Here are a few pics of the Minispares Chrome Pollen Filters (ok, windscreen bezel trims!

) which I have just fitted on my Cosmos Black Cooper.......

Looks pretty good I think !

Looks pretty cool Aiden

Hi Aiden,

I just received my Bezels am I am a little concerned about the instalation. They came with a tube of 5366 Silicone does it dry fast enough? The reason I am asking is that the Bezels don't follow the curv of the plastic piece and when I tried a dry fit I had to hold down on each end to get them to fit. I want to try to install them today so any help would be apperciated.

Mine followed the curves pretty well, I must admit....

I taped the chrome trims to the grilles, tight using masking tape, or you could use small g-clamps like Smiffy did.........I let them bond for around 14 hours or so, but I think silicone dries far faster than that anyway !

If you tape them after you inject the silicone and rub off any excess silicone from the chrome, it should be OK......

I actually damaged one of the retaining clips myself, so the grille doesnt fit back flush on one side now....

Hope that helps !

boblap · May 5th, 2003, 03:17 AM

Thanks Aiden!!

I will give it a try

My way works the bests

epicdream · May 5th, 2003, 06:25 AM

Razor,

Your vents are the ones I want to go for! Didn't a mate do them for you? Shame you can't get anymore done...

I saw similar ones on the New Mini parts website. The only problem is that A) They will cost an arm and a leg to import from Germany and B) They dont have any stock yet!!

I have got my cool chrome side vents through the post and that'll be the first thing to go on my new baby when I get her next Friday

Glad you like them Neill and yes I did get 'em done by a mate

and you're right it is a shame he's not doing the stuff anymore because I'm sure he could have got quite a bit of business from MINI2.

monsta · May 6th, 2003, 05:50 AM

Here's mine

ScooterMan · Jun 11th, 2003, 11:39 PM

I've put the trim rings on, but I've heard through the grapevine that someone now has a completely chrome piece (like on Razor's MINI).

Anyone help out on where to get it here in the US of A?
