Not sure the gold rims would go unless you outfitted the rest of it in gold. Maybe with a body color roof.

you dont really need one, get a CAI first and see if that's enough noise for you.

Cold Air Intake, if you have an open system, you should be able to hear the recirculating valve work. From everything i've read in the drivetrain section, a real BOV isn't needed.
There's quite a few threads in the drivetrain section, i suggest reading through some of them, especially the forge threads.

lb/b here... get some tints and some black/gun metal rims.

def do cai for sure and black out that silly chrome!



and some tints!


ive been looking forever with the blackout and tints and some extended sport striipes on nam since forever...

btw... as cool as subies are, minis are nooo subies... no need to imitate one either. i do agree that gold looks really sick on blue but i think for minis... they look sick on a black mini...
this is a cooldaddy's car... got to give credit where credit is due...

I'm looking into gold/bronze wheels as well.

I personally think it would look awesome. I love blue/gold. Only issue, is the car would look really funny if there was any chrome left...
