Checkerboard Headlight covers - very rare

moss MINI headlight covers checkerboard painted and clear coated

double side velco dots are used for fastening
inside cover remain 4 halves

on headlight remain other 4 halves

the four halves meet and mesh together

had them wind tested to 70 MPH

i also have checkerboard mirror covers for sale

the headlight covers required a detailed and time consuming paint job due to the complex curves of the headlight covers involved

make an offer if interested.
besides the picture on minimani web site, i have never seen this duplicated on a MINI out and about. those that like checkerboard, this is a cool look i believe.

... How well do the headlights work when those covers are applied?

headlight covers

light does not shine through them.

i used them for daylight driving and car shows/cruises/MINI events..

if i had them the covers on the car and it was going to start to get dark, i would pull over in a parking lot and take them off and store them in my car.

I totally agree!! Tougher to pull off on an IB like mine, but awesome on CR and probably many other colors, too. A great idea worthy of further exploration!

Wow, it's a small world.

I used to work at Cascade Imports (Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio) many years ago. What's the name of the classic MINI dealership in the picture?

Just curious. :smile:
