Roadster 3rd brake light, cosmetic change

The rear end of my roadster needs some cosmetic surgery
Planned Gp2 rear end diffusers will help no end, but I wish to sort suspension 1st

In the meantime I'm assuming there are no aftermarket options available for the 3rd brake light, As the potential market is so small.

So what's the next best way to tone down all the red on the back end
Tinted film, tinted spray

I have also been looking at aftermarket options for the rear lights,
But haven't yet found anything quite as nice as the white oem or ultra options available for the r53

Please post any pictures of successful work,
(photo bucket has killed some earlier good work)

Because the R59 is so small and low to the ground, I did not change the rear lights. But I did put a brake modulator light on the third brake light to increase visibility and awareness.

I'd be interested to know what other folks are doing to their brake lights.

Most people just get the brake light module that flashes as you put on the third brake light. I am getting it for mine.

On the rear light most people get the Black Line kit since they have the 2011+ MINIs. Its 69% off now also. 63212320381
