I think the black look really suits the GP

KillerByte · Nov 6th, 2007, 12:08 PM

Nice!

Awwwwwww pretty!!!

Now then, you claim to have all manner of super cars in the Mikeylab over the years.... why oh why is there a mk5 Ford Escort in there?

It has got Lexus style rear lights though!

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

Copy cat, i have sprayed mine black,

I wanted to do carbon fibre just stuck with black in the end.

Mine are Mat black, to go with my Aero grill.

Very cool!

miketheman2k · Nov 6th, 2007, 07:14 PM

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

Recently replaced them

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

ned78 · Nov 7th, 2007, 11:26 PM

They're gorgeous Mike, nice installation!
