MINI F56 Headlight Blackout

Category: Exterior
Price: $50
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): F56
Location (Region): West
Item Condition: Used

Looking for black headlight rings for my MINI F56. Looking for the actual snap on ones, not the overlays.

Haven't decided if I want to spend $100+ for new ones. The genuine rings for headlights and taillights are very expensive.

Contact me if you have any available.

Thanks

After you buy the black ones, if you want to sell the chrome ones, let me know. Mine are damaged and I need to replace them.

Yeah... my chrome ones are damaged that’s why I was looking for black. But new is like around $150! Crazy.
Not sure how it happened but one of my chrome ones is hanging on like 2 clips. Afraid it will fly off when doing a high speed run lol.

I have 2 F series cars and both have missing clips, they are brittle and fall off. Temporary fix is hot glue gun from Dollar store.

For kicks I contacted MINI/BMW customer service. Explained the situation with failing fake chrome trim and they politely told me to pound sand.

Found a new set on EBAY from a MINI dealer for $50, so that should fix me up.

Good luck with your hunt for black ones!

The aftermarket ones are all overlays. We don't like them as they sit up on the chrome and can come off so we only use the factory ones.
We do have them in stock for $130 with free shipping right now

Just pop them off and wrap them. It will take you about 30mins tops and no more than $10-$15 for supplies
