At 2'' I think the plastic trim will look funny/awkward on that angle. You could always trim that metal up to just short of where the plastic trim attaches to gain some room as well. That is what the "slammed" MINIs do..

Since there is not any problem with space, I will wait to do any modification after moving to H&R Coil Spring

Wow! Seriously get some wheels with the correct offset. You shouldn't have to cut, hammer, anything on a MINI.

I have the correct offset and the car will be NOT modified.
Just searching for lowering the car with sport springs.

You really need the proper offset wheels. The design looks great on your car, but modifying sheetmetal then expecting the fender trim to fit? Most likely not gonna happen.

Let me check if lowering the car is a bad idea and can affect the wheels
