the point was the shape of the tips not whether they're chrome or not. The shadows and angles could affect how it looks, chrome or not. One thing though, it could be he difference in year models, but the cooper in the real picture above has one muffler in the center. The cooper s I saw yesterday has 2 mufflers on the sides that then have the pipes leading to the tips in the center, just like the cooper in the game shots above.

There is no different in years, the R53 Coopers didn't change that much throughout their life span. Also all Cooper S's have the muffler in the middle, anything different then that is an aftermarket setup to my knowledge. This at least holds true in the US.
 
It was a stock cooper S, exhaust tips in the middle but the mufflers themselves were on each side of the car. It was a stock car, stock mufflers, rusted out hanger on one side, and older lady driving it. Just like the one in this video.

I'm assuming the one in the picture on the previous page is aftermarket then.

I got my MINI's mixed up, must be late.

You are right the R53 Cooper S's had exhausts like this:

This picture:

Is from a R56 Cooper, meaning it's 2007+. To my knowledge no pictures of R56 MINI's have surfaced with GT and it makes me sad.

** OK that GT5 screenshot wasn't showing up for me, now I have a better grasp on what you were talking about. The Cooper S that is in the GT5 screenshot might have an aftermarket exhaust.

No no, I wasn't taking about the gt5 shot, there was a real mini picture but someone edited their post and it's gone now.
 
Oohh look, turns out this thread is a duplicate of a thread I made way back in April 2009. Someone didn't search.......
