Suppose you are running carying a mirror in frint of you.Now if your velocity keeps increasing and slowly approaches the velocity of light then how will your image change?

It won't. The mirror is in the same frame of reference as you so you'll not notice any difference.

Speculating on how fast an image in a mirror would approach is not meaningful. A mirror image is just a two-dimensional representation of the subject being reflected. In our 3-D universe three dimensional displacement over time is velocity; so a two-dimensional image does not have velocity capability since it cannot travel in three dimensions. As you, in three dimensions, approach that mirror, your image will enlarge...over the two dimensions of the flat mirror. But it will not actually approach you. So, bottom line, you're approach to the mirror is at v = 1/2 c, while your image is at v = 0 in the third dimension along your direction of travel towards the mirror.

If the mirror is moving with me, no change. If not I will begin to look more blue the faster I go.

The air particle will bombard with more force because you face is exerting more force because of acceleration. This energy will produce more heat. You may suffer from burns.

Your image will improve; with or without the mirror, people will respect you more.

according to einstein, as you approach the speed of light, mass increases. So i guess you'd look like a giant balloon.

It's be light too.
