the black looks very different and unique but nothing beats chrome......

black looks nice, and distinctive, would really finish it off if you had a black roof. I reckon you should stick with the black, for the sake of being different.

the black bumper looks great there wit hthe grille havnot being entierly black, like pics of your mini i have seen. i'm not sure how it would look with a full black grille.

mabey black bumper with that grille and chrome with full black grill. i think we need a photoshop someone.

all black may work but i can't picture it.

i leave my vote undecided for now.

The bumpers would look great powdercoated black.

I might be putting too much thought into this, but why not get some moulds made up and then have fibreglass bumpers instead? You can paint em black pretty easily...... and make new ones whenever...... hell, you might even be able to sell a few :wink:


Beanie's race car has fibreglass bumpers on it that are painted body colour.... you can't even tell theyre not steel 8)
