Fake (as in stuck on fake bolts) ultra/super light split rims.

NB I have these on my mini - but not for much longer!

I hate 13 inch wheels, eye lids on the headlights, loads of colourful stuff in the interior, body kits, massive exhaust that kill performance.

I could go on.

Hahahaha most of you will hate my mini :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

But, I have no choice to stick with the bodykit and the paint ( black glitter O_O ) because its my first mini/car and sod it, its a bit of a bodge in places but nothing half as bad as what I've seen before, and i'm gonna drive it as a mini, and not worry about all the people thinking its a shed of crap, i probably think the same about yours ;D it'll still feel the same as a 'good' mini but i love her the way she is haha, and when i'm older and have more monies i'll go to town on summit nice :gimme:

But the things I hate are

wheels too small for arches
sunstrip stickers/vinyl's that all the pikeys have on their clios
really boring looking mini's that look as if someone has shat on it and then put some wheels on it
suspension that is way too high
genuinely crap looking bodykits with 12x4.5 wheels
these dashboards that everyone has with 3 clocks, headunit space and a door that seems to break all the time

lastly....non original ideas, make it your own :D

I think that's about it haha ;D

Oh well. My car has 13 inch wheels (and big arches - luckily in black), lowered a lot, basically level, has mk 1 lights on rear (imagine if they were clear!) clear indicators on front ( tho that is normal here), mk1 grill. The car was debumpered but now has chrome bumpers with nudge bars, and topped off with chrome around the front door window frames. Top it all off with a big exhaust fake petrol filler and bonnet stripes. Oh dear..... I quite like my ugly freak of a car!

A few things I dislike, including stuff that was on mine that I loved, then got it and hated, then came to like it for what it is...i.e if I got another Mini it wouldn't look anything like it.

Reminded by a recent thread, what I really hate and think looks awful 100% of the time - stickerbombing. Just why?

"starmag" wheels are ugly.

No mini deserves to be given 13" wheels, they look too big, like tractor wheels.

Boogy woogy boxes and big speakers, it just dont suit a mini.

Ridiculous negative camber, WHY? Just to scrub the insides of the tyres out in no time :lol:

"DTM" exhausts, sound awful. Just a deep drone that offends my ears.

Tinted windows, and by that i mean, totally illegal type tint. Its chavvy.

Smooth bootlids, with relocated rear numberplates, NO!

Deseaming, makes em look bald (not that theres anything wrong with bald people)

Those "bad boy" "evil eye" headlight things. Looks entirely gash!

Oh, and "lifted" bonnets, that are risen at the back, looks like poor panel alignment, and that the car owner doesnt have a clue, it actually has a negative effect on cooling.

Clear rear lenses
13" wheels
De-seamed
the rear de-bumpered (but i really like the front)
body kits
Chrome arches (although i've had these since owning the car-3 years)
wavy grille
