I just noticed that they are listing the OEM MINI headlight blackout rings; hoping there is more to come

http://mini.sewellparts.com/oem-cata...SLCI-2011.html

 

i printed the countryman blackout page from realoem and took it to the dealer last sat when i picked up my new countryman

as part of the delivery process, the salesman took me to the parts/service building for intros

i handed the parts guy the realoem page and asked for the whole kit

he looked in his computer and looked at me with the "evil eye" and asked where i got the info....lol

i told him

he typed some more, finally found the info and told me there is no stock in the usa yet and no pricing

i left my number and said "call me, i want to be the first with this"

still waiting

We dont have an ETA on Black Line parts but it will consist of black headlamp trim rings, black taillamp trim rings, smoked side marker lights, and smoked taillamps. This kit and individual parts will be for R5X LCI (2011+) and R60.

 

Hi Mike,

I see the headlight rings are priced on your site. Do you actually have those in stock?

Do you have Sewell prices on the other parts yet?

 

Be sure to post when it happens, Scott

 

The headlamp rings are the only items on our pricing list from MINI. I have tried to order these but MINI kicks it to backorder status as soon as I do. They are most likely waiting until they accumulate enough stock in the US to handle projected demand or they are waiting for all Black Line pieces to arrive. I have no pricing on the other parts as of this time.

 

my dealer did say it would be available as a kit only, not individual parts

Pictures of any of this stuff?

 

no photos, just parts diagram

As I posted in the other "blackout" thread.

And as per usual, the manufacturer missed the mark by just a smidge.

 

Anyone able to buy this stuff yet?

 

Dealerships hate realoem with a passion. I told one dealer that and they got pretty made so now I just tell them I have my sources.

 

I have the headlight rings, the tail light rings are not being released until 07/03/12.
It looks like the headlight rings are sold out until around the same time. I should have bought a couple sets lol

 

I'm amazed at the amount of miss information dealerships put out there. I'm not sure why they would hate realoem, I personally love it when people bring in part numbers or diagrams. It makes ordering parts a hell of a lot easier when people know what they are looking for.

 

Umm, pics please?

 

Ill take some when I get home for ya.

 

hello SewellParts,

i just checked on your site, and it says the R60 blackout parts ship in 24-48 hours, but no prices listed

i am ready to order if they are available, what is the cost?

i have not heard back from my dealer

Took some quick pics.







Sorry for the dirty car lol. The slotted grill and surrounds are OEM black as well. These are on a 2011 r56.

 

Surprised to find an OEM option.
I had already intended painting or masking mine.

 

I'm interested to see what the OEM smoked tails look like.

P.S. link for R56 LCI:

I have no information regarding ETA or price of the Countryman kit at this time

does anyone know if the blackout rings for the headlights and taillights will fit a 2007 MCS?

 

Looks like they fit the 2009 LCI models and up.

 

I take that back, I just cross referenced the chrome rings for the 07 and LCI models and they show the same part number. So with that said the black rings should fit the 07.

 

The headlamp rings will fit all R55, R56, and R57 years. The reason black line will only be listed in the LCI catalog is because of the taillamps.
