Chrome Line Exterior

MINI Cooper

- chrome bezel of the lower front grille

- front fog light surrounds

- rear central fog light surround

- 1 x chrome strip on front bumper

The picture you are showing is the new Cooper S, which comes with black mesh upper and lower grilles, regardless of whether the CHILI Pack is specified or not.

NEW MINI shows the two different looks of the two cars, with the full Chrome Line Exterior on the Cooper, which appears to confirm that the chrome strip on the rear bumper has been dropped entirely.
