Hmmm, thinking about checkered mirror caps... How about porsche-matching ovals as "checkers" on Konky's mirrors? Not too heavy a contrast, maybe a dark silver oval... Just a thought... pretty straightforward to do (and reversible) with decal material and an ExActo knife or good scissors...

notice that you have a white roof and white stripes as well to match.
Putting checkers on an ALL black car would stick out like a sore thumb. Different "rules" apply to different cars

nyaah - read my post - not checkers, but very subtle ovals to match the rims. Now that I re-think it, it may look ugly, but it was a thought. I like the all-black with the phonedials though, definitely in my top 10, maybe top 5.

My latest wheels & tyres
Hi fellow MINI devotees,
I have enclosed photo of my new wheels & tyres. I am extremely happy to have finally rid myself of the runflats and heavy rims. Big difference. Also, in my humble opinion, they look much better!

Keep going. The War on Chrome will be a long, hard struggle, but you will ultimately emerge victorious.

Those are the nicest brake ever
The best part is the entire rotor surface is being used unlike the Wilwood 13" kit which has a lot being wasted
How much and who sells it?
