Plenty of parts out there just depends on what you want to do. Search around on here for other threads/posts. Been lots of talks on this subject.

i think changing the exhaust is very individualistic

go to a mini meet and see what floats your boat sound and looks wise.

if you haven't already, a 15% pulley will make you a very happy motorist...but only you will know it's there

have fun!

I'd recommend camber plates. They will help out any MINI.

Rear sway bar. Very affordable and a great mod.

I was sticking to mods you can see... agree that camber plates and swaybar are awesome... but they don't make it "stand out"...
