I have only had my Mini for a week but I have been scouring the vendors to find brushed aluminum trim pieces for the cup holders, base of the gear shift and maybe the side mirror control box too.

I can find lots of chrome pieces -- but I like the look of brushed aluminum so much better.

Anyone know where I can find these parts?

 

I do not know for sure....but I do not think they are available........maybe use your stock to paint and get a flat silver finish? Just a thought! Best of luck!

 

not a bad suggestion -- but I don't actually use the cupholders for cups

I put my phone and garage opener and other stuff in these openings. I think any paint used would get pretty scratched up.

 

Get the chrome pieces then go to town with some steel wool.

 

worth a try .. thanks

I am just wondering if the underlying material is metal or just some chrome plated plastic piece.

I'll try it and see

Thanks you again

 

I've never tried it though. It was just an idea.
