They're the stock xenon headlights with a clear turn signal bulb, and I can't see a lens on the turn signal. The ring around the light has been painted black.

BS.

The exclusivity is that there were 498 factory JCWs imported to the US for the 2009 model year out of a total of somewhere around 45,000 other MINIs.

The trim ring was painted or has a wrap on it.

Worried about the kind of dealer this outfit seems to be. (Reading between the lines , and maybe theres nothing there )

So why would somebody put a aftermarker Nav unit on a car with Nav?
Is the Garmin that snaps on this mount the one that has gauges and stuff? Is there something else I can mount on the thingie?


Workin on a aquarium for the new car so maybe the garmin would come in handy
