OEM JCW Challenge Car .... they are a PIA to get as you need to find someone on a Challenge Car team in Germany to order them for you. I only got lucky and saw this one in the Marketplace used.

Honestly it doesn't and when I've got my yellow fogs on, its barely noticeable but that's because I've got Nokya 2500k fog bulbs too though. I say go for it and post the pics. I was a little scared to do it at first, but I'm really glad I've done this mod to the MINI

I happened to see these pics on Twitter (searching for "MINI Cooper") and thought, "Wow, I should post this on M/U!"

I guess they already knew about it

Great-looking car!

Throw some black stripes all over it going in various directions and you'd have the "Eddie Van Halen" MINI
