Mini puts the Cooper under wraps in France for special Mat Edition
Filed under: Europe, Hatchback, Mini
The Mini Cooper may be as German these days as it is British, but it’s proven popular all around the world. Like in France, for example, where the BMW division has announced a special Mat Edition.
The special factory offering is exclusive to the land of baguettes and white flags, and comes with a black matte-finish vinyl wrap, checkered mirror shells and special side grilles. French customers will find that they can order the package in 118-horsepower naturally-aspirated Cooper trim, 208hp turbocharged Cooper S or 110hp diesel Cooper D.
The package adds €2,800 (about $3,800) to the purchase price. Only 250 examples will be made, and underneath the vinyl wrap there’s reportedly still the factory paint (in black, we’d guess), so if owners get tired of the matte finish, we suppose it could always be removed. Press release (in French) after the jump.
