Chrome line exterior with Pepper White Cooper S Conv ?

Is it worth the bother (and £60) and if so what do I get please?

Also whilst asking is the Visibility pack worthwhile beyond the auto dimming mirror ?

Thanks

Nick

vis pack also gives you a heated windscreen (but not mirrors or water jets) & rain sensing wipers

you get two chrome strips on the back bumper and chrome foglight surrounds on the front and another chrome strip across the front, which looks really nice on the pepper white

What he said - see my gallery for pics. I wasn't sure until I actually took delivery, but very gald I went for it. I also went for chromed mirror caps because I wanted the chromed boot hinges!

I didn't go for chrome bumper inserts but i did get the mirrors and boot hinges instead of a free bottle of bubbley.
I personally prefer the all white bumpers.


Keep yourself peppered! and look after your toys

I agree.

And I'm not usually a fan of chromeline, inside or out, but it does look good on PW if you're buying a One/Cooper.

Speaking of which, what do you get if you spec it on the MCS? Or can you not? I always though the boot handle was included... and the hinges if you specced it on the convertible...

Went for it on my MCSC as I like shiny stuff. You get:

Chrome boot handle
Inserts
Radiator Grill
Fog Light Surrounds

You only get the boot hinges if you order the wing mirrors in chrome too.

With the PW option I went for the anthracite inside as it gives you lots of contrast. The chrome interior looks fab against the darker interior IMHO...

... but that's all it is - opinion.

Hi Nick,

I have a Pepper White Cooper S Convertible with chrome pack on both inside and
outside and even a chrome air intake on the bonnet. Inside: black/cream leather seats
and anthracite panels.

I get stopped by people all the time -- they love the combination !

As for Visibility package: I took it as a heated fron screen is plenty helpfull in winter time here in
Holland.

Where did you get your chrome intake from and do you have any pictures? I'm thinking of getting one for my JCW Cooper S Convertible, as like you I think the chrome against Pepper White and anthracite is the way to go!

Here's the link with the pictures. Don't forget to add the chrome mirror caps as well
whist you are at it ;-) The chrome air intake on the bonnet was a standard new extra
that I could order.
