This is a survey to find out how many people would be interested in buying a pair of these lights for their Mini. They maybe be fairly expensive depending on if you want to keep your Xenon or not.


This survey would decide on the possible production for these lights.

Of course, the lamp array would be the same as the existing Mini, which is not as evil as shown above (which is a conceptual representation) The Array would look more Mini-Like.

FYI similar Morrette headlight systems for other cars such as the WRX cost about $450US for the pair.

That is true. The Mini however is a specialty car. The factory Xenon lights cost arond $600 each. Keeping the xenons in these lights will obviously jack up the price.

Not my taste. Makes it look too much like a Honda, Acura, etc.

It puts a mean look into the Mini. These lights will be the highest quality. Not some cheapos.

It's not very considerate to reply so negatively. Many owners have their own opinions I'm sure, but to instigate with such a negative remark is not productive.
If you are not into a potential product, please find a better way to express that.

Thanks

I think it would look badass on my lowered and tinted DS/B MCS. Going for that mean look. Obviously not for everyone.

Here is a thought if you only want good opinions, then post them elsewhere. I think eneryone has a right to voice there opinion even if it is negative. That what discussion is about if you do not like the opinion than ignore it.......

Confusing my post - asking for a more considerate way to say no, for thinking I want you to agree with my opinions is - ignorant.

I like it, but I dont know if I would put it on a mini. It also depends on how much it would cost, because I'm not entirely opposed to it

Remember, the set up will match the current light placement.... It might not look AS mean as the ones in the Photo.

I'll try to make a conceptual design with proper placement.
