Default chrome add ons

Ok fellows, I didn't know where to put this question. I would like your honest feedback on the chrome bezels and was it wrong to add a spoiler? Pictures are in the photo album

I am from the old (chrome) school. Love the chrome additions, but I would have gone for chrome mirror covers B4 the spoiler. Just not fond of spoilers on 4 door cars, although it is not garish at all.

Chris over at Mina actually sent the mirror covers by accident. The wifey is thinking about them!

First off let me start by saying I'm not a fan of chrome at all...I have some here n there on my car that it had from stock and is in keeping with the car.

As for your chrome bezels, the same applies IMO....It is in keeping with the car and works well. The spoiler is the boot lid type spoiler, very understated and again works well I think.
Nice job

I think all of the additions work nicely however my first add would have been chrome wheels and the mirror caps, i think they should eat them as it was their mistake and seems like you bought plenty of other stuff from them. You can get them off ebay for about half the price that MG charges :

by the way its nice to see how the MG badges look on the car, its shame they arent a little larger like an R emblem as Id imagined they would be
