That was my first mod and I still love it.

First mod on the MINI, and every other car I own, is to ditch the paper air filter. Whether you go with a low restriction replacement panel or some sort of CAI, you won't regret it.

Fortunately, you gain a small amount of legroom in addition to the storage space.

Rear sway bar. You will not regret it.

Could not recommend it more highly.

The first mod was......

CHROME!

First the grill, then the downtubes, then the toggle rings and finally the mirror switch. (It came with the mirror caps and chromeline interior.)
