I just couldnt get past the high cost and small size of the factory Rally lights...so I went for it and bought a set of 6" PIAA driving lights, fabbed up some brackets and now Im set. I still need to do the wiring, but I like the look.

What do you all think?

Looks good, but I think you should have got chrome ones like the factory design

Looks good to me, about the right size too!

Any chance of getting the black bit on the lights chromed?

great stuff. I always thought the MINI driving lights were too small too (though now they are growing on me). Have you got a front on view?

Maybe a bit too far apart for my liking (but I'm being 'picky' here

)

not my taste personally, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Its all very well having a model on your dash but you end up wanting to make it look like your real one, finding those minature custom stripes of yours would be a tough job

G8BAD_COOPER · May 1st, 2002, 12:26 PM

Simple Tip-eX and a steady hand.

well ive got a MINI model in my house but i think its going to stay in there, or i could buy the biggest MINI model and put it on my parcel shelf, and then put a smaller one on the parcel shelf of the model..... and on and on and on

minikid · May 1st, 2002, 12:37 PM

Im working on customizing a model to match. Ive done that sort of thing before. In fact if you go to my website you will see a black Mini model that I painted flames on...pretty wild.

Ill post photos of the model once it's done...

Blackdeath · May 4th, 2002, 05:16 PM

Wow! black Tippex... Is there nothing you can't get in the USA???? (apart from Autoglym, apparently)

Big improvement on std extra lights - Looks great. Chroming will only improve

Basil · May 14th, 2002, 09:45 PM

I do like the single stripe.........

Not at all sure on spots of any kind....would like to see them in the flesh.
