Just a quick question. Can these be specced from MINI yet? If not is there a preferred NMS site to buy them from these days? :confused:

I'm not sure if you can spec them from Mini (it's not something we looked at anyway) but depending on whether you want them wrapped or painted, you could try Greig Allan. As I said in a previous thread, he did my vipers and has done some wrapping work for quite a few of us...seriously top notch work.

I never thought of getting them wrapped actually. The black surrounds are £40 each on one of the MINI parts websites and I asumed wrapping would work out more expensive than that?

Not a chance.. get yourself a couple of metres of the right vinyl off ebay and diy for a fraction of that ;)
Did mine for less than a fiver myself.. and about an hour and a half of time..
Not a CM right enough.. but same process..

Hi bud if your wanting them wrapped give me a shout I do wrapping as a side line. In fact done mini Williams gp2 last month. I use a high quality vinyl that is fairly robust too.
