Well, I picked up my first Mini about 2 months ago and have been in love ever since. Here she is!

A nice little 2003 Cooper S. I have a few plans for her, so I'm sure you'll see me posting plenty of questions around here in the next couple weeks =P

 

That's a good lookin MINI. Lovin the PIAA lights on the front.

What are you plans?

 

I'm really wanting to replace the grilles with the black mesh ones that 7m makes and replace the factory deck. But the new grilles means no more PIAA lights =(

 

Welcome to NAM!!!

 

How about if you bought the grill with the cutouts for the OEM light brackets? Will the PIAA lights mount?

 

Thanks for the welcome! I'm not sure 7m makes grilles with the cutouts. I've just recently came across them, and havent seen any photos with the grill and lights mounted to them. And honestly, I'd rather have the grill then the lights. They came with the car and I DO like them, but to me, the grill will look better than the rally lights.

 

The PIAA brackets could be used with the M7 grilles.
You would have to cut 2 small slots for the brackets to fit thru.
Dremel tool would do the job.
