With a back catalogue that includes over 60 years of tinkering, there are all manner of ways in which you can improve a Mini and just as many different opinions as to which are the best. But while we don’t claim to know what is best for everyone, here at Mini Mag we can rely on more than 25 years of experience on what it takes to make sure your Mini goes properly in all weathers, stops, and is as comfortable and as uncompromised as possible. Here, then, are ten of the best mods when it comes to improving the safety or usability of your pride and joy.
FIT DECENT TYRES
When it comes to tyres, the same clichés about them being your only contact points with the road are trotted out again and again. But it’s true that tyres are feasibly the most important component fitted as they keep you on the road, and heftily contribute to you not ploughing into the back of other cars under braking – especially in the wet. There are very good quality tyres available for pretty much the whole range of Mini rim sizes, and they’re not that expensive. There are even various new options on sale now from the likes of Blockley and Nankang.
Be wary of aged tyres too
