This is for a 2010 R55 Clubman. I want to replace the cheap plastic that MINI puts on the stock cars -- I want actual chrome or chrome-plated for the front upper grill (not the hood scoop, but the actual grill). I might want to replace other cheap plastic MINI trim with real chrome, too, at some point.

Thanks for the help.

 

Custome machine shop is about the only thing I can say that might help. Just FYI it will add a significant amount of weight if you start adding acctual chrome, probably around I would say between 8 and 12 lbs. But I am wanting to drop weight you might want the looks and reliabilty of the real chrome. Also if you take care of it properly(meaning poishing it about once a month) the plastic chrame isn't to bad.

 

you can get stainless grilles from m7. I have them they are well made.

 

Ah, cool! Was it an easy install? Is it the entire front grille or just the grille and not the bezel?

Thanks,
Noah
