New AC carbonfiber doorhandles

Just got the new molded ac cf doorhandles using new method they came up with. As everyone already nos the first attempts were somewhat unsuccesful since he was not able to reproduce consistent quality pieces. I also had the union jack doorhandles which looked sick but was his first attempt so it had issues which he has since resolved. Since then the cf doorhandles which i ordered 6 months ago finally came around so i decided to getthem instead and happy i did. I also just installed his belt line black out which also looks great except when i went to finish it my sisters dog had eatin the rest of the strip so i have the back and one side done it looks funny oh well ill have to wait for more tape hopefully not to long. Its not to hard to install once u figure it out but i did waste one strip so i wouldnt have had enough anyway to finish. Im confused y everyone is complaining ive never had trouble getting in touch with mike and hes fixed every probem ive ever had everything ive done is from him since i got car 10 months ago it was worth the wait for everything and who else is gonna make parts like these and take care of problems like he does.

They look like they fit much nicer than the ones I ordered in his initial first attempt.

Very nice! So these are just caps with adhesive on the back? Any risk of someone just walking by and ripping them off?

A) they're not that easy to remove.

B) Why in the world would anyone want to steal them when they only fit MINIs ? We know other MINI owers don't steal. Right ??

if you don't mind, what did they cost?

Once AC's has the time I'll have to place an order as well.
