Question Chrome Washer Jets....?

Does anyone have or know where to get chrome washer jets for the MINI. I have seen a few aftermarket versions for different cars but was really looking for ones the are designed for the MINI.

Any ideas guys and gals?

While expensive, the BMW Z8 ones are direct replacements. We will be releasing a set soon as well.

How much are the Z8 ones, I have crappy Neon ones on my MINI just because they are the only chrome ones I could find!

OK, so I ordered some Z8 ones (£40 the pair! - heated though )

And.... They don't fit

Mr Potato, did you actually replace your standard ones with Z8 jets or were you just guessing?

Anyway, my dealer said he'd give me a refund if they didn't fit so all is good

You were lucky, not sort of part they'd usually keep in stock

I think the chrome Neon ones look quite good - just don't light them up!
Have you got your 'S' sills yet?
Send me a pm about MITP.

I had my S sills on at SMD.

What do you want to know about MITP?

Sorry Monsta,

Was talking to Neil, I know you had your 'S' sills fitted at SMD'S - they looked good too. I think you will find this is going to be a popular mod - judging by the other thread. Anyway this off-topic, will not hi-jack it any further.

Hey Monsta,

Is it possible to take off the top part of the z8 washer?
So you can stick it on the original?

Just a thought,

Catch Ya Later,
