They are very cool... not sure the white wheel trims suit though.

the racing green and flame red minis were the target cars for the John Cooper engine Conversion Kits that were sold before the re-release of the Mini Cooper.
it seems quite a few Mini 30's got the treatment as well.
 
you should research these as well as its quite interesting stuff and some of the cars feature cooper side stripes...

 it's also worth mentioning that the Racing green and Flame red were released twice, first time in 1989 with the mini sky and mini rose with plastic wheel trims and officially called mini racing and mini flame...

second time in 1990 with the mini checkmate and rover alloys and officially called Mini racing green and mini flame red...

That looks like a very sorted car, I have seen a few 30's and these done with the john cooper bits it does make for a nice car thats for sure.
