You've got a great looking car. I feel like it would be very hard to make your JCW roadster look bad. I hate any kind of wood on sporty cars but this doesn't look too bad, although if it were me I'd never do it. Props for doing something really different and out there. I would have probably chosen the same red from your calipers to get a little more pop.

Thanks! Yes! I actually sent my old set and had them painted by the member selling them in the marketplace. He did a fantastic job!
Somebody else with power-fold mirrors also has a set... haha

Honestly, It'd be a cold day in Hell before I'd go that route on my MINI but it really does look nice on your Roadster. In fact as I scrolled down and caught the first glimpse I thought what....the...he...ey that looks pretty cool! The more I scrolled down the more I liked it. Nice job doing something out of the ordinary. That's what I love about MINI folk!

thanks everyone. Yes I'm going to need a pipe and a monocle now!

I thought about hood scoop. But I think I'm going to keep it simple. Possible the dash but not sure. we'll see.

I would think NO, to the hood scoop. I believe the attractiveness of the contrast is in large part due to its minimalism. Or,.....Less is More
