Switch the front grill cover to the inside instead of the outside of the grill.
You will get about 90% of the effect you have going right now but wil look 200% better (like stock). Thats how I did it in my Mazda to keep it clean looking... and you have a Mini Cooper it has to be clean looking!
BTW racing discs would look amazing on your car (very retro) so you could get away without making rear wheel skirts and again keep it looking clean and "cool"
