Thats what I thought too when I went for the chrome side repeaters for my old One. I went for the plastic shark grille ones and though I liked the look they were cheap plastic with chrome effect and one of the retaining clips broke as I first inserted it so I had to use sticky pads to hold it in which didn't always work. Just my luck! Rubbish. Its a false economy to go for the cheaper plastic ones as these were £40 anyway. I much prefer the Moss MINI ones above. And If I was to do it again I would go for them as they much improve the look of the sides.
Some have chromed their original sets? Don't know how much that would be?
