i'm putting the stripes back on next week
& the door handles in black
i'm also going to install the black finishers (side vents) from a Cooper modified with the red "S"

I like the gas cap and grill.
I'm always iffy on the different colored scoop. I'm too conservative I guess.
Very cool and different and if you're happy that's what counts.
Now you have to paint those hubs so you can't see the rust behind those nice OZ rims

You have black lug bolts? That would continue your theme.

i kept the darksilver scoop in case i don't like the black one after the stripes are re-installed
i will paint the hubs in the spring when i replace the rotors with drilled ones
black lug nuts, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....i think i like that, good idea

I like those wheels.

The grille looks good, the cap looks a bit strange to me at first site, but it's actually quite a nice idea when you're over the "eh, it's not shiny?" stage.

i'm real happy with the grille, i'm glad i painted it instead of installing the areo grille
i felt the same way at first about the gas cap (i still have the orginal chrome one)
also have a 2nd set of door handles that are out getting painted black now
& i'm fitting the red "S" on the black (reg) Cooper finishers (side vents)

Halfords are doing good deals on OZ c/w with tyres at the moment
