These are now available through MiniMania and Minispares and are in the newest mailing (catalog). I think they look cool, but wonder about the safety of the bars. I did a search and there was a question about their legality. I don't think there is any question that they could be dangerous to someone outside the vehicle, but how would the MINI (and its occupants) come out in an accident? Is this a good or bad idea?

In a minor fender bender they may create more damage than without. In a more serios accident it really would not matter, the mini should perform as designed.
