Dynamic MiNi Collective

Does anyone know if someone makes the wheel well arches and the lower panel between the wheels in a chrome or simichrome or a stainless steel??

I'd like to replace all that black plastic with something a little sharper looking and that doesn't fade as easy.

I've checked with the "usual suspects" (i.e. the most common mini parts dealers) but didn't find anything.

Just a thought - if you can't find chrome or stainless - you might want to consider a product called "Black WOW" It is fantastic for renewing faded black plastic and lasts a long time!

If you want to meet at our next event, I can bring some and let you see first hand...

I have never seen.. and if one did, I can only assume it would be very very expensive.. You may consider have them sanded and painted silver, or a satin silver if that is the look you want to achive.. just a thought.

Looks like a company called QMI makes them...

A couple places that sell them @ a discount price:

Kinda scary that they don't have a photo, also bad that they have one part # for all years/models of MINIs.

A lot of people get their fender arches painted to match body color, other's will paint them a contrasting color. Ask around at the next club gathering to see some ideas.

Thanks everyone,

Those seem awfully cheap in price for some reason. Iwas expecting more. The "no picture" thing concerns me. Makes me wonder what I would really be getting.

I'll look into the painting idea.

Thake a look at Scott's pics on this thread:

His arches are painted.

There are companies that chrome plate plastic! Or another possible alternative would be to have them wrapped in Chrome finish vinyl !
