Translation: I stole these from a neighborhood MINI and then, in exceedingly poor taste, had them gold-plated and concocted a story about having them made for the Cooper that I recently had to sell.

Anyone from that area missing at least a badge? How difficult is it to get the grill slats off?

I'd like to see that on a Gold Cooper. Gold on Gold baby. And maybe some 22 inch spinners too.

I'd do a gold plated shift **** or dash rings before I'd gold plate anything on the outside.

Too many thieves waiting for booty on wheels!
