I'm looking for a door edge trim similar to the one described below. Does anyone have one they've used with their MINI that they like very much? Had a close call the other day with a rock wall and want to make sure I never chip up the edge of my doors. Thanks in advance.

I just have the black plastic kind you wedge onto the door edge. As long as the edge is uniform in thickness, it will stay on ok, and is a cheap solution. I think I paid around $4 for a pair at K-Mart. I think they also come in chrome and clear plastic finishes. They are a bit over a quarter inch wide and are U-shaped, running about 30 inches long, each.

Another solution is even cheaper, and that is to use those 6-inch edge guards. The only problem is that I've only seen them in clear. They are also more visible, wider and could therefore fall off more easily. They run about 88c each, at Advance Auto.

 

I use a self-adhesive door edge molding...

it's not a "U" shape, but it has a lip wraps around the edge of the door. I got it from the
recon dept here at work, it comes in a roll.

 

I got a clear trim that i got from auto zone and it works perfect, i think that the chrome one looks kinda tacky (no offense to anyone that has that )

 

Just don't put the chrome trim on. It is way to ghetto and doesn't look good.
