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.....

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"

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

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.

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

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!
