Where to buy euro-spec OEM parts?

I've been pining for these tail lights that were only available in Europe for the 2005+ first-gen Minis - they have amber turn signals instead of just more red, which I think would look great on my Hot Orange r52.

Part numbers show up as 63217166955 and 63217166956 - but they're not coming up in any US-based parts search sites.

I can see that newministuff.com in the UK has them, but the price seems a bit high, after the exchange rate and shipping...

Anyone have any experience with buying OEM euro-spec parts in the US?

I've had some luck using MINI part numbers (taken from RealOEM) and ordering through pelicanparts. Might want to give that a shot...

They look pretty good on hot orange.

Just plug the euro part number into out search box at the top right corner and hit search.

Thanks

I've got those exact same tail lights on my '06.

My wife bough them as a Christmas present in 2007; she got them from newministuff in the UK. I think they look awesome, much better and more "Mini" than the all red version of the '05-'06 facelift.

Do you have pics of them installed on BRG?


Here is what they look like on Hot Orange. And other colors.










Looks pretty good.

Genuineminiparts.co. UK has euro parts. Just delete the space between co and UK.
