Beautiful Mini!
I would do the rims with the polished lip (ones on the Honda), but I also like the ones on the other mini too. Happy Dilemmas!

Love those Motegi SP-10's! That's what I'll be getting.
Why aren't the fenders painted??

Strange because if you ask me my least favorite color for a car I will say white for 2 reasons. 1) White does a poor job of showing a cars lines. Well the MINI doesn't have lines to show and it's probably the only good looking anti-line car. 2) White looks so antiseptic and plain. However the MINI's Pepper has just the right amount of off white and with the black roof it offers a great contrast.
Looks great and I like the OEM wheels. I've never been a fan of black (or even gun metal) wheels but it will still look good. Also I have a Pepper White.

That's the dealer installed kit and not the factory installed package.

The wheel arches look funky in black, I would get those painted. Looks great otherwise!

Nice mini. Definetly go with those wheels and drop it. Maybe some spacers if you need them. And definetly paint those arches.

Actually it's b/c the fenders didn't come painted on the Aero kit until 09

What a beautiful MINI!! Congrats!
As for the wheels, I can't suggest you any since I'm a big fan of the web spokes! I have them myself and I think they look awesome on the MINI.
