Ok, I love chrome, therefore this thread is for bling-o-philes ..

(I signed up for the "BLING meter" group buy from davescumini's interior chrome thread! )

I saw a DS MCS with the chrome hood scoop this weekend...I had no idea it would look so GREAT! Really went well with the dark silver...

So now, I want one (ouchie--they are expensive...best price so far on the german site CTD) and while I'm dreaming, think I'd like
the rear boot handle/license cover...and maybe chrome trim for the pillars (I haven't seen these that I noticed)
I'm posting ad pics of these, but if you have them or something else, show me your exterior CHROME!

Oh yeah, I was thinking about these too--grille vents on the hood...

jmoser, what you need is to do a chrome job on your MINI like the one in the picture.

I am not into the modern bling but I did install the chrome grill in my all black MCS. Most people really liked it as it gave the car a more classic look and doesn't look like a fish with its mouth open anymore.

actually it is not polished aluminum, that is a special Chrome Paint. It's been used before.

Here is a link to a golf cart painted with the same paint http://www.falkentire.com/team_falken/golfcart_06.jpg

oh and here is our chrome shot except now we have 4 rally lights not 2
