Just a word of caution.

I painted the insert myself using the MINI spray paint and laquer.

Mine's been on around a year now and the laquer is starting to yellow??!!

Also the petrol spilt on it over the year has started to bring the laquer off!!

I've re-laquered it as a quick fix, but I may either get it re-painted by the dealer or see if I can get a painted one from a MINI parts supplier (the dealer may start with the S vin number thing again if I try and order a pre-painted one from them!

)
