Is this the four-light kit? I would like to see a photo when you get it mounted because I have been considering this for myself. How much was it with shipping if I may ask?

Just picked up car last week. Bought the Piaa 540 kit from Gforce www.gforceautosports.com for $209 for complete kit delivered.

Dealer installed in 2 hours, versus 4 hour charge for Mini package, and they loved the ease of install. Even did it for free since I went crazy with JCW engine and brakes. Look/work great.

Did 04 kit work on 05?

Anxious to the see the pic. Just went to the link you posted, and the only part I saw was for MC & MCS prior to 05. Is that the same kit you had installed, or did I miss something?

I took this photo of the MINISPORT bar at a show. It did look nice.

Despite LOADS of posts about Driving / Fog lights ... no-one has addressed the answer to the question " Why not mount lamps directly onto the Bumper?"

I can see no reason why not apart from having to drill thru the bumper cover, which is no problem to me.

Ugly option. There are better ways to mount out there, like through the grille.

Why deface your bumper? What happens if you don't want them in a year or two, or you have to sell them?

Not to mention, how's the bonnet going to open, when there are lights bolted to the bumper?
