These are hideous! They take the cake for the worst aftermarket lights. Worst of all, theyre made by APC. *Blach, cough, barf*. They sicken me...
Carbon Fiber Altezzas

Yes, I believe those are the worst looking aftermarket products for the MINI I have yet to see

I can't say that I think it is an improvement.
I don't even think it would make my list of 500 mods to do with my MINI.
Thanks for the link anyway since there could be a person on the look out for this product.

It just goes to show ya, you cant spell "CRAP" without "APC".

They may appeal to some, but not me.

Pretty sweet the way it gets rid of the upper light altogether.

Dear Lord those are ugly. Makes you wonder that someone out there is proud of that design. ..."I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your Soul."

Yeah, but think of all the weight that carbon fiber is going to save!

Speaking of which, I've decided to switch to carbon fiber boxer shorts for all future motoring excursions.

Ewww, those lights are quite ugly. They may look half decent on a black Cooper, but I'm not even sure about that.
