What you looking to change as said in other posts if it's the belt line round the window vinyl is the best way

As for the other bits you can get them painted or get new from MINI sell some stuff or eBay/gumtree.

Headlight surrounds and all the other chrome bits n bobs,

Look at carbon fibre but I'd have to sell my mum to fund my carbon fibre obsession haha

If that's the case what you looking to do ? I've had both sets of my lights painted - matte black rings with thunder blue inserts on my GP and electric blue rings with alpin white inserts on my S

The problem you have with painting chrome is that it's difficult to sometimes get the paint to stick to it which is why it's easier and cheaper to get the chrome wrapped rather than painted. If you're looking at something like mine done then I'd say go for it but make sure it's done right ... You get what you pay for sometimes !! ;)
