Interior/Exterior Crack or chrome interior pieces...
#1
So which costs more?
Geez, I thoought about adding a little glitter to my interior so I jumped over to the Mini accessory retailer du jour and WOW!!! $50 for just the rings around the dash top vents. They are tiny. I'd pay maybe $25 for these, but $50!!!!!! The "complete" kit is like $360!!! Is it just me or are Mini chrome parts 2 to 3 times the cost of chrome parts for other car types? My iPod cost less than that!
Hmmm, lets see. The ENTIRE MCS gas cap conversion including all its complicated to make parts cost $85. Then, go and rechrome the trim ring for it and now, just the chrome trim ring costs more than the entire assembly at $90. See a problem?
Vendors, give me a break!!!! Maybe at first, when few people sold them, you could justify the cost, but now that everyone is selling them......???? You'd sell a lot more if they were more reasonable.
I personally will look for other ways to jazz up my interior.
