F56 Gen3 Help
I have a 2017 F56 two door/hatchback and want a specific part but can't find the part on line. It may not exist. I was sent the wrong item, twice by Mini Parts Direct (boy are they screwed up ! )
What I'm looking for is the Rear hatch grip handle in CHROME....and no the car doesn't have a back up camera.
MPD sent me 51-13-7-362-121 (twice) but it was the standard black handle. Does anyone out there have a chrome handle on their car?
Does anyone know the correct part number?
Anyone have one for sale.....or one one in Black that I could paint body color???

maybe
well that maybe proof it exists......maybe Mini Parts Direct are just everyday idiots and messed up their part numbers.....I'm going to Orlando on Monday on a Beer run so, I'll do a dealer stop by and get to the bottom of this....I'm thinking Mini Parts Direct just shoved any old part in a box and shipped it.....That sucks...and they did it twice and they even lied about giving me credit for the return....I had to dispute the transaction on my credit card to get credited. Lying bastards. FYI the guy I dealt with is named " Nathan" he's a real negative to that company....I'd fire his *** if I was in charge over there. Avoid this company and you'll avoid a lot of stress.
Thanks for your input !

plate vs wrap
I know a bit about plating having owned a plating factory for over 25 years....the process is actually called vacuum plating and it is far superior to any vinyl wrap. A wrap is a very thin product where as vacuum plating is a relatively thick product and will hold up much much much longer (and can even be polished if it ever dulls.)...I'm sure you have seen smashed plastic parts where the finish flakes off in razor sharp pieces. That's vacuum plating (sometimes called "metalizing") and you can see how thick it is. thicker is better.
I'll be at my dealer tomorrow or tuesday, and I'll post correct part numbers for the chrome and the black items, to end the confusion that seems to be out there.
