Default Painted arches (but not what you think)

Found some pics of PW R56 but with the arches painted gloss black, I quite like it makes it look quite chunky and aggresive I think. What does everyone else think???

I'm seriously considering doing this to mine... Already chatted to Robin at RJM about it... I'm getting fedup of using trim detailer all the time...

Not too keen on that. Mine is going back to Robins this week for a bit to be repainted after I stripped it with a pressure washer today

I think it looks awesome on that PW, I think it could potentially look great on any MINI as the arches start off as black in the first place...
