M O D I F I C A T I O N S : INTERIOR, Chrome parts

check the page about alloy parts as well.

One important place to go shopping if you want some chrome parts fitted to the interior of your F: Chromdesign (http://www.chromdesign.de). I first saw a car with bits and bolts from Chromdesign on the first German MGF Treffen. A few months later, I ordered myself a set of shiny things.

1) C h r o m d e s i g n

ChromDesign is a German company selling chrome and chrome-look-alike parts for some sporty cars, like the MGF. They are offering two ranges, namely chrome and polished parts. They look the same, but the parts with a chrome layer have a better quality.

First of all we have a ring which needs to be mounted around the bag of the gear stick. The second picture shows us parts that will go around tha handgrips in the doors. The three rings from the third picture will fit nicely on the dash around the knobs (see also picture above). 

ChromDesign also offers parts that need to be glued around the airvents.
