Does anyone know if it is possible to purchase and fit the wheel arch reflectors that are fitted on American cars, and i think on the GP too.

I think they look quite good and would like to have them - any ideas??

Have a chat with Mikey im sure he will know i think he might have them for sale on NewMINIStuff.com. They need wiring to your side lights, not too hard though.
Hope this helps

Cheers for that!
Iv noticed on his site that they are for the 1st gen mini and not for aero kit. I want them for 2nd gen with aero kit! Oh dear! I'll get in touch with mikey anyway, but does anyone know any other ways of getting these. Are US parts available in UK? - you would of thought so since the cars are assembled here!

I thought they were just reflectors - are they actually lights?

Have a chat with your local dealer - would have thought they'd be able to source them from the factory.

Just found them on RealOEM - RealOEM.COM * BMW R52 Cooper SIDE MARKER LIGHT

That was very useful. I found the r56 version on the same site (RealOEM.COM * BMW R56 Cooper S TURN SIGNAL/SIDE MARKER LIGHT), so i now have parts numbers to go to my dealer with.

I'll trade someone my set off my R56 for theirs. I'm in the US. You would need to ship me yours first though

Did you find a set of these that fit an Aero kit, in the end? I ask as I've just bought a Cooper S with JCW and Aero kit and it's black and what with darkened glass and black wheels looks a bit oppressive from the side. These would break up the profile a bit... plus I just think they look nifty!
