Where to buy OEM tail/headlight rings.. Or anyone have dark silver ones?

I found a decent price for painting them at a local shop, but id like to order a set so i can have the paint the new ones and i can keep my car whole while they paint... Does anyone know where to get the rings for a decent price? Or does anyone have a set they could sell me of dark silver?

If no to both, would it be alright to drive around without the light trim pieces for a day?

Side note - thinking about doing the hatch piece above the plate. The guy said he'd do everything for the same price if i did it at once.. Is that piece a pain to remove? And would i be able to go without it for a day

Try Lyle's Vinyl Styles. I just swapped the chrome head light rings, tail light rings and gas cap for matte black versions.

Yes you can drive without those pieces. Try your local dealer or Classic Mini in Ohio. Mention that you are a NAM member and get a 20% discount from Classic.
