before i retrofit the chilli spoiler to my cooper i was wondering whether i should fit the clear high level brake light?
are there any photos out there of a cosmos black cooper with white roof, chilli spoiler and with the clear high level brake light fitted?
its just ive read that its a nightmare to fit having a spoiler in place already!
oh, and wheres the cheapest and best place to buy one from?
cheers

I think the white high level brake light looks great. If i were you i would fit it before you fit the spoiler as it is a bit of a job to fit when the spoiler is on. It took me about 2 hours, but with a bad neck, pulled muscle, and deglued rear spoiler i did it!

i'm no tim allen but i did it in ten minutes. simple enough job as long as you have the right tool.

I did have the right tools!!! lol. Mine was stuck down really hard with glue and double sided tape so it took a lot of forcing!

what i did was to push the lights through the screw holes from inside the boot.

before fitting it, i was reading on the threads regarding it and honestly, was quite put off by all the horror stories being said. but decided to have a go anyway as i dont like seeing the light lying around going to waste.

it only took me a coupel minutes. definitley do it before putting the spoiler in. my car is an early '02 so my spoiler is mounted by 3 bolts so it was easy. the newer 2-bolt spoilers are a pain from all i've read about them. i have it on my chili red/white roof and it belnds right in beautifully.
