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.
