I got them all from MiniSpeed, very good i would recommend them.

Still waiting on a chrome petrol cap to come from Chrom Design in Germany.

Got the chrome fuel cap in today, fitted it right away. Looks great! I would recommend this mod to cooper and one drivers, as it is more original than the cooper s fuel cap (everybody has it) and its also cheaper. Will post pics once I clean my mini, it must look good for photos!
Heres a pic it it on another mini

Here, here. I've got one and I like the originality factor, plus I don't feel like too much of an S wannabe, since I've got the S bumpers fitted.

Are these chrome over metal or over ABS? If the latter, how does it look durability-wise? Can you tell the difference from metal just by looking?

I got the decals on ebay. They were very inexpensive, I think the guy lists them for $6.99 for the set plus shipping which was like a dollar. He has a lot of colors available, too. But he is in the US, so I don't know about shipping. Edit: found it! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW

Thanks for the link, I never noticed on your car that the decal has the mini logo as well! Thats so cool! Are yours the silver ones because they look like chrome?
Thanks

Thanks for the kind words on them. I'm not sure if they are "silver". It was probably about a year ago that I bought them. It seems like when I bought them the listing said they were chrome. But when I bought them he did not have multiple colors available, so it may be.

Think you need to put the chrome grill back on it now.

I did the opposite and de-chromed my car.

Nah, I feel I have the right balance of silver, chrome and black. Putting the chrome grill back on would be over the top. I had planned to keep it on at first mind you.
