I'm 6'3" and 18 stone, and haven't been told I look a tit in it (but then again it is funny watching a big fat bloke clamber out of a fully rollgcaged mini ).

As for a black grill, here's one for £25 plus vat:

Hmmm... Depends really, if you look a tit already then you'll still look like one, I have seen plenty of 6'+ people driving mini's no prob and not looking silly.
One thing that might be worth you buying are these little brackets you can get for under a £10 from any mini place, they let you move your seat back another inch of so and hence get better leg room.
Happy mini hunting,
