I was browsing through Minisport.com looking for some new rear lights and came across these. http://www.minisport.com/new-mini-sh...s-product.html

Does anybody know if these are for the BMW MINI original spots or are they going to be a different size and will they fit? I really like the look of these , so any input will be greatly appreciated

yep they're for the std dealer-fit 5" diameter spots. i've seen one or two cars with them on & they look pretty good. The other alternative is to get some chrome mesh ones like mine

Thanks for the reply

Your mesh ones look

Can you tell me where you bought yours from and how much they were? I'm thinking that maybe the covers with the laurel emblem might look a bit too much but the ones you have are more subtle.

they were from here - http://www.completeautomobilist.co.u...e/itm00784.htm & only £6.80 each. I' ve had them on for a couple of months now & theres no sign of any rusting.

A word of warning though - you wil have to bend the brackets to get them on but a pair of sturdy pliers does the trick. See this post for all the details http://www.mini2.com/forum/exterior/53410-driving-light-cage-stoneguards.html

Minisport told me that they wouldnt fit the BMW spots but fit the Minisport ones.

The stone guards look better I think

On that note then..I'm off to order the mesh ones. Just had my new rear lights turn up today as well. Prompt service from Minisport

paa100, I'd like to get a signature image like your cartoon-effect MCS... how do you go about doing them?

Richard.
