2010 Clubman clear tail light

Hello,

Posting already

So, i have a chili red clubman with the silver back and would love to be able to get rid of the orange signal on the back of the clubman to match the silver paint on it. I have looked all over but i can't seem to find any anywhere!!!

Is it because it is illegal? Or just isn't enough of a need for them? Or am i blind?!

Oye, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Are you trying for a COMPLETELY clear taillight or just one that has a clear turn signal instead of an orange one?

They don't offer a completely clear taillight for some reason.

They do offer taillights with clear turn signals though. It's an option when ordering and can be purchased afterwards at any dealer.

Here's a pic of my clear turn signal taillights if that's what you're looking for.

Are you trying to spec an order for a car? It's included in the white signal package which gets rid of the orange signals in the headlight and on the side indicator as well.

All i want is the clear lens to go in the back tail lights. I want to get rid of the orange and put in clear. Do i need to buy the whole tail light or is there a lens that i can replace by opening the back tail lights?

You need to purchase the whole taillight. If you call up your local dealer and ask to speak with the parts counter, they'll get you the part numbers and allow you to order them. Just tell them you want clubman taillights with the clear indicator.

No. I don't think anyone carries just that lense as you'd have to cut open the taillights to get at it and remove it.

Custom machined hubs I just love the style of these wheels as they remind me of a futuristic interpretation on the classic steel wheels that originally came on Mini Travellers. I'm weird like that sometimes

And they look great on the car. Might be nicer if they had MINI Wings for the center cap but that would probably cost a fortune.
