I'm looking to add these to my MC for that "Smooth" look. Can't just paint the stock ones because of the texture, or can I. Looking for best method, including purchase.

 

I too like the "smooth" look you describe by having paint colored wheel arches instead of the existing, textured matte black arches.
-One method is to double prime the arches to eliminate the texture and then paint the existing arches.
-Another method would be to buy new arches. I've seen several options if you decide to go this route. they make the same size arches that come primed and untextured, also they make oversized arches that also come primed. The oversized arches might look nice if you have wheel spacers to widen your wheel base(just an idea).

This is my favorite painted molding MINI. It belongs to miniqueen and I believe it's still for sale (she's the motoring manager at westchester MINI).

 

Here is the Xenon kit. I know everyone is going to comment on the "woody" aspect of it. It does NOT come with the wood panels. I THINK it is just new trim, keeping you bumpers. I am not sure on that part though, does anyone know?
