Hi Claire,

I bought the chrome surrounds for the pollen filters from MINI spares about £30 for the pair. I didnt want to replace the honeycome filters with all chrome ones as my MCS is
in Pure silver. The chrome surrounds came with a tiny tube of silicone which is useless.
I ended up using the extra strong Araldite which you mix together and sets very quickly.
Once I applied the glue to the inside groove of each surround I had to hold it in place for a good 20 mins to ensure it was firmly seated. They bezels are slightly curved and tend to spring up if you dont hold each one down. Once the Araldite had set the bezels stayed on rock hard. I was very pleased with the result. Do use a strong glue such as Araldite which you mix with a hardener. Anything less then I reckon they would soon fly off after a while.

Hope that helps.
