Lamp Covers

[Cooperpot]

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone can answer my question...

I have the 2 BMW MINI additional headlights. Can i get protective covers for them or are these just for aftermarket lights?

Thanks

can you get the whole cover in chrome? If not, i'd be interested in getting some with the chrome lettering. Also, how much are they?

Cheers

Is there any actual need?

Around £5- each direct from local BMW Dealer (also posted to me from them for free).

It cost around £20- to have a local Auto Graphics Shop make up the Chrome letters to fit on the raised portion of the covers. Being as the Design & Sizing work is already done & presumably stored on their computer, I guess it would be around £10 to have them just send out the letter cutouts to you for a self-fit . PM me for their details if interested.

Thats a bit of a specialist job, but I bet the Japs are on it

Well, heres the thing ... Its all about The Look.
Do people care if their Roof spoiler dont do anything below 80mph ??
Does an Aero Kit really make your car Faster ??
Do Red Callipers really stop the Car that much Faster ??

...& Do I really drive everywhere on Full Beam just so I can have the Spots Blinding everyone ??
Personally, its just another bit of Styling that adds to the MINI`s Uniqeness

Unfortunately the Bits that rust are still exposed >> Rusty Nuts

I like the chrome lettering

i have the after market set of 4 lights from mini sport....and i got the covers with mini cooper on them, they are see through and look really cook, but although those black ones with the lettering are nice...i dotn see the point...dont u have lights so u can use them? nothing looks better than flashing other minis with extra lights!!!

But surely that defys the whole pupose of the spots and secondly dont spots look god without being covered up???

It's like Restyle says..its about the look..I think the covers look well smart and will get some for mine at some point..at least with these you can take them on and off at will ..plus when your on a Mini Run or country lanes ( in the daylight ) it'll stop them fron being cracked by stone chips

oh ok...........
