Unhappy tale pipe trim

Hi, I'm a Japanese MINI lover.
3 month ago I got R56 MINI ONE. This is one of the first shipped ONEs for Japanese edition.

My ONE is pure ONE (without any option, it is called so in Japan). But I do not like tale pipe feature. So I'd like to fit tale pipe trim for my ONE. But dealer man said my ONE can not fit tale pipe trim because my one 's(without chrome line exterior) tale pipe diameter is 10 to 20mm less than COOPER or ONE with chrome line exterior.

Did you know what I can do?

Fisico wellcome to mini2 if i was you i would search some of the mini spares sites and email them to see if can get something nice for you, you will find a list in links and sponsers section. Is the dealer saying the car comes with a different size tail pipe with out chrome line exterior seems strange, i though you could get the cooper tail in chrome.

Thank you for advise, Mr DerekH.
I will try to send email MINI site that send parts to Japan.
And unbelievably, MINI ONE has 2 type of tale pipe. I also checked it at Japanese dealer with dealer man! So if BMW launch tale pipe trim for R56 MINI ONE, it would be smaller than COOPER and ONE with chrome line exterior version.

Red face I got tale pipe trim for R56 ONE

Hello, and long time no see you. Sorry, and thank you for replying.

Finaly, I got tale pipe trim for R56 MINI ONE just released recently.
In details, you can see on my blog. But sorry it provides in Japanese only.
If you'd like to know minutely, give a message on my blog (see trackback URL).

Best regards.
