One of the still-not-right parts of the interior of GBMINI#3 is the screws holding the door panels to the door – they really show up with the red matched paint of the trim, and they shouldn’t.
Recently Gabe reviewed the MyMINI knee pad and I wandered over to MyMINIparts to have a closer look … I did actually order a knee pad but unlike Gabe, now it has arrived I don’t think I will fit it; it does not give a perfect fit to the down tube, and it makes the downtube even thicker so increasing the chance of my leg leaning on it. I should have realized that before, but I didn’t.
Also, it fits to the down tube high up and my knee rests below the bottom of the part!
Anyway, while I was at MyMINIparts I looked around at what else they offer and found some “chrome” caps to cover the door trim screw holes! Ordered, received and fitted:
I would disagree with the “chrome” description; they are more like polished metal and have a somewhat rough look rather than the pure smooth chrome look of the factory “real chrome” elsewhere in the car; but for $8 for the set of four, there’s not much to complain about – and they do look better than the bare holes.
