    Put on the Cooper lower front bumper and remove that oversized and mis-placed S on the front grill.

    I styled my old R53 using the interview tactic of removing the first thing to be noticed. Stand in front of a full-length mirror, close your eyes, then take one quick 'peep' at yourself in the mirror (1/4 second), then close your eyes again. Whatever you first noticed in your 'peep' needs to be removed/restyled. Repeat until a even, confident look is achieved. I painted arches, painted wheels, covered up yellow lights and red highlights to make, IMHO, an elegant car.

    The new MINI makes me want to get one and style it again... just to see what the car really can be. It's just going to be a lot more work than with my R53. I don't even know if I have the imagination or skill to fix those rear tail lights!

    That car needs an "I heart abortion" sticker on the back bumper because of just how much of an abortion it is. :D:p

    They also don't have arms; definitive proof that the car was never intended for driving.

    It's amazing how just a little more overhang on a small car makes such a huge difference in appearance.

    Like americans, europeans must be getting larger too...
