I'm pretty happy with the black line stuff.. wish they would have made headlight washer covers in black, but they were easy enough to wrap with some gloss black 3M.

I gotta see the side markers Steven.. It's just the lights included and not the scuttles, right?

^ That is very clean looking.

I think it comes with the scuttles. If you scroll down a bit, it shows the scuttle on the car: http://www.outmotoring.com/gen-2-bla...er-lights.html

To me, it just looks like the scuttle that comes on a 2012 non-S.

Side markers are the lens and bulbs, no scuttles.

Ohh, thanks for the clarification. That seems a bit pricey for "smoked" lens.

Looks great Steven!

It's too bad the blackline taillights won't make it over to the US. They look damn good imho.

Thanks Scott. I'm wondering if the Blacklines I could order from the U.K. would be plug and play?

Exactly, I don't think they'll ever be available domestically. Something about them not being approved. I don't know if I'm up for buying them in £!!

i think they are, just be sure that they have a backup light in both sides, not a fog lamp in one side

the set i linked to has backups in both sides, no fog lamp

here is another countryman option

euro style tail lights with AMBER turnsignal lenses instead of red, and on the same page, black surrounds

from ecs tuning

http://www.ecstuning.com/Mini-2011-C...ng/Tail_Light/

and here are the headlight black surrounds, but no washer covers

Well, I ordered the black sidemarkers . Can't wait for them to arrive. Just curious, could you technically plasti-dip it? Or is it sealed?

So the Blackline Tailights are no good for non LCI because of the wiring involved is different?

is this correct?

I hear you. Outmotoring has them too now. But I asked my uncle in Europe to order them for me from the dealer there. I received it a few days ago, looks very sexy
