Great looking MINI. Gotta ask, that gap between the bumper (from wheel arch all the way across) looks perfect, was it like that from the factory?

I hadn't noticed...it's been that way since I got it...

Paul, I didn't know you had a CRX too...mine was actually an 86 but the Mugen had recessed lights so I made light mounts...

I don't know wtf is with NAM but this thread shows 29 pages but I can't get to it...

Do you have any photos of those lights in the dark? Without glare if possible.

looks good, i need to get some HID's into my spyder lights, do you have the HID's in the high beams?

im also curious what you did with the wiring to do the LED strips and the angel eyes.
mine are setup now, that the low beams are turning on with the LEDs but i want them on wihtout, and with the angel eyes, you wired them into parralell with the LEDs? cause they sent lots of wire for that haha


i also want some angel eyes in my running lights

Yes, high beams are also 55watt HID...I had to run wiring from both headlamps under the hood and down the hinge arms to connect to park lamps as there were no OEM power for such function...

Bummer...go to start my Mini and all dash lights are on but nothing for ignition...no click, nothing...battery connections solid and reads 12.7v...

I've searched the web and checked clutch safety switch, took apart the ignition switch...have no clue...I suspect the worse as I might have a bad starter?
