I have an Aero kit on my Dark Silver 2005 Mini Cooper S and I am tired of those red and orange reflectors/lights that the U.S. gets. I am not interested in tinting the lights and I have checked into getting just the plastic trim, but it is not available for the aero kit.

So, I am looking for someone without the orange/red reflectors who has a dark silver aero bumper (front and rear) to swap. Both of my bumpers are in great shape. The front has not major scratches but has the usual chips from small rocks flying up and hitting the bumper. I have not checked into shipping, it might be outrageous. Any takers? Any input on the idea? Anybody made a swap like this in the past?

Thanks!

aren't they a necessity in the US? i guess that was why why cars over there have them??

In some states they are required and in others they are not.

does that mean you would have to plan your route carefully when doing cross state driving

surely not? unless they have to stick some reflectors on for driving across states?

thing is, we find it mad that different states have different rules and laws, but their states are about the same size as the whole of England aren't they...

Now that we have addressed the safety concerns, is there anyone out there that is interested? I would love to make this happen and I know there are people out there that WANT the U.S. version...speak up!!! Thanks!
