On the R50, the front bumper has two round bump strips and the rear has one long strip. They can be chromed on the chrome package equipped cars - I've seen "textured" black bump strips on two local MINI's... were these painted or is there an aftermarket tape-on black cap? Without a factory chrome package the bumpers don't have tab holes for these.
 
 
If there are tape-on aftermarket caps, I can't find them. I'd rather not paint myself for fear of paint runs but I really like the look...
 
Just trying to get some cheap "mods" before the annual Leavenworth cruise (http://www.leavenworthdrive.com/index.asp) since my Cooper is still so normal.

They were probably painted, vinyl wrapped or plastidipped.
