Black Spokes / Darkened Headlight Housing???

What do you think of this combination on a pepper white roadster, no stripes...
Constructed a roadster with a mini sales rep today... He recommended the black wheel spokes vs silver , and darkened headlight housing vs clear ...

I think it would look great! Can you build one on the Mini configurator so you can get a look?

I opted for the 17" black "conical" wheels on my Midnight Black R59S. I figured that there'd be a certain amount of brake dust on whichever wheels I chose...so why not have them black to begin with!

I also got the "black" headlights as I thought it completed the look I was shooting for.

I've seen the same look on a R56. Great look. I my self am going for the Darth Vader look. All black with red stripes and a hint of red in the interior. PW with the balck accents is my second choice,
