Default Any Mini enthusiasts here? And Photoshop artists too

Sorry for yet another cage thread, but I'm just getting more and more obsessed with the Mini. The car I have in mind is the new R56 MCS, with factory bells and whistles (like "sport" suspension) and maybe the JCW Stage 1 kit and suspension later on if I'm really unhappy (or bored).

I'd like to ask a couple of questions on specialized Mini boards, but kinda don't trust Google, because the message boards it finds are mostly filled with "and then I bought a purse to match the car color" or "My husband talked me out of buying A3 because the automatic transmission on the Mini works better". I didn't mean to offend the opposite sex. I need something where I can ask questions like "where can I get those mean black rims?" or "what's you SOW lap time with the JCW kit?".

I also have a couple of simple PS requests as I attached three images.
1. The blue car: Can you change the rims, roof, and mirrors to black and (if possible) get rid of the stripes?
2. The yellow car: the same thing, but only mirrors and rims, as the roof is already black and there are no stripes (that kind of decor is not popular in Europe).

Then on both cars can you completely de-chrome it (the headlights, grille, door handles, that side vent thingie and the trim at the bottom of the greenhouse) making two versions:
a) color-coordinated
b) chrome changed to black

IMO it's doable: sanding off the chrome and painting those trim pieces.

Well, I do dabble in Photoshop but my best talent is 3D modeling. The mini is a cult car. It has been around before me and probabaly will be after I am gone. I really want one because to me it is a big kid go kart. My wife on the other hand won't let me, LOL.
