Hey everyone,
Just lookin at the pics of the new R56 mini, seeing as the grille will stay in place when the bonnet is lifted, will it still be poss to attach auxillary lights to the front. not much of a mechanic meself(!) so just wonderin' if anyone else knows anything bout this....

Should be fine, the driving lights are a popular accessory so I can't imagine them not being available

I was under the impression that the new pedestrian laws pretty much put a fork into things such as driving lamps (as they may impale a hapless pedestrian

).

Could be inset like the Traveller concepts maybe. I have no word on them being an option, certainly not from launch. But who knows what the future holds.

Well my dealer did state (a few months back) that the aux lights would be fitted into the grill, because as MiniVee stated - road safety regulations.

Though guess we will find out on monday
