Has anyone bought 3rd interior chrome trims?

Hello all,

I'm in the process of changing the LEDs in my tachometer/speedo, and have the horrible factory fitted gray plastic rims. I thought a nice chrome finish would set the new look off nicely!

So I jumped onto eBay and found a couple of listings, but they all appear to be Chrome Plastic ABS stickons. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Mini OEM trims have clips, rather than adhesive tape?

Has anyone bought these third party trims before? Are they worth buying? Do they protrude at all when fitted?

Thanks for the advice!
Rocky

The genuine OEM factory chromeline interior kit replaces most of the bezels as here:
JW's MINI: '05 Chrome Interior Install

All are chromed plastic but the ebay versions are thin abs covers which stick over the original bezels/trims so are not quite as good a fit if you look closely but are easier to fit, especially the centre speedo trim.

Good price on genuine chrome interior kit here:
NewMINIStuff.com

However this is the best way to do the chrome handbrake grip:
