feybrand · Jan 22nd, 2008, 03:58 PM

yeah but only small ones

BRG/Blk Cooper S · Jan 22nd, 2008, 05:50 PM

Gotta have the spots!!

It's a tip of the hat to the original.

AND..

In addition to Xenons the spots make country lanes light up like broad daylight.
Thought I was happy with just the Xenons, but combination of the two is simply amazing.

Here's a couple of pics..

Cheers, Geoff.

here's the 4 on my old S Works

I have read somewhere on here (and it may or may not be true), that the warranty is affected with 4 spots fitted as engine cooling is affected. Allegedly. Best to check with your dealer if you're still within the wty period, and whether they know anything regarding wty exclusions.

Edited to add - found it!

I enquired about this when I had mine fitted, as I was a slightly concerned about driving to Italy for The Italian Job, but the dealer said it wouldn't cause any problems. I did check with a couple of dealers to make sure too

I'm sure I have heard that the dealers won't fit 4 spots to the R56 due to disturbed airflow.
