Anyone have the Moss Mini Cooper chrome side vents?

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has purchased the Moss Mini Cooper chrome side vents - the ones I'm talking about are the direct replacements for the originals.
These certainly appear to be good quality, but it's always difficult to tell from a website picture.

Thanks, Geoff.

Yes, I have them, I was pretty happy with them, not 100% perfect but I am exceedingly fussy and I was still happy with them. They did take ages to arrive though - I was told they were lost in the post - I had to make a couple of phone calls to America and email some woman and then she made me fax her a letter to say they hadn't arrived before she would send replacements. Once they arrived they were good. I put them on my Hyper Blue/White Cooper - look good. I am now awaiting my R56 Cooper S so I will be selling mine! PM me.

we have a set on the GF's cooper, they are the best aftermarket ones in my opinion as they are actual chromed metal and match the original styling

The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?

I've got them!

They really are exceptional quality! I bought a set of shark fins on eBay but didn't even fit them due to the flimsiness of the plastic. The Moss vents are solid metal, really good quality.

You get what you pay for in life

Here's a pic taken after fitting them 18months ago, I'll get a better closeup for you tonight from my home PC.

Another vote for Moss chrome side vents, they're great quality, easy to fit and look absolutely superb
