should i switch my S gas lid to a Cooper lid?

i have this one currently (this isnt my MINI)



this is the door lid on the regular coopers (not the S models)




i got a guy in orlando wanting to trade me his regular gas door, for my chrome one. if i keep mine, its getting painted black anyways. i think i like the regular one though, it looks flush and doesnt stick out as much. i like mine, but to be color matched, i think i like the regular one.

what you guys think?

I'd keep the S cap and have it painted.
