So glad I found this thread...been wanting to do this on my R58!
The kit is not coming to the US due to lighting regs. The headlight trim, and side markers are the only pieces available.

@ philiptoys, what year is your MCS?

Where did you order the Black Line kit? The only place I've found the tail lights for sale is at http://minigenuineparts.co.uk, any one else know who sells them?

I live in Germany and am wondering if my local Mini dealer could order them. Part number?

I just emailed ECS about the tail trim rings I have on backorder. I was told that they will be shipping out to me either the 12th or 15th of this month.

I vinyl wrapped mine. I did have them PlastiCoated, but it was flat and the trim rings glossier.

I'm a little confused on if the Black Line kit will fit my R56 or not. I talked to my local Mini parts guy the other day about ordering it and he siad it only fits LCI models which he said started in Sep 2011. According to this site http://www.minigenuineparts.co.uk/mi...2_221_487.html they will fit Aug 2010 on word. My R56 was built in July 2010.

So whats the difference from July 2010 to Aug 2010.? I thought 2011 models where the start of the LCI.
