Cooper in the MINI Build page

being building different configurations of the Cooper Non-S, and before it would show chrome grill, but lately i've been seeing the car with a black grill.

is that the change for 2016?

Thanks

Went to motoring file and found out that the 2016 Cooper now features a piano black grill instead of the chrome grill it had in 2014 & 2015 models.

It wasn't chrome, it was silver. But that sucks, I actually really like the silver grill.

Yah,I like the silver grill, looks good with the dark colors, like on yours. What color is your car by the way? Looks really good with those wheels.

Mines British Racing Green. It's kind of hard to see in that photo.

Yes for 2016 what used to be Silver is now black, huge improvement imo as I hate the Silver as it is now where else in the car. You can go with the external chrome package but won't change the grille.
