Has anyone bought a set of chrome grille covers off eBay? I want to buy some, but I'd like to hear from someone who has bought them; to see if they're happy with them.
Thanks,

Hmm looks like the grill froma MC... Couldn't hurt to try it it doesn't cost much. It does say it is for a MCS.

I think the pics might be fakes.......i have a feeling this is stick on chrome strips based on the description of the ebay ad. The Cooper grill doesnt require adhesive.......

I wouldnt touch adhesive chrome with a 10 foot pole.......you can just buy a Cooper grill used here or new at the dealer.

 

and in the pre-face lift, 02-04 R50's, had 4 slats, and the R53 MCS had 3. They later changed that to 3 slats for all versions with 05-06.

I upgraded to the 05 chrome grill as it has a smooth trim piece, and 3 chrome slats. a tad bit more aggressive, IMHO

No poles used for the install.
haha! Just jokes, man.

I appreciate all the comments...that chrome trim in the red Mini is really cool...I wound up buying polished stainless mesh grilles.

Thats not what i meant by adhesive chrome.....i meant that chrome line tape you can buy at autozone thats like an adhesive chrome bar that people outline their doors with and stuff.

Yours is good.....although i always thought it was the aero grill chromed

 

Used chrome grilles show up here in the marketplace all the time. I'd just buy a new one or wait for a used one before I would buy that stick on junk.

 

Good advise..I read the seller's feedback, and buyers were unhappy that all they received was a roll of chrome stickum...
