Hello fellow Mini Canadians! I just ordered my first Mini and can't wait to get it. I'm killing the time by thinking about what I'm going to do to it when it arrives. At first, I'd like to add some chrome to the exterior - mirror caps, side market lights and the hood grills.

Anyone know of any shops in the GTA that sell/install accessories, as well as do performance for Mini's?

Looking around online, I see that there are many places that sell covers that stick on with tape. Has anyone tried these before? I'm reluctant to use them, trying to find the real thing that replaces the part, rather than sticks to it.

Thanks!

 

Coopersport is one Canadian source for parts and accessories - www.coopersport.ca. I ordered a few items (Mini sunshade, seat back pulls, centre console tray, etc.) from www.outmotoring.com - a good US site for upgrades, or at least to compare prices.

Chrome mirror caps are available from the dealer as well as aftermarket and aren't that hard to install, according to threads I've read on NAM. I was tempted to pick up a set myself but decided to stick with the blacks in the end. The grille is already all chrome so not sure which part of it you wanted to add chrome to... ?
