Turn your MCS into an MC for only $24.99!!!

Check out this ebay auction.

It's for chrome grill slat covers that you stick on your MCS black slats to make them look chrome. Now look at the Before and After pictures. Not only do these slat covers magically turn your MCS into an MC, they even magically add chrome inserts!

[infomercial]
NOW how much would you pay?
[/infomercial]

The guy can't even take actual Before and After pictures. How lame.

This was posted on here before, someone has bought the bits from him, so I joked about the 'before and after'.

Question

I just sent the seller this inquiry;

"I noticed in the AFTER picture that your product also removes the hood scoop for the turbocharger. How does it do this, and does it affect performance?"

I'll let you know if I hear back.

Ah, but you missed the addition of the chrome inserts! That's certainly worthy of a new thread!

Just kidding Paul - feel free to delete the thread if you like.

DIY His reply...

Just heard back from this ****;

"Ed,
Those pics are of two different cars, we messed up there accidentally. The top pic is of a Mini S, the second is of a Mini regular. In other words, no performance issues are effected, this is strictly a cosmetic mod. Matt"

As compared to messing up there on purpose?
