Low and wide (fat wheels) gives a very aggressive stance to a mini as a start.

Dark colours (matte black would be good) possibly de-chrome by spraying your bumpers etc would remove some of the 'nice and cheery' features of the mini. As well as playing around with some tape on the headlights as Cortina mentioned thumbsup.gif

I'm halfway on mine, just need to get some fat 10" wellers smile.gif
I'll post a pic up once i finish spraying the chrome bits - can't afford new wheels yet sad.gif

i think mine looks pretty meanish whistling.gif)
im on my phone so cant put a pic up but feel free to click on the garage bit and have a look. my opinions the same as above, low and wide it looks more aggressive

i think mine looks kinder meanish, lowered, wide wheels and de bumpered, its partially deseamed to which i think adds to it

I think the meanest looking minis are the ones with parts missing, everytime I see a project thread I fall in love with the photos in the middle of the build with no lights, grille arches etc.

Not quite what I mean but heres mine missing only its bonnet..

still need to sand it down and prime it matt black
