Lightbulb R56 spots on a R53 Mini GP

They look really good, I asked my local Mini dealer about fitting the Black R56 spots on my black R53 JCW and they said they can't be fitted How easy is it to fit them as I would like a set of these on mine, does anything have to be modified to make them fit? Can you supply a set and how much would they cost

That's a good look, but how often will you use them? Or is that a pointless question because 'minis should have spots!'

My dealer told me exactly the same mate, but I bought 2 complete sets of R56 Black spots (including wiring looms)and 2sets of R53 and R56 brackets. Mikey the magician did the rest haha

I want 4 spots on my R53 Sooper and cos its only year old, I'm bothered about doing too much and voiding warranty. Anyhow my dealer wants 300 for fitting spots and will not fit 4. They say it restricts air flow to radiator, shame really
