I am only about 3 weeks away from getting my PS/B MC(phew).

When I first ordered it I decided against getting the chrome strip on the front and back bumper because I didn't like how it looked on the front Bumper(too much silver)!

But...Having saw a picture of BartMacks new MC - The chrome on the rear bumper looks really good? Have I made a mistake or what do you guys think of PS MC without the chrome(Theres not too many clear pictures of any in the gallerys).

i've seen some mini ones without the chrome line exterior and they look absolutely fine! the chrome does finish it off nicely but theres no way that not having it detracts from the beautifulness of the car.

Good Choice!!

I see you've went for the 17"s as well!

I've had mine on order since mid June and the wait has just been murder - Dealer phoned yesterday to offer me a choice of registrations, on the final stretch now!

What made you switch to a Cooper?

My Mini had undergone a HUGE rear damage & I had the chance to install the chrome strips later. I am sure glad I did!

jasonfields007 · Aug 7th, 2003, 08:55 AM

How much did they cost coolmini (if you dont mind me asking). Just in case I have a change of heart in the future!

Put my chrome bumbers on several months after purchase. Got them at MINIMANIA.COM My favorite color is chrome.

But you must remember... CHROME WON'T GET YOU HOME...

I say, "Chrome or go home!" lol OK so I like the chrome look... ;-)
