I finally get to see what my car would look like with the painted arches. Looks fantastic.
I also like that intake scoop. Is that black or grey carbon fiber?

Beautiful cf scoop!! One clean pw. With the black top I kind of miss the balance that the black wheel arches and trim gave it. Wheels and tires: Brand and size request, what'chya runnin?

For a second I thought i was looking at a factory aero kit, but
then noticed you went another route.
nice work.

Very nicely done, looks sweet. Are you going to use Pepper White roof checks?

I Was going to get the checkers painted silver and white, or black and white, but i decided not to. It is something i will probally get bored of, and dont want to go through the hassle of 2 repaints. I am just going to use the factory checker board vinyl.
About the wheels they might be et37, i would have to check.

i agree...with the color keyed arches it is very smooth.....i think the checker board would be too much.

Really nice .. I would leave it alone as well ... the checkers might be too much ... or not
PW is really becoming one of my favorite colors and a strong contender for my next MINI's color

Pepper white is one sweet color. One of the best that MINI came up with.
And don't apologize for your "camera skills". I'm not an expert, but they look FINE to me.
nice work.
