How do you like these scuttles?

I installed these chrome scuttles about a week ago and I am very pleased with them. What do you think of these?:impatient

I have yet to find washer jet nozzles that I like for my 06 MCcSa. Let me know of a source for some plain chromed nozzles. I don't want the long pointed covers the I have seen for sale on a couple of sites. I also want to maintain the heated functionality.

I was thinking about dropping a couple of chrome scuttles into my black car. I may now do that sooner rather than later.

Isn't anybody gonna ask "wherejagitem?" I really like them, but isn't the fine mesh in the OEM supposed to stop the leaves from getting somewhere they shouldn't be?

The chrome scuttles were purchased from newministuff.com. They came from the UK. They took about 8 days to arrive in Ohio from the date of order. They have a fine black mesh screen below the chrome. There is no way that leaves can get through them.

I was prepared to say "eewww, too much chrome", but I actually like 'em on your car.

Not for nothing, but on a silver car, I woulda left the black ones on. On a black car, however . . .
