Hatch Handle Question

Hello,

I bought my MCS after they stopped taking orders. Therefore, I couldn't add the chrome line exterior package. I was able to get the chrome grill and mirror caps from parts, but not the rear hatch handle. Does anyone here know how I can get one? Is my only option to take it to a body shop?

Thanks in advance,
Pl4yPl4y

I would recommend offering it to trade in the forum. I know there are quite a few MC owners who I am sure want a AM boot handle to trade for their chrome. They are easy to replace. (I bought mine Am handle from someone on NAM, and sold my chrome one {maybe} to someone in the club)

They're actually pretty easy to come by. OutMotoring (NAM Vendor) has it for sale. If you don't want to go through them you could order it through the parts department at a dealer. Or you could always check out the Market Place forum here as people de-chromify their cars and sell of the pieces.

Thanks for everyone's help! I guess alot of Mini owners are anti-chrome, huh? Not sporty enough? Typically, I don't like chrome things. But, I do like it on my Mini It seems like if I have chrome grills I should have the hatch handle too...for balance
