Hah! Yeah, sorry, I meant clear coat/clear bra, whatever it is!
And the stripes are black carbon fiber. Man did they ever shine in the sunlight!

I think that's the "standard" R55/6/8/9 mounting location. Check out my sig. These may look wider due to the sport (vice traditional bonnet) stripes.
Sweet Roadster!

My driving lights seem just as widely spaced, but they are more or less aligned with my stripes, so I'm happy with this placement.
And BTW, scribbled, nice car!

Yep, appears that is the standard driving light position on the gen2 MINIs.

I miss the giant 100W Cibie lamps I used to have on my old 1972 and 1984 classics when I was young, on brackets I made myself, and oh, those Cibie Biode headlamps with the custom wiring to keep the dip and 100W main beams on together... You could hear the alternator screaming with them all on!

Black on red -- you have impeccable taste in color combos.
Very nice car!
