    Fitted the Chrome Line Interior package to our Red MINI a couple of weeks ago.

    Love the new look, but I think we need the chrome down pipes and the hand brake needs done now. I can see another email going off to Mikey.

    Many thanks to site sponsor Mikey (newministuff.co.uk) for the good price and to MIN Pit Crew chief Craig for his fitting talents.

    We took loads of photo's and I made a few mental notes, so I'll throw a "how to" together as soon as I get a chance.

    A couple of pics. The after pic is a bit pants as it is out of focus - sorry.

    I'm not a fan of the CLI. Had it in a couple of my mini in the past thought I would like it but didn't. Also went for the chrome down tubes didn't like them either. Sorry. I much prefer the plain base model anthracite tubes.

    If it was me I would be getting the leather down tubes to match your dash.

    Best not to listen to me.

    I guess it's something you love or loath. We love the chrome look. Although the chrome line interior on the R56 is much nicer. IOHO.

    But, Lenore pretty well agrees with you Fi, the JCW leather down tubes may be a better way to go. At least it will match our dash.

    Fi, did you not have chrome downtubes in your Chilli Red Cabrio that was sold to Mum & Dad?

    We're planning on changing the head unit, so maybe chrome wouldn't look right. Hmmmmmm.... Needs a re-think.

    And wot's this about me not listening to you.... Check out post #13 in this thread.
