Don't think this has been posted before but its such a great solution compared to the mini reflectors thought it was posting just incase.

In Halfords you can buy slimline door protectors that have little reflectors on them. About £3 a pair. come with a sticky back so just stick on.

They are particularly good for a cooper S as they replicate the shape of the 2 rear grills in the bumper. Stuck mine onto the black trim at the bottom of the bumper and they look superb!

Checked with the Policeman next door who says they are legal too.

Would post a photo but unfortunately don't have the right equipment.

Anyone getting the white rear lights should defo check these out in halfords!!

PS. wanna get an induction kit for my cooper s, like the look of the rogue engineering one but where do I buy in in the UK????

Cheers.

Garther - thanks for that. Mines due two weeks today and I was just starting to think about what I'd use for the reflectors.

Cheers

make sure the garage dont fit the mini reflectors to your car then! not only do they look awful (IMO) but htey'll charge you a bomb for labour. I would fit hte lights myself too if i was u, its easy and only takes about 30mins

The clear lights a very easy to fit. 1 10mm nut on each.
The high level brake light is held in with 3 torx screws
the only difficulty is that it is a tight squeeze to get out on the cooper with chilli spoiler. Dead easy on the S
Hear are the door reflectors in use on a cooper & S
