Interior Chrome On EBAY

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...972871416&rd=1

I was just wondering if any of you have ordered any such or similar chrome off of EBAY. And if so, how's the quality?

The price seems pretty good for a 24pc set, I just don't know how it'll hold up. I don't want the pieces to fall off the first time I close the door.

Looks like the sme kit that was for sale a couple of months ago for $80 US. I'd wait and see if the other vendor is still selling. As for quality, I think someone here bought a set and liked them - but I'd search the archives...

Buy It!

That's a deal.. I bought the same exact set from Triple-C and paid $269.00 as special "package price". (wish I had seen it on E-Bay )

The quality is good, great fit, no problems. (Of course, the steel pieces are nicer but are super expensive).

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I searched the archive, should've done that first. They seem like a pretty good deal for the $$$.

Thanks again!

I bought a similar set and used the pieces that BMW doesn't offer. I am very happy with the quality. Unfortunately, I also paid quite a bit for them. although they are stick-on,they are about the same quality as the original MINI parts and they cover very well so you can't tell the difference. I have quite a few parts for sale if you don't need the entire kit.

I have the:

speedo ring
gearchange ring
the two air vent rings
the cup holder rings
the rear cup holder ring
the steering wheel button covers (non cruise control)

I will sell them for $65 plus shipping.

Thanks for the offer. :smile:

But I think I may as well get the whole set. Mostly for the same reason you did, it includes pieces BMW doesn't offer. I'm really glad to hear these look good.

I've ordered the same exact set. He had some problems not too long ago with a shipment being stolen, so I haven't yet received them. He did ship them last week, I believe, so I should be getting them soon.
