Actually this is the standard equipment, just like here in Dubai, the others come with an additional option called : High Gloss shadow line (part of the sport package in US). This includes:

High gloss black lining around the windows.
black painted mirror frames.
black water sprayers.

I got this option coz I had to order it in advance, else I would've gotten the silver lining.

Actually in the US, the Shadowline trim is part of the Sport Package. Also included are Sport Seats and the 19in staggered wheels. You can't purchase the Sport Package components separately here in the US it's an "All or Nothing" option. If you don't get the sport package you get the chrome trim, regular seats, and the standard 18in wheels.

yes, but if i had equiped my car with wheels and soem other stuff that would've been nicer, but if i had the car just standard without wheels etc. the chrome package seems ok i think!
