Thumbs down

I originally bought a set of these from Ebay, the way mine were photographed was very misleading and it wasn't till they arrived that I realised they looked like a pair of cheap Mexican milk pans with the handles removed!! I still have them (new and boxed) but wouldn't insult mine (or anyone else's for that matter) MINI by fitting them. They are also only 100mm not 125mm in diameter. Getting 'caught' meant I ended having to buy another set (Wipac's). Up to you at the end of the day.

My advice would be - buy the Wipac 's.

In one word ........ NO........ In a few more....... you will need to modify the the brackets you bought, or go for a different mounting arrangement.
