Hi SiNNeD,

It's my MINI in the pictures and sorry to disappoint you but, NO there are no lights in the side Cooper S grill. It is the flash from the camera that lit up that section in the photo!

Sorry!

Would have looked cool though!!

Bump for Pauls benefit

Paul · Nov 21st, 2005, 09:27 PM

Thanking you!

Would the colours of the rear light wires be different for the '05 onwards model years do you know?

And where do you get silicone?

mikeythemini · Nov 23rd, 2005, 07:46 AM

Cant remember if the colours are the same - think they are, just follow them to the front sidelight bulb you cant go wrong
Silicone - builders yard, DIY shop

Waits pics

Paul · Nov 23rd, 2005, 08:14 AM

OK. Silicone sealant right?!

I think I may have some already.

Paul · Nov 23rd, 2005, 06:20 PM

Three down...

Mikey, the piece I took off the front was a different shape the one that replaced it. The one I took off has a "lip" that goes beneath the central grey plastic trim, the new one with light doesn't. Is this the same always, or a new thing for 05 or maybe 06 model year?

Also, at the rear, the topmost clip was a REAL pain to get in.

And I also need to find the part number for the rubber gromit that goes in the passenger side. Not that I lost it in there SOMEWHERE or anything!

Paul · Nov 23rd, 2005, 08:31 PM

Here's a sketch...

How many mega pixels was that camera

Paul · Nov 23rd, 2005, 08:39 PM

Believe it or not I drew it myself.

Do these still light up properly at night? I like the look of the a solid black arches during the day, but it still needs to be legal at night... And do they work on the S too?

Looks like its just the camera flash!

Paul · Nov 24th, 2005, 11:02 AM

Just a FYI.

If you happen to misplace a grommit, they're the same on an '06 S (privately owned) as on an '02 MINI One (company car). Might be useful for anyone with a similar domestic vehicle situation as ours!

Thanks Abi.

If you mean the letter S, they glow like that under sharp lighting. Not so noticeable unless it's in a photo.
