Just unpacking a shipment on carbon goodies
I have had these side vents for the R56 done
They are the genuine side vents but with carbon fibre added, we have both black & silver carbon

You get Normal Carbon Fibre and now can get whats known as SSG carbon fibre (Stainless Steel Graphite) which gives it a silvery colour.

Just fitted some of the silver cabon ones to my astro black cooper & they look fantastic. They are well worth the money.

Thanks to Berty for these pics

They look good!

How difficult is it to prise off the old repeaters and fit these?

I'm pretty clumsy and I don't fancy having to use sharp (or even blunt!) tools around the paintwork.

They are really easy to fit. All you do is lift the bonnet & slide the repeater towards the front of the car & then pull the towards you. Then all you have to do is lift a clip to take the wire out of the bulb, then do everything in reverse to put the new one on. It only takes a minute to do & well worth it.

South Shore Lad · Aug 9th, 2007, 08:39 PM

not got the vents yet, but have done a 'dry run' of removing the current ones.

Yes, it is a pretty easy job - thanks!
