Just picked these up cheap as I wanted something different until I saved for some Minators....
Can't decide if I like them or not so I thought I'd run it past you all....
Let me have your comments truthfully pls. Don't worry - you won't upset me

Hi they look ok - how about painting the lozenge shape trafalgar blue to go with the car? It might lighten the look a little. Just a personal suggestion mind.

Yes Lou, that could work. The picture doesn't show the scuffs so I was thinking of re-painting them anyway.....

not my choice im afraid,keep it standuard untill you get your alloys

i like 'em, there different. i agree that they would look better with matching paint though.

They will do fine till you get the Alloys. Remove the bumper over-riders and then compare the difference.

I'm worried what I might find behind them

Am I missing something? How will removing the over-riders change the look of wheel covers?

I think its all down to the overall stance of the vehicle - makes it look like a "Dragster"

More like Drag Star me thinks, very 70's spiderman look

I have to agree with RogerRust.
You didn't have to say they were cheap, they look it.

Oh how I love to be different ;-)

I like them... certain amount of novelty value, I admit, but they're better than none, and smarter than scruffy originals like mine. 'course it could just be the camera angles

Don't think I'd use them on a non-2-door, and not sure they'd go with a different colour car, but they work.

Awful.... sorry.

My 2 year old just informed me that he doesn't like them and won't go to the moggie show with me unless I change them back

Well you know what they say"Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings...."!

Reminds me of 1970s Datsun Cherrys and such like. Sure they had that sort of style trims on. Not sure they suit a Minor but very individual and makes a change, at least short term anyway

That's an improvement on my 19 year old - he's never been in the car!
