Like To Keep My Mini Shinin'

heres a few pictures to shoe how mini coopers can be luxurious. for those who are anti-chrome.... please dont hate just appreciate. its an 02' cooper s but i liked the chrome bar from the 05 minis and a little DIY chrome strip right above the vents to give it a little more uniqueness. i also liked the chrome piece on the bumper from 02 minis.... enjoy

Nice! I like that chrome bar across the bottom of the front bumper. I don't remember seeing it before. (But I don't see many 02's.)

I think he added that chrome strip himself. 02 MCS did not have the chrome strip, but it is seen on 2005-2006 Coopers with the chrome exterior package. 02-04 Coopers had big chrome "baguette" loaves on the bumpers. . .

I'm a chrome lover too. I added the mirror caps as well as an 02-04 style 4-slat Cooper grille.

Just noticed the aim on those two driving lights, what is it, the cross-eyed "blind em" in their rear view mirrors position?

Oh yeah, well explain that rear chrome bumper strip from an '02-'04 Cooper??

Nice you could weave elements together from various model years.

i like the rims they are awesome but instead of all the chrome i chose to black out the grill to match the rest of the car.
