Angel Eyes on a Mini?

Blackhawk47 · 23 Jan 2011 at 13:41

They are just side lights though I presume...so I imagine it will look like any stock mini when the lights are fully on? :confused:

Like anything fella, mods will offend some, delight others and the general public won't care or notice I doubt.
If you like it, get it done

You are 100% right.

I suppose these cars wouldn't please everyone on here, yet someone has done it anyway.

Road legal btw. :cool:

Ignore the bitter 'WE HAD THEM FIRST' BMW mob, do what you want.

Absolutely. We are all bitter about people in Mini's.

The 'we had it first' argument is irrelevant which is what you were going for. It's a freely available mod, whether it's ruining or sprucing up an old mini, each to their own.

Thoughts?

He asked us for thoughts. This is what he gets.

It looks as ridiculous as the prevelence for fitting Audi style LED running lights on 2002 Seats.

I've owned two classic road Minis (one from brand new) and used to race in Mini se7ens, I'm hardly part of the 'BMW mob'. Those angel eyes look awful.

I fail to see what those cars have to do with fitting cheap chinese angel eyes to a classic Mini. Why are you so surprised they are road legal by the way?

They do look ridiculous but my initial thoughts and impressions from your comment were 'how dare you, these are BMW lights'.

Also correct. Well done!

I love how how von states that there are a limited number of classic minis on the roads...oh dear.

EDIT: oh and no one picked up on the modified golf with audi wheels !!!!11 :confused:

And your impression was correct - that is my opinion. My opinion is that fake tacky cheese ripped from other manufacturers looks crap. In this case it happens to be BMW angel eyes, but if this was about Audi style DRL's I'd have exactly the same position.

Nay

Sorry but it's a big no from me.

Just looks like another car with it's fake BMW Angel Eyes - can't have a Mini joining the McDonalds Corsa & Saxo brigade!

Now we're talking :cool:

I think they look pretty decent! Given the size and style of the Mini lights they don't particularly scream BMW rip-off to me but I guess at some basic level they could be construed to be if such things bother you. Classic minis are fairly uncommon and even less so completely standard so, again, I don't see the problem in putting aftermarket bits on them.
