Side Scuttles - forgive me!

I know this has been discussed ad nauseum, but whats another side scuttle question gonna hurt?

First, I can't find a nice plain chrome pair anywhere. I don't want a taped on version over the black. But I also don't want S or checkerboard or whatever. I've checked minimania and a couple other places....does anyone have a link to a plain chrome/chrome-plastic replacement part?

Here's the important part. I need instructions! I know I shouldn't...but I am afraid I'll break something. Note, I want to KEEP my orange indicators. I just want to replace the black surround with a chromy panel. I hate to have to go to a dealer for something so simple. I've used screwdrivers and wrenches before, but I'm not terribly confident about touching my brand new car.

Anyone have a good set they recommend that comes with instructions?

Thanks.

And yes, I did search, and I do see the thread that has videos for instructions, but the vids don't seem to be there anymore. As in, link is active, but dead on the other side.

Gracias.

Well when it comes to these instructions are overrated. The scuttles are so easy to remove you don't even need tools. As far as the chrome ones good luck the only ones I know of are the JCW ones. There is the honeycomb black ones and the chrome ones.
