Hi, please help me, i am very confused...

My Mini One is coming in September, and i have specified the chrome bumbper strips. I have also asked the dealer to change the chrome grille on the front to the one like they have on the cooper. On the Mini One it has a chrome surround and black in the middle, whereas the Cooper is all Chrome. (I think!)

On the bottom of the bumper on the Cooper there is an oval shaped piece of metal mesh, whereas this is black on the One. Is it possible to change this? If so how much?

Also in the Mini Brochure it shows the ONE with a chrome boot handle already, but on some of the pictures in the mini ONE gallery on this site:

It shows it as black. Do you get the chrome handle with the chrome strips, or perhaps as part of the salt package (which i have specified)

One final question - They have told me my mini will be coming 'in septmeber.' WHat experiences have people had with deliveries, are they normally early or late in the month? Or even after the month?

THanks a lot,
David.

I don't know about the mesh but as far as I know, don't quote me on this, the boot handle comes black as standard unless otherwise stated but I stand to be corrected !!!

The One seems to come with Black grille and chrome surround, black boot handle and black lower grille.
Your dealer should be able to supply and fit chrome versions of all these items for you - at a cost of course!
my mate Martyn (Ginger) had his top front grille changed to chrome for a fairly small cost , about 50 quid I think...

Ive got:
Chrome exhaust trim £21
Chrome boot release £35

It is possible to fit the lower mesh but its supposed to be a cow of a job

Thats quite an incentive to pass your test daveorbond, good luck.

ok, well at least i'm not the only one confused about well... the front!

what's the exhaust trim like? worth having???

my dealer said that the top bit of the grille at the front is simple to change, but that the bottom bit is a lot harder and more expensive... i think i'll leave it.

yep it is quite an incentive to pass my test!!!!
