The MINI is just too "cute" and I thought a nice set of morrettes would fix that!

Here's a quick pshop of a MINI with morrettes. Even though most here will hate them, I'd be interested to see a product like this so people stop saying "isn't that a cute lil' car!"

disclaimer: That particular photo is not my mini--but pshop'ed to be identical to mine.

lbboarderh2o: My aerokit was a dealer option so that the extra cost would be rolled into the initial loan.

Here's the original jpg of the red MINI with only morrettes pshop'ed. The more I look at these, the more p*ssed off the MINI looks .

That looks great! I think I would switch out lights on a seasonal basis if I could get a hold of these. They would be great for non-winter driving. I would keep my heated washers and Zenons for the winter time though. Perhaps someone...cough,cough...Randy...could look into the production of these. Someone may start a new fad in the Mini biz.

Ummm....well...I wonder why sometimes someone would ruin a nice headlamp set up to begin with

Anyhoo - yes, they look mean - Morette is a french company that makes headlamp kits for a number of cars - you may have seen them on the WRX 2001 Rally car - we sell them for the Miata. They are expensive and they do have some pros and cons. One being that we see quite a few lamps ruined by rock damage as well as paint damage to the housings (when painted).

Morette also make tail lamp kits as well.

It looks mean, but have fun with your stock setup - they will last much longer.

Morette is a brand name for a headlight kit that is available for the new Subaru WRX, they look just like the pictures on the MINI's.

HOT DAMN! This is EXACTLY what I would want on my mini, I would call it ULTRA-PISSED. I like it because, like Morette on any vehicle, it does not look "ricey".

Good job, now let's see if we can get them produced. . . with or without this war.
