I've got driving lamp covers (official).. Just wanted to check - has anyone had them fly off on motorway driving?

They do fit well it's just I wondered because they aren't actually held on by anything around the back if I shouldn't use them at high speed? Would like to have the covers on when going on the long drive to Misano to protect them from stones..

I don't have the OEM covers, but would love a part number for them please, so I can get some.

Mini Me GB · Oct 15th, 2005, 03:36 PM

Part no is: 63 12 0 144 065

Don't forget you need two!

Mine stayed on no probs all the way to the french alps with speeds which confirmed certain figures provided in MINI brochures!

They should feel like they clip tightly at the back as well due to the small raised lips in the backs.

Hope you have a fantastic adventure!

yeah i have them and they have stayed on no probs part no is bm63.12.0.144.065 and they cost £5.51 each inc vat.i also masked and sprayed the raised mini logo to make them stand out a bit with a small tin of chrome paint from halford at about £3.50

hope this helps.

Mini Me GB · Oct 15th, 2005, 04:25 PM

Thanks - that helps a lot.. Now at least I know we can drive our two Minis to Misano without worrying about them flying off!

I'm sure we will have a fantastic adventure thanks Yeoda - i'll be sure to take lot's of photos for when I get back..

Mine never come off but the problem I have is that they become hard to take off in the winter. They get frozen on so I don't use them in the winter.

weefossy · Oct 15th, 2005, 04:33 PM

Has anyone got any pictures of the covers on the car. I was thinking of getting them as a Chrissy pressy

Tit · Oct 24th, 2005, 07:40 AM

Further to that...does anyone know of any vendors that sell chrome versions of these?

notts04chillimini · Oct 24th, 2005, 01:41 PM

hi

i have seen these chrome ones on an electric blue cooper s a while back, think it belonged to someone from newminiscotland.co.uk looked ok, but i think a bit over the top

Tit · Oct 24th, 2005, 01:57 PM

Aussiesupermini found them for me....! (thanks Ann!!!)

You could get carbon fibre, or umion jack

I've got the originals, however my MA suggested that I not bother with them. He said they and the tire valves are the most stolen items off a Mini since they don't lock down.

Needless to say they have been sitting in my boot since I took posession in August of this year.

Tit · Oct 24th, 2005, 10:34 PM

yeah...understandable...

Smurf....I saw the 'cf look' ones....I've already chromed the mirrors, so mixing is a little wrong....I do like cf though..

You could always do the CF 'look' mirror covers too and have a winter/summer look
