voted black, not normally a fan of black grilles at all, but it really works on this car!

I voted wrong by an accident 
I wanted to vote black, but pressed chrome by an accident.
The black grille looks the best, makes the car look really nice and stands out really well!

I think I'm going to go for the black one.
The chrome looks too common I think and the orange looks too much.
I think the black just balances it all very well.
Sadly, I don't think they make a a black full slat grille so I've ordered a chrome one and I'll just have to paint it
.
Thanks to everyone who commented and voted, it's much appreciated.

... with an orange surround for it, right?
...it'll look good as long as you do the lights too and it wont be "in ya'face" either

I'm not fond of the idea of getting rid of all the chrome, it wouldn't be a Mini if it didn't have some chrome!

Black Grill, chrome surround! Also maybe add a polished wall to your rims

But it also has the opening for an external bonnet release, I want an MK5 grille effectively, they never made them in blackmy mini came with a black grill.
.I'm pretty certain I'm going black grille with a chrome surround
. Just need to get the car in a state where it's ready for a grille now!

If you find two, maybe you can remove the slat with the opening and replace it with a shortened slat from another black grille. IIRC they'r just riveted onto the grill's frame.
And yes, black looks best, in my opinion. Less is more or something like that
Cheers,

ive looked at this for a few minutes, and as the photoshopped pictures look, chrome for me would be the obvious choice, but, if youre spraying the slats the same gloss as the car, i think that'd look pretty good
