I really like how the grill is painted black...its different

Thanks for all the kind comments guys! Ill name some things i were thinking, lets see if you agree!

Maybe a cooper "s" front bumper and side skirt conversion?

Aero grille (is it hard to get the bottom one in? I notice nobody ever has it in)

Coilovers to lower it more, im on lowering springs right now

Window tint

Intake/exhaust just for sound purposes and maybe some slight gains...

Headlights or tails?

This is basically the kind of suggestions i was asking for, tell me what you think! Appreciate the comments more pics to come! Im doing my best with the car, im still 16 and its my first car, im in love with it already haha.
