Everyone has the right to say whatever they please. Criticism is criticism. Take it for whatever it's worth to you. I've always been outspoken about mods and I'll continue to do so.
Every one of my friends know that about me, that they'll get the honest truth when it comes to mods. They'll still do it regardless my opinion, but at least they know what I thought. I've done stuff they didn't agree with and they told me I was stupid for it, but just like the OP, he chose to do what he thought was cool.
So for you to step in and be the "comment police", just step back.
It's really simple, saying negative comments about someone's work says more about you than the person. If you have nothing positive to say, don't say anything at all. Elect to pass, it's ok, he won't miss your opinion.
I only jump in debates like this because I hate when people think they have to be heard. No, we don't have to hear you.

You mentioned the right to say what you want, freedom of speech, did you know that right is actually limited when you abuse it towards someone else. You mention truth, it's not truth it's an opinion. You mentioned your friends, he's not a friend, but a stranger on a forum.

What really sucks is the OP spent a lot of time, money and energy on this. He makes a post asking for ideas and comments and it turns into this nonsense.
You should be able to make both positive and negative comments. If you make a negative comment you should do it in a non abusive way. There is NOTHING wrong with saying that you don't like something because...
Now having said that I will once again say that I think his car looks very cool. Well done sir!!

You're telling people to keep negative comments to themselves, and proceed to talk about what you literally hate in other people.
The OP asked for comments, not compliments only. Matte black isn't my cup of tea either for the Mini. I saw one locally, and it just had a dusty/dirty look to it. Up close it had a few minor scratches that gave the surface a chalkboard like appearance but in a scuffed dusty way. Didn't work for me and seemed exceedingly hard to maintain the surface from scuffs, etc. But that's just my take.

Hot Rods of the past and present have been using the primer look for years. A little history shows us they were called Hot Rods, then Rat Rods. What can we call the new style of the primer look cars? Hot Imports or Rat Imports or Rat MINIs 
Oh man, like the Mustang GT500 red on matte black stripes...so sexy.

i know i could search for all these questions but...
have you had a lot of experience with wrapping a car? how long did this take you? and hows the maintenance on that? wash but no wax?
i really like the matte look, and may in the future keep the same pw scheme with black roof but make it all matte.
edit:its looks awesome, and i agree with the red stripe ideas

I really like the way it turned out. 
I like the matte with the gloss top, mirror covers, etc. I say to gloss the scoop to make it *pop* on the hood. Though I did the like the red strip idea others were throwing out as well.

Sorry, because I know that flat black and flat colors seem to be in now but I'm not a fan. reminds me of the coat of primer before you paint. I saw a 630 BMW in a show room and it was a flat dark grey, and if my memory serves me, it added several thousand the to the bottom line. Just not my cup of tea
So, yeah, it's all a matter of taste… some like it, some don't.
