Question Chrome rear cup holder cover for Mini leather armrest

I recently fitted the Mini leather armrest for my 04 MCSC, and it came with the non chrome cover for the rear cup holder.


It doesn’t really bother me as you can’t really see it to much, but I would quite like to to match the rest of my chrome line interior.


Is this available as a part from Mini, else is there somewhere I can obtain the part that’s not a Mini part?


Any help on this is appreciated, cheers!

MINI only supply this part in Whitler Silver or Anthracite not Chrome.
I am trying to cut up a MINI Chrome part to fit.
Chrome paint ?

The MINI Cooper Park Lane (as well as others, I'm sure) came with this part in chrome, so I find it hard to believe MINI cannot supply it.

Park Lane is a Special Edition, so not listed on there, as it lists 'From 01/2005' as the most recent availability. This was before the Park Lane was released. Dealers will be able to order chrome ones.

with the awkward shape, i think it would be very difficult to make one yourself and it look good...

It didn't come with a Chrome part on my Park Lane , I had the arm rest factory fitted too

I was thinking of doing this myself, but couldn't find one anywhere

That's odd, as both of my Park Lane demonstrators had the chrome ring (although granted neither had the armrest) so maybe it isn't available?
