TGGRRR (Ali) Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 ugh, that's a lotta chrome. Did you see the note that too much chrome is actually illegal in many states? Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
68wmcs Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 ugh, that's a lotta chrome. Did you see the note that too much chrome is actually illegal in many states? I don't know if it was posted here, but someone actually had a MINI Cooper painted chrome for his wife but was illegal in whatever country/state they are in. Here are some Google images: http://www.google.com/search?q=Chrome+mini+cooper&hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=B5opULnpGNGJ6gGw5YGAAw&ved=0CE8QsAQ&biw=1280&bih=680 03 BRG MINI S: Sold! 05 PW Scion xB: D2 Coilovers, XXR 531 16x8, Yakima rack, Yakima basket, WINK, Plaid interior, and a whopping 108 HP!

cmcveay Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 Coming from me, this will shock everyone by why all the hate at chrome? It's got it's place in the world! You'll notice I've never used the term "murdered out" and that kind of thing, I just choose to remove the chrom from my car but I can, and do appreciate and recognize the fact that done in moderation, chrome can work. I loved it when I opened the hood on my 72 Chevy Nova, 72 GMC Pick up, 63 Chevy Pick up and yes, even my 77 CJ-7 with their chrome valve covers, polished aluminum intakes and all kinds of "bling" under the hood. So be nice to the folks who like their chrome and let's just respect our differences. Besides, if everyone got rid of their chrome, we'd all look the same and then it would be "MEification" instead of "YOUification"... 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
SbNimble Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 You'd have to give the MINI a name in latin....chromus reflectus!
cmcveay Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 or a FAKE latin name like - Blindicus Allofus or Causeofda Wreckipus... Or better the really long name - alottablingisalottawork... 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

Granted, an ENTIRE chrome MINI is waaaayyy past my limit, but little touches here & there is just right in my book. :top: Coming from me, this will shock everyone by why all the hate at chrome?

bobesser Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 I dunno, I kinda like it. What about the Delorian? It was Stainless Steel - not too far off from an all chrome car. Bob
