Silver


p.s. nice mini

[minimarco]

Leave it silver and let it turn gray on its own. Then if you want silver again, just wash it.

I solve problems.

I'd go for the silver and put deluxe chrome finishing strips down the side personally

Yeah I've been thinking about the deluxe chrome finishing strips,but from what I've read on here there a bugger to put on,they kink badly etc. I bought some of the Huddersfield finishing chrome strip with the adhesive inside,but they are really narrow and kinda don't look right.
Thanks for the replies all,much appreciated,except I've now just today put the Yokos on the grey rims,I'll post up some pics tomorrow and typically I now think I prefer silver..Ah BALLS! Oh well.

I put mine on a couple of weeks ago and it wasn't that bad. You just have to take your time with it. They look so much better with than without!

Just a quick pic,with the greys and Yokos. I'm off to minispares tomorrow to pick up some deluxe chrome finishing strip,think I may leave it till after L2B to fit as I haven't got a lot of time this week and I have a feeling its not the sort of job you should rush.
The grey rims do actually look lighter in real life.

The deluxe chrome trim takes 5 mins max a side to fit, just the use of a heat gun works wonders!

Yeah? I'd been lead to believe it was a nightmare. Oh well I'll try and get it on then,I'll pick up a heatgun from screwfix on the way home tomorrow. Cheers Midas.

I didn't even heat mine, it was useful to have Dad help hold it out the way though as I worked my way along because it does try to coil itself up which is a bit of a pain

[ryan22_lgm]

i think you should have the grey one side and the silver the other so if your feeling in a silver mood one day you can look at that side and if its grey you can look at that. Remember you can only see one side at a time! :)

I will buy whichever set you decide not to use minus the tires! Let me know how much you're looking for? I've been looking for reverse rims for ages. Pm sent

I like the sliver, but yeah both nice!

[Zulu162]

Grey all the way!

[hardwima.03]

I love the silver with the yokos, the grey also looks good, but for me, silver all the way.
Also what a gorgeous mini

[Steely]

Both look amazing but its Silver for me
