I have a 2003 MC. I have an RSpeed exhaust, BMP intake, H-Sport springs and rear sway bar. I have recently come into some birthday money, and I am torn between getting the aero side skirts (I have the S bumpers fitted) or an OBX header. The only reason I am leaning away from the header is that I really don't want to push my luck any further with my warranty or push my luck with my gearbox holding up over the long haul. I also don't really want to get into having SES lights popping on and trying to deal with that, which makes me lean towards the safer mod of doing the aero sideskirts. Any thoughts? What would you do with my car if you had $400-$500 to spend on a mod or mods?

 

Somebody once asked Frank Beilec of "Trading Spaces" what he would do to a room if he had $100 to spend to fix it up. He told them that he wouldn't spend it on a room, instead would use the $100 to take his wife out for dinner and dancing!

 

What if your wife wants you to spend the money on your MINI?

 

Pardon me...., but, could I borrow your wife for just a bit?

 

If you get the aero side skirts, have the paint shop do all of your wheel arches and black plastic trim at the same time.

You can also get a great look and save some $$$ by just having all of your current black plastic bits painted to body color. Although the aero skirt looks nice, a regular one that is painted looks just about as good
