I don't have the photo myself, but my dealer showed me one, it is basically just the top section of the light unit that is clear, the dividing line is pretty much straight across the unit.

IMO looked poor and couldn't see the point in just this little bit being clear

You can if you want clear lights fit the old full lenses, Mikey the MINI has done this and its on his website newministuff, and you will find a link in the sponsor section of MINI2

That looks very nice, Mikey. Don't suppose you got any shots of a Cool Blue that's had the same treatment?

Not here much any more

Hi Garyjp,

I am confused. I cant tell the difference between yours and mine.

I will have a look at my car tomorrow to see whether there is a difference.

What Mikey has on his pic is the pre-facelift lights, they need a bit more work to fit them and work, but well worth the effort IMO, the others, well those are the present light format, both are BMW

I know which ones I shall be putting on my red MCSC thanks for the pic again Mike

Hi Rakey,

The ones which Mike sells were the ones I originally wanted from Mini Park Lane, but they told me that they were not available. When I saw the article about the clear rear lenses for £85 from Mini, I thought that was so cheap. It know seems that that is not the same product as the one Mike is selling. How can Mini UK mislead us ?

Alex

I was anticipating something a little more, erm white than this, but it does look OK in the flesh, goes well with rest of car spec - but £35 is pushing it, IMHO should be a no cost option like the white wheels.

Will live with the car for a few months before considering changing....

Gary
