Hi, started dechroming wifes Cooper S today,
Light surrounds off/on no issues, front rear badges off/on
no issues, Thunder Grey mirror caps off/Black caps onon no issues,
Passenger door handle chrome one off/in no issues,
Driver door of no problem, but do you think I can get the
Allen screw that goes through side of door to line up with
the little bracket that goes over key local to keep handle on,
not a hope, no matter what I do this just will not catch the thread
on bracket, I have take Allen bolt out and checked threads on both
parts, no problems both threads are good and go together when
off the car, on trying to reassemble, same problem, gave up after
few hours, watched umpteen YouTube videos etc , and doing
everying correctly, just wont thread/line up, so have now left
till tomorrow as I'm just about to start nightshift, hopefully a
the Gremlin will disappear over night...anyone any suggestions,
please feel free to comment.

Thanks in advance, Steve.

Now got bit of trepidation on attempting full front grill replacement
(honeycomb burst by pigeon) so new top grill to replace, plus fit
new black grill surround, think that maybe 2 man job, again any
tips on this wild be great, also considering replacing OE side/fog
lights with Halo replacements, (as it will be off anyway) anyone done this ? Best ones to get?
