Take a look at the "girly" touch I added to my MINI.....
I initially wanted to get these flowers in pink, but opted to go with the black and I'm glad I did (not to mention that my husband said he probably wouldn't have driven the her if she had PINK flowers! 
). I really like the way it came out....It's definitely a "chick" MINI now, aye???

That little egg-shaped orange lens on each side... that's your side repeater lens. You can get a very inexpensive replacement lens that is clear/white, it comes with an orange bulb to keep you legal. That orange looks out of place, IMO.
The brake caliper is the part of the brake assy that holds the pads which squeeze the rotors. Yours would look hot painted RED. They would really stand out in your design scheme and add a sporty touch to your girly MINI.

And yes, very easy to paint your calipers. The most work is in removing the wheels. After that, piece of cake !
You just need a caliper paint kit:

Yep, it's a decal (and a very good one!) It was actually sent from Kauai! I searched for some kind of flower stripe, but this was the only pattern that I liked, not that I have a particular fondness for or heritage from Hawaii...just thought the flowers were pretty!
