Clear Front Side Markers

Has anyone seen them on sale/in stock? I got the rears off of Ebay from XRTeam. Shipped fast but they don't have the front ones. Thanks.

Moss Mini has them on their site, but there is no price listed. So they may not have any.

Did you install the rears yet?

I bought a set (front and rear) from E bay.. I have had the front bumper off many times but have never tried the rear. Just wondering how long it took.

I have them on the front and rear and it was pretty easy. Some people took the wheels off to do it but to do the fronts I didn't - I just cranked them in the opposite direction of whatever side I was doing and went through the wheel well. For the rears I had to take the wheels off though. I wouldn't take the bumper off! Through the wheel well is much easier.

I've taken the rear bumper off before and didn't have to take the wheels off. I think there was only 4 or 5 bolts holding it on. Very easy to do.

No I mean, I wouldn't have taken the bumper off to do it at all...although I guess taking the bumper off could be easier than doing both wheels...

I was replacing my bumper so... But I think it could definitely be done with it on. I guess you have to decide if you want to take the wheels off or not.

I have the smokey ones on all four wheel arches. In fact I've eliminated all colour from the vehicle except for black, chrome and the BRG of the car. No red, no orange. No colour in any lights front side or back. I love it. She's my chameleon.
