Great news, I've been waiting for this to happen
When you say "facelift", can you confirm that's 2004-2006?
Looking forward to seeing the photos
When will you have the first photos?

Intrested in these depending on the looks.
Quote happy with by £10 LED bulbs though for now (note face lifted lights require different ones to the older lights) just not to happy with the "legality" of them

I'd say R50-R53 with it being posted in the "R50, R52 & R53 - First Generation MINI > Exterior >" forum

I know!
And the photo of us together was by far the worst

Thanks Mikey.
I see that the reversing light is conventional, is the indicator LED as well?
Will they need separate reflectors?

PS: Thanks, the pillars arrived this morning, just after we'd spoken!

Seems a bit silly to go to all that trouble and then stick a standard bulb in the reverse light
I can see most people ordering a set of LED reverse lights off of you Mikey. Best get stocked up now
It was acceptable in the 80's
