Color decals on rims - not so sure, what do y'all think?

So I just dropped the winter rubber and put on summer shoes. 16" RPF1's with Conti DWS (yep, in Alaska that's my summer rubber, in the winter I have studless winter tires).

This time I added color trim to the RPF1's - not sure I like it:


Other little tidbits I had changed previously: R59 lip, driving lights, yellow fogs, and custom scuttles.



Any thoughts? Like - no like?

I like the fog lights and the rims. Pretty good looking Mini!

Here is my first Mini (R56) and I have to say that so far it's a pain in the *** but I love it anyway!
