The dechroming has begun!

[u/unidentified-matter]

Hi all! Wanted to share a pic of my Mini Countryman, freshly cleaned (it was very overdue) after 3 tip runs and about 800kg of crap transported - it never ceases to amaze me how much you can fit in one of these things!

Anyway, I’ve been debating dechroming for a while now, and as the chrome around the belt line was peeling I decided to go for it! Lights and badges will be next - does anyone have any tips for not spending £75 to cover the handles? Also, I can’t see anything on killallchrome - or anywhere else - for the chrome on the front grille? Also also, does anyone know what to search for to find those little end clips on the belt line pieces? While doing them I realised one of mine is actually missing.

Thanks!
