I have some black tail light rings I want to install on my 09 Justa, anyone know how to remove the tail lights on the R56?

 

On my 08 they just popped off with a little leverage. I used a butter knife wrapped in a microfiber cloth . Careful, easy does it! Start on too outside corners. Shine a light down in and you will see the fasteners. Where did u get yours? I plastidiped to see how I would like. I do!

 

Exactly what Rgoodwin said. I used a large flat blade screw driver wrapped in a soft cloth. Just pry it out from between the chrome ring and the car's paint. Not from between the chrome ring and the taillight.

It'll just pop right off and then just pop the new one back on.

 

*starts sweating*

Oh... oh.... ok....

*reaches for butter knife*



I got the rings in Germany about 2 weeks ago. I was there for business and the black rings aren't here yet because they're not DOT approved I believe. They were cheap, only 20 Euro each.
I'll post pix when i'm done.

thanks Guys

Oh yeah!!!!! That's what i'm talking about!!! Thank you so much for the help guys.

The rings are the clean parts... LOL!




Sure enough, they came right off.

 

Gee is your car a R56?

 

Gee... sarcasm is the lowest form of humor.... now FOAD troll.

 

I used a spatula (from Germany). They didn't tell you about the horrible it sounds like things are breaking noises...

 

Yeah, it was a little creaky when i was trying to get the first one off.

 

Picking up a JCW boot handle i think soon, found one on Craigslist cheap. Death to Chrome!

 

Great minds think alike Dave!

Wife and I drove 350 miles in salty slush today, my butts dirtier than yours!



CBS : I've got one too!



Plus this!



Yours looks great DaveKennedy !

 

Thanks! Nice 10 years sticker. i managed to pick up a Canadian one last year on a trip to Toronto. Boy I need to give the Cooper a wash!

 

I am going to go ahead and go with the black out crowd and get the headlight and tail light rings for my MINI. I think with the black grille surround and the carbon fiber hood scoop it will look awesome.
