Hmmm, I've used Lamin-X before on the back of my old van.

Had previously contemplated it on the Mini but decided I couldn't be bothered with green bulbs etc. So the fact you didn't have to has got me thinking again now!

How much did you order for the rear lights / how much was it?

Cheers

I don't think green bulbs would work anyway because the orange filter is still there, so it would be green + orange + red

Nice one, thanks mate.

Jake - where can you get green bulbs from? I've never actually bothered to look

Or were they clear ones spray painted?

Sean - I reckon you need to do the aero grille mod

well plans for the long run are:
Newman cam
17% pulley with smaller belt and colder plugs
GRS Motorsport intercooler or GP
Milltek manifold
remap

some form of bigger brakes

aero front bumper
some colour coding
some carbon
better seats etc

from the top of my head thats it but no doubts theres hundreds more

Yeah not hard really, although I do recommend removing the light if possible and using a good bit of heat.
Wont matter if you can't remove it though, just easier that's all.

Keep up the good work

swap my lights for your seats

lights are easy to take out mate just one bolt then unclip.
beltline is basically just like sparks tape.

Removed the rear seats earlier, think I'm going for a half cage?
Anybody know of anywhere that makes decent ones for the mini?
Will get pics up tonight once I've cleaned it.
Exhaust is a lot louder now and the car feels much better through the corners,
Just need to carpet over the bare metal as its my daily car so want to keep it looking nice inside.
