Almost anything (almost?) can be retrofitted afterwards when it comes to interior trim pieces from what I’ve seen. You can even retrofit Colorline trim if you don’t have the color you like.

can we get this option if we already have an r56 and get it put in, or is the only way to get it is through buying a new mini?

Nice idea, would rather see black nickel though but either will look really hot.

I’ve dressed up both the interior and exterior of my 02 MC with some shiny bits and really like the look. Will have to see how this new option looks when pictures are posted but it’s always nice to have more choices to youify your MINI.

The plastic chrome pieces on the R56 are heat “welded” into their respective parts, eliminating the potential “squeeks”. Look for this method of application to be the standard with MINI’s in-house chrome/decor applications.

minibetty, the rings chromed or not are basically the same – your creeks are not related specifically to chrome but just to the build of your car … you might be just as unlucky with non-chromed pieces

minibetty – I have an ’06 MCS with chrome lined interior, only 4,700+ miles so far, but no chrome creeks or rattles despite the mine field roads of Ohio. Maybe they’ve worked the bugs out of the chrome interiors?

I have the chrome in my MINI Cooper. I don’t know about anyone else, but the chrome in my car is creaky, especially around the Nav system! I don’t think I’ll choose it for the Clubman.

I’ve always felt interior chrome was crucial as without it the Mini looks cheap. This might be kind of cool. Looking forward to seeing it.

Continuing efforts by MINI to stay ahead of the competition.
