Modifications that shouldn't be made...

Somehow I just can't embrace this "personalization"....

Seems like even the MINI should have some self-respect!

I could go the yellow wheels and mirror caps.........no problem........but the ears?

Actually, its impressive how many times MINIs get tagged for use in advertising. Why? Because people will notice a MINI...or so the ad people say.

I always thought it was spelled, "Minnie Mouse," not "MINI Mouse."

I can only imagine those ears drag-limit the speed to about 45 MPH

It's almost creepy how well the mirrors work with that "scheme". Would have been better if they used the headlights as the white buttons

Actually, they house a sophisticated laser/radar detection and jamming system.

Of course, as Rye already pointed out, it wouldn't much matter if you were clocked in that poor car. No point in bothering to fit a big brake kit on that!
