you can get black guttering anywhere, like minispares or eBay, as most mini's had black guttering as standard rather than chrome. My mini has mostly black trim, like door handles, wipers, mirrors etc, so you will be able to get those anywhere too, perhaps even cheaper here on the mini forum? :)
Not sure where you'd find black headlight rings though, if you want them to be shiny like chrome you can actually get black chrome these days, I've seen it done with motorbike exhausts...

Headlamp rings can be keyed up and an etch primer applied, Then you can spray them any colour you want. I did it on the chrome grille on my old 190E
The rear light frames are plastic but can still be flatted back and a plastic primer applied and then painted in the same way. Basically key up-prime-paint just etch prime for metal and plastic prime for plastic. Simples
