Maybe, but this 2011 bumper had 5 very noticeable scratches, and every single one of them are covered up now, so this seems to be the sweet spot for protection.

Put the red "4" on it :P, also got the mudguards installed, it makes such a huge difference on dirty roads, kept hearing debris hitting the doors, drove me nuts, none of that anymore!

Only if it's a checkered past!


Your checkers look great.

Paint them tails earlier but way too dark for my taste so removed and apply the a tint. Hard to get it on clean as it curls as you know R60 tails are not like flat. Need to redo one side

Put puddle lights in a couple of weeks ago. Look great late at night. Took about 5 minutes to install.

Nice puddle lights. Installed mine about a month ago. Don't know if you know that you can move the MINI logo around. Just pull out the holder of the logo and use a brand new pencil eraser end to spin it in the housing. Lined mine up so that when you open the door the emblem is looking at you.

Yes, they are impressively easy to install, I received mine on Monday, except they shipped me "BMW", not "MINI". Booo! They're shipping me a new set now, I assume the BMW lamps will work in my friend's X1..?

Well not today but over the last couple of weeks:

"MINI" puddle lights
VIP 23mm Rear Sway Bar & Strut Tower Brace (what an improvement!)
'13+ Cup Holder Upgrade
Install Factory Armrest (up front)

And that's it for now, I'm sure there will be more in the future.

They are the same kind. The MINI kit is just a kit of BMW LEDs. They will work in any vehicle that uses 194 bulbs for the interior.

miniwpbear - Just sold as a kit. Did you buy the MINI kit and missing the checkered version ?


Here are the styles. They are pretty bright and the checkers matches the F56 JCW pro carpet design.

I don't think they are official. Same design, I have been looking for additional inserts for a while but can't find just the inserts.

Ok, yea, I would compare them to the pics we have. Don't know if those ( MINI Version ) will work on the aftermarket version.

Installed the Mini LED DRL/Fog lights. Oh what fun. Front end work is done and they work except DRL function. I still need to run the wire through the firewall and connect behind the sill cover.

Any words of wisdom on pulling the sill panel is greatly appreciated. I watched the video on YouTube where he shows where the lips are and how they slide. I just have no clue as to how to slide them.

Thanks
