Clubman Taillight Chrome Trim Ring DIY

I created some taillight trim rings for my 2013 clubman last summer. I was never happy with the "undressed" look of the lenses in the rear door openings. i think these rings dress matters up nicely. they have been on the car for well over a year- through the harsh 2014-2015 Upstate NY winter and a bunch of car washes with no signs of degradation or failure. I have a PDF attached to this post with the installation explained. pretty cheap and easy to do, too!
