Chrome hinge pictures

Still choosing the final spec of my MCS. So far it's black with all the trimmings and Cordoba Biege internals. Having seen some of the motorshow pictures, I think I'd like the chrome mirrors but am not sure about the hinges.
I've tried to search for the 'spyshot' pictures but can't find them, could someone point me in the right direction or, even better, take some pictures of the one at the motorshow from the back end.

Cheers, Peter

Am I brave enough to buy biege

If anyone is going to the Motorshow, pictures would still help.

Cheers, Peter

Over here they are a £50 option including the chrome wing mirrors as well. I'm sure it won't be too long until a 3rd party manufacturer will be able to supply them for retrofit.

Cheers, Peter

had fun trying to compress the pictures. It's rotated because of the limitations of the upload-i'll post some more

chrome looked great. following Paul's post i was dreading seeing the chrome rollover bars but they looked alright. chrome mirrors also looked good. not sure what black this is but its sure does show the dirt-have about 100 pictures which i will attempt to batch convert to the appropriate resolution/size for posting

all the vivid colours look odd on the doors (against grey plastic), cool blue looks good though, dark grey on the cooper s does not look as good in the flesh

Thumbs up

The mirrors and hinges get the thumbs up from me, externally this is now identical to my order. I was thinking about switching to Hyper Blue but the black looks really good from the pictures I've seen and we used to have a black MC which looked great with the 17" S spokes and various chrome bits.

Only the decision of the Cordoba Biege v's normal black leather to make now. Oh and HK or not HK

Roll on July 27th!!

Cheers, Peter (Getting less confused by the minute)

i'll post some more pics but if anyone wants the higher def picture versions please pm me (3000*2000, 1MB)-my daughter insisted on appearing in some of the shots and for obvious resons i don't want to post these
i've added hk for what it's worth
ps xenons can be altered electronically for continental driving, mp3 cd is coming, led rear lights are not and it is entirely possible they just forgot to put the chrome filler cap on the MCS convertible
