Try ebay. most folk went for chrome, so pretty hard to come by.

you could try and paint them.

The boot handle shouldn't be problem as it's standard on a basic ONE - the front grille (upper) is either fully chrome or colour coded and chrome unless you get the aero-kit black plastic one which is criss-cross rather than slats. The door handles are a plasti-kote spray job i'm afraid!

Don't forget you'll still have the brightwork chrome around the bottom of the windows ets.

I was going to spray the whole chrome with shadow laquer so it will look like black chrome but i will have to wait til i move and set up my workshop. but i want it done yesterday because i am impatient

Ahem... The bottom part of the grille on a One is black... unless you order the chrome pack... :p:p
Like this one (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-Mini-One-Front-Grill_W0QQitemZ4603527435QQcategoryZ100916QQssPage NameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

(unless things have changed on the facelift models...)

LnL - the ONE comment was only meant to be relative to the boot handle :clown: should have explained more - yes your right as it's the MCS grille which is colour coded (unless it's a black car ;)) however the MCS grille has one less slat!

Yes the black inner would look ok Im not quite sure if the small bits of chrome should stay or go perhaps i should post a new vote poll called chrome or black see what everybody else thinks peoples opinions are usually truthful so that might be a way to find out

If you're gonna be REALLY picky... the Diesel has the same MCS grille (with one less slat :p:p;))

It's a sort of 45deg move - new company is called morris & spottiswood - might be working on the primark store opening in Dundee soon.

The vectra's only a hire car for the 3 month probationary period - then it's a choice of mundaneo, vectra or accord - bit of a no-brainer really!!
