Hey guys, we just dropped another new product for the F56/F55. We were huge fans of the Union Jack taillights that MINI came out with. Unfortunately, the retrofit kit is usually around $500. With all the vinyl products we've been releasing lately, it seemed like we could come up with an alternative.
CravenSpeed Vinyl Union Jack Taillight Overlay
Steve whipped up a nice UJ design custom fit to the F56 taillight lens and we had them cut out of a translucent vinyl. The effect is subtle, but it really adds a nice detail to the area.
Definitely going to add a pair to my order when I pick up the tailgate protector. It released right after I picked up my Gemini mount last month. Dang-it CravenSpeed...you just want to take all my money!
Yep. Those guys are good at that. Been taking my money on a regular basis for around 6 years now. And, I've never been disappointed.
Order is on the way.
What do you have in mind? Anything is possible! If you've got an idea that you can get some other people on board with, it will be worthwhile for us to have them made.

A big middle finger and "stop tailgating me you moron" ? LOL
Haven't thought far enough ahead, just know that I don't want any country flags. Maybe someone else will come up with an idea.
Absolutely! We just need someone local to bring their R60 by the shop to make a template. If that doesn't happen by chance, we'll have Steve make a pattern at the next local MINI club gathering.
Mine arrived in the mail today, and I just finished putting them on. Install was super easy. Took maybe 10 minutes total. I’ll post a pic tomorrow when I get a chance. There’s a small wrinkle in the left side one, but my experience with vinyl tells me that, after sitting in the hot South Florida sun for a little bit tomorrow, the wrinkle will be gone. They are very, very subtle in appearance overall. You almost won’t notice that they are on the lights after the installation. I was hoping they’d be more obvious, but I do like the look overall.

Hey Teach, how do they look overall though? Are they more visible when lights are on? Post a photo or two of you get the opportunity.
Motor on!
