Dont forget you have to add reflectors on the bumper with the clear lights otherwise the car will not be legal - and will fail an MOT. Silly but true!

Hi Adam,

There is access to the lamp clusters from the boot as usual isn't there?

Are your clear rears for the facelift MINI? The convertible has the facelift tailights with built in indicators, moving the fog to the bumper. You'll need to adapt the lights to suit.

NewMINIStuff.com sell this kit: NewMINIStuff.com - may be worth contacting mikeythemini if you need help!
