Mirror Caps - yet again
I know mirror caps have been discussed to death, but...

I've been looking for mirror caps that I like and finally found some. The only thing is, they are not replacement caps, they fit over the original caps. This seems like it would be less attractive or not work as well.

Has anyone had any experience with this type?

Brian

I had them on my 04 and they look fine and are usually cheaper cost wise. Go for it

I just didn't know that type existed and was planning to sell the originals. I like these the best of any I've seen. So I should probably get them.

This is what I got. That looks like my car color too, but it's not an MCS.

looks like a version of the union jack in red. Almost a kilburn color pallet from the Gen 2 MINIs.




BTW, really like the SIN City club, great group.

With blue on red it makes a statement . Like the red on blue. Little bit like the mct MINI color combo.
