Wheels and suspension...start there...then see how you like it

What Colour do you have? I like the black wheels on just about anything...but that is my opinion.

interior chome pack,alloy heater control dials, all relatively cheap, but very effect, i find any exterior mods are great, but , they are something for others to see, the interior mods work both ways ;)

my first mini was a basic mini one, added silver bonnet stripes, chrome interior and chrome mirror caps and it looked WICKED!

If you want to improve performace then a remap can add quite a bit of peformace to the one for little cost since it is effectively a restricted Cooper.

In terms of exterior I'd suggest looking around at what other people have done and seeing what you like and then research those parts.

One piece of advice stay clear of cheap nasty fiberglass body kits.

Just picked up mine yesterday....and making a shopping list, stripe kit (racing) rear spoiler, chrome filler cap, (not sure if I am going additional driving lights or grille mounted fog lights, might also swap out chrome grille for S type black one. Oh yeah the mini is white with black roof with sun roof. Looks great now....but I can make it better..and mine.
