Thank you everyone for the quick replies

Looks like im gonna enjoy my mini adventure

Ok as for chip is this anygood?

Mini Cooper D Diesel Tuning Box Chip on eBay (end time 23-Apr-10 22:23:40 BST)

I not bad with tools and dont mind stripping things apart so i will look out for a centre armrest as definitely want one and the grill will be easy enough to swap

As for the headlights im guessing if its just the Orange bulb behind the indicator its a straight swap however mines the lamp lense itself
