Chromaholic Pictures--05MCS Blinged Out-20 add ons!

Thanks to my High Tech friend and fellow NAMer-- Countryman--I now have pictures of my 05 MCS in my gallery. I apologize for not having the antenna base chromed--due to larger antenna base for the '05 I am waiting production. I have decided against chrome wheels--too heavy. As it is, I now have added "150 pounds of chrome" . Might still have to get the interior chrome toggle switch separators. Thanks for letting me share. Nick

I suggested toggles and downtubes inside, and replacing the black trim with chrome all the way around on the outside.

And 22" spinners, of course.

What about the rear license plate surround? Oh, and some diamond plate floormats, I've got them and love them.

too much bling for me also.

as far as rims go look for some thin spoked chrome rims, while they may be a little heavy they will be lighter then the bulky solid rims you find on SUV's

I like everything but the chrome on the pillars. IMO, that looks like a bunch of adhesive chrome from Pep Boys and cheapens the look of the car overall.

But the rest works.

Do you also ride a Harley?

More bling than I like, but it is a pretty cool ride. after all MINI is about expression.

You forgot the lower front and rear grills...ya gotta get those. Look into the Centerline RPM wheels. You can order in a polished forged wheel that blings and is only 13# in the 17" size. Center caps for the interior vents and the support posts for the console can be done in chrome. You my friend have a long way to go .

Not enough

I think you should have the black plastic trim along the bottom of the body and wheel wells chromed, along with the lower front and rear grills. And of course a chrome roof cap.
