Dont know what to do now.... Here is my car at the moment with the factory grille on..





Thinking I now prefer the all black version on my car--- looks like this



But Im also thinking of getting front bonnet stripes as well


Or i could get it painted so it matches the finish of the rest of the car.


Which combo do you reckon i should go for--- Im thinking black grille with bonnet stripes

Ditto. Although I may consider putting stripes on just to break up the bonnet abit bu tnot with the lights and i think the chrome looks good on the front and black looks like a lower spec imo.

It doesn't matter if it looks like a lower spec - it's a Cooper S, it's good to play down the performance.

Nope, the S is for "Systematroniq" - it uses BMWs Getrag-designed transmission.
