Interesting foot pack you choose there. Was it recommended by the store/shop you bought it from? (Thule website recommend their Rapid Crossroad foot pack via there fitting apps)
Is those the Aeroblade 47inch?
Very nice looking car!
+1... Also interested on details of foot pack (part number) and bar size as I am planning on carrying a couple of kayaks on Thule Hullaport Pro carriers.
I have the black grill, you can order it from the dealer. I can get you the part number if you're interested? It's pricey though, little over $300
How did you get your scuttles out? Did the ones from AliExpress come with instructions?
I replaced my Cooper S with black Cooper (base model) a few days ago. They come off fairly easily: just remove the side marker lens cover (push it towards the front of the car and pull it out from the back end). After that, insert your fingers in that hole and pull hard... it is held by clips that are snapped on the body of the car.
Yeah right, my wife was looking at that also and it was bugging her so much once I pointed it out. She likes everything to be even and symmetrical.
Could be worse! I think I saw some of the earlier production SE's with a blank spot for the other exhaust, almost like the wrong bumper was used. That would have driven me nuts!
Where can I get the blacked out skuttles and door handles?? Been looking all over.
The scuttles in the pic have a black trim cover press-fit/3M-taped over the original chrome, I believe. Same for the door handles - you can find black door handle covers on eBay, and probably ECS/Outmotoring as well.
If you want to replace them rather than cover them, you can get the base model (non-S, non-JCW) scuttles from MINI, which are all-black. (Got mine from Seattle MINI for ~$37 each plus shipping.)
For the door handles you can pick up a set of just the exterior chrome assemblies and have them painted and clearcoated. I'm sending a set off to the guy that does my powder/chrome/paint, and hoping that the removal/install process isn't too much of an asterisk. (That's going to wait 'til way later in the spring when the weather straightens up.)

Here's mine 2017 May built F60 Cooper S with Comfort Package, MultiMedia Package, picnic bench and a bunch of other stuff. Loving the car. It replaced a F56 S Hatchback on account of a small human coming into our life.
Below it's pictured at my parents house who live a 6 hour round trip from me, we needed something that could fit luggage, pram and porta cot. This car really fits a lot of gear in it. Its very cleverly designed.
So this is Parker Blu, a 2017 All4S, I purchased the OEM Roof Rails, and now in the process of getting the OEM Mini Cooper Roof Box, My question to all. Is will it fit in my Garage? I measured from the Top of the Cross Roof Rails. So I need 16 inches or less. My Local Dealership could not find any measurements for this Mini Roof Top Box. Anyone know how tall this is? And if you have installed one, any issues with getting in your Garage. Thanking you in advance.
Almost exactly the same as mine! I felt just as you do. Think of it as "gunmetal gray," and you'll feel better about it. It HAS grown on me, in the meantime.
Yeah that's exactly what I said as far as describing the color. Gunmetal Grey. And yes... it has grown on my. I love it now.
