I promise to do whatever gets the most votes (or a single vote)

I am not modding or tricking up my car................I am just adding some stuff!

Every MINI looks unique and reflects the owner's personality so whatever looks good to you is probably okay with us too. Hey, you're driving a MINI! :-)
I don't like the chromed doors handle recesses. The smoked tail lights - yes on some MINIs, maybe no on others. Not for moi.

Well, I looked at your gallery, and I see your MINI is PW (awesome color BTW). My own personal preference is that I don't think an abundance of chrome looks all that great on PW. PW is a subtle, classy color, and the chrome just overpowers. Again, just my opinion.

I do like the smoke taillights however. So the taillights get my vote...

Sorry, I can't say that I am a fan of any of these chrome pieces, but everyone has their individual taste... That said, I think you've chosen some of the better options. Stay away from the side molding and light rings IMO.

it would look really good with the chrome washer covers and an alta stubby antenna.

new wheels would be a plus(s lites or another)...but it looks good as it is now

If I were to select only one it would be the smoked out

taillights. Car looks great just as it is, IMO...but they are difficult to leave be. Post a pic when all is said and done!
