I like the before version. Now it looks very...confused.

I LOVE the old wheels but they won't fit my JCW. :(

I personally like the before picture. It looks better with the previous wheels and white mirrors, but hey, it's a Mini and you should do what you like!

My thoughts are that your changes look killer!...but then again I'm partial to black. Have you thought about changing out or wrapping your door handles?

Nice work!

I like the before. The black look doesn't seem to really go with the white roof and stripes.

I'm more of a fan of the before picture too, but anything looks good with laser blue! By far my favorite color!

Glad you changed the wheels. The black challenge wheels look much sportier. I noticed the same dilemma with my own car... going with a dark theme but with a light roof. Its tough.

Here is an "in-between"
