Chrome line exterior - MINI Cooper Forum

Leedz · #1 (**permalink**) Jul 31st, 2010, 12:04 AM

Does anyone know what the chrome line exterior on the 2011 models consists of?
I've specced up a Cooper on the new configurator, and when I add the Chili pack the picture shows the car with what looks like a massive chrome frame on the lower front grille. I'm having problems with the configurator so I can't see the enlarged pic, but to me it looks awful.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

It does looks awful- especially on the facelift.
Don't bother with it.

Agreed, it is hideous on the one/cooper maybe it'll look better in real life? what i carn't figure out on the configurator is the 2011 aero kit, it seems to only be available on the base up to cooper models and includes colour coded arches and grill? it is quite odd and especially strange that its not available on cooper S and JCW.

If it really is that awful then I won't bother with it. Trouble is, I'll then have to specify the other options I want from the pack, seperately, which I guess will affect resale value?
