I have stripped my mini down ready to respray it, and I want to put sports pack wheel arches on it, but how easy are they to fit? Ive heard you have to cut into the metal frame of the car?
Also will the sports pack alloys go on it ok? Or so I need spacers etc

You have to cut about a inch off around the front wheel arches to give clearance for sportspack arches with 13" wheels. I think thats correct.
Bear in mind cheap non gen sportspack arches some are flexable are harder to fit than genuine sportspacks, although when fitted well still look good

Good luck
