It took 5 minutes to replace. Didn’t even mind that it was a little cracked. Got it fast. Affordable price. Didn’t even bother to ask Mimi dealer for estimate.

Installation en quelques minutes, les fixations étaient parfaitement alignés. Je ne vois aucune différence avec la pièce OEM qui coute trois fois plus cher. Très satisfait

This looks good and fit perfectly. DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR OLD SCREWS. You need the 4 screws and the unit did not come with any. If it had, this would be a 5 Star Review.

The trim piece came with the clips attached so all I had to do was pop off old clips that had broken and stayed on the car from the original old broken trim. I unscrewed the 4 screws and then popped the new trim in and re screwed the 4 screws. Amazingly easy and now it’s back to the cute mini it’s supposed to be.

I am not a mechanically inclined person. I was worried I would mess this up when I put it on. It was easy. It looks great and fits perfectly. I am very happy with it. If the trim on your MINI is looking bad, give this product a try. Hopefully it holds up over time.

No fuss installation. Hold on to the previous screws, may come in handy, the plastic anchors came with the product.
