Whats the general consensus on fitting a chrome scoop surround ...... something like this :

I can't quite decide whether or not I like it (would be fitting to a very dark grey Cooper S)

Personally it's not for me but that's the good thing about being a MINI owner you can make it your own ...
At 8000rpm no-one hears you scream !
You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
I don't buy the rush to de-chrome everything, some chrome is good.
But a chrome scoop is hideous IMO. Leave it body colour
Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs
I think the bit that puts me off is the fact that it's a stick on scoop and I'm worried it'd look right out of place. Because the car is so dark the scoop just seems to blend in to the car, but because it's one of the few things that sets the Cooper S out from a "standard" mini I wanted to show it off a bit more (yeah yeah, I have issues ). I think some bonnet stripes right up the middle might be a bit more subtle.
Hmmm ... 2 minutes later .....
Just googled and found this :
Ok, I don't have the chome mirrors or black wheels, but other than that it's identical.... I'm torn.

I prefer the subtle look, if you have an S it’s got the scoop and twin pipes and that’s enough for me to give it a nod of approval. To me that chrome scoop is trying to hard to be noticed.
The fact it’s a stick on could actually make great car look tacky in my opinion.
But everyone to their own and Mini is much better for it.
Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!
If you like it go for it every one is different and so are there mini's I have de-chromed mine
New sig coming soon

Went in to Menzies today, but they quoted it as being a 2 hour job, and after the cost of the DRLs (supplied by them) it's looking to be in the region of £550 I can buy the DRLs (With the same part number) from Stratstone for £220, but it's not something I could fit myself.
