Whats your opinion...

I like them a little bit. I am still hoping to see if I can get the GTS tailight cover though.

 

Not my thing. To each his own

 

This is definitely a color specific item, can only be used on certain color Minis

 

Not my thing either. Like the original tailight lenses.

 

Anyone have a picture of them on the vehicle?

 

Just found this pic today. MiniMania wants to know what people think of them. Don't know if they are on sale yet.

 

Ack!

 

If Mini Mania wants to give me a set for evaluation I will be happy to post a full descriptive opinion...

 

Look like some tail lights I saw on a PT.

 

They look an awful lot like the Altima taillights. I don't think this kind of thing goes well with the MINI's classic styling. In order for modifications to properly complement this car, I think they need to have a certain class to them that these taillights lack. Just my opinion, of course. Not everyone sees the car the same way.

na, dont really like them, i perfer the cheap black covers for 100 from mini-madness

 

Damn, why do i always post the bad stuff???

 

I like them. I would buy some if they are cheap enough. They are just a break from the norm. Same old shi* is always coming out, nice to see something different. I always thought some one needs to do something with the tail lights, and this could be it.

tinted tail lights

 

I don't get it. Why? I mean, the stock tails are clear to begin with. They are not red/orange plastic like on most cars.

Can you explain that please Davbret? I don't understand what you mean.

 

Well I mean, usually the point of "altezza" style lights is that the housing is clear, allowing you to look into the taillight assembly and see the individual components. This has already been done on the stock MINI lights. This is just a revision.

To better explain....

Ok, so I guess at closer inspection there is a difference. These have lots of chrome backing



unlike the stock units, which have lots of red backing.



So I guess it's somewhere between the stock and the clears.

Personally, stock body parts have always looked better to me than after-market. If you want to spend money, why not think about performance? Make it a "sleeper".

 

I think they could look good on the right car....

BTW, what is the little red circle near the middle? A reflector?

I also wonder if they come with the orange bulbs?

 

>>I think they could look good on the right car....

Here they are on the BRG from above. I think they make the car look cheap, IMO.

 

um, why was my post removed?

 

i prefer the clear's.
these look too lexus esque for me!

 

MFerguson: I understand your desicion to remove my graphic.

Is it ok if I include a link, with a disclaimer?

here's a link of a movie Gif of my opinion (Warning: may offend)opinion

I think the irony of me posting an item like this is it directly endorses a stereoypical image that I both resent, yet the root definition is applicable to me. I feel there's no need for me to throw around a first amendment card here, if the Gif is offensive, then I am only offending myself; and I'm not, so you have no reason to be.

as MINIclo would say: "tee hee!"
Cheers,
