So far I have had the headlight rings sprayed dark silver for £30 by MINI-Matt. Think it was around £30 for the aero grills to be colour coded aswell.

I've also got to do something with the boot handle, door handles and and petrol cap but not sure whether to black or dark silver. Thinking maybe black.

Also the beltline will be going black for £8 from Phil at MINI Pirate.
