I need some help/suggestions please :D :D

Hey all!! I need some help from fellow motorers. Graduation came and past, so now i have a little extra $$$ laying around to mod the mini. I was thinking of getting a system for the mini, and i mean like the works....in-dash dvd, components, amps, subs, dynamat..everything. Now that i think of it, its seems to be a little impractical.

This is where I need your help, lets say you had an extra 2k laying around. What would you do with it? Well, let me be more specific...what would you get for the MINI? I got all the things listed in my sig...now what?

Thanks for the input
-Chris

Chris,
Congrats! You should upgrade your system(but not that much ) and take a road trip in the Mini as a graduation present to yourself!

if your looking for more power, a new intake would be a real good start. i'm not too familiar with mods for the Cooper tho. then some subtle audio upgrades would be good; maybe a pair of tens, amp, and headunit. that would prolly put you close to 2k
