Opinions on subtle mods for my new car!??



  Mini Cooper
As you know, Ive bought Middos car, and am trying think of a few subtle mods to go on the car to put my own touch on it!!

The car will be coming with steel grey trophy turinis, so wheels are sorted hopefully!! i like em, will have to see how they look on the car!!
also, fancy getting the brake callipers and drums painted, but unsure what colour!! was thinking black, silver or yellow!!
Also thinking about upgrading the speaker system, but unsure whether to or not, as I never turn up my music loud!!
Other than that, I cant think of anything, so any little ideas or opinions would be great!! Want it to keep the nice subtle but stylish theme, was considering a re-spray, but cant justify spending that much, and have been told the paint work will never be as perfect as a factory sprayed car!!

Here some pics of the car, on the old wheels:

and here are the wheels that are going on it:

I have to admit, I'm not sure the Turini's are going to work too well on this car. It's got a kinda 'Euro' look going with the smaller wheels and lowered a fair bit that the multispokes make not pull off so well...

I'd keep it as is for a while mate, don't make changes for changes sake.

Wheels look very nice

The mats are even better though....did you have them made up professionally?

Wait until you get the wheels on and go from there.I think it will look great when there on.

I think it will look good with the Turinis, don't see the point in doing anything else unless you really have money to burn.

What suspension is it on? I had 4 pots on my 1.2 (same as on that Valver) and they were immense, but hard to justify cost.

as said above i'd just uprate all the speakers to components, and make that mint. Wheels are looking mint in all honesty and they're on amazing tyres so keep them on. Only other things i considered doing to it was maybe a respray (in aprillia rosso dark red) and a full custom retrim, but really dont think its needed anymore. The carbon did look good, so thats always an option, id your gonna paint the drums and callipers i'd stick to silver or black (dont wanna be drawing attention to the fact its got drums lol).
