Halo Sidelights

[OBN]

After slightly hijacking Zimbo's 'My Graphic' thread I've decided to order myself a nice pair of Halo Sidelights..

newministuff.com want £69.62 inc delivery for them

lohen want £72.70 inc delivery for them (they are doing free fitting on them, but errm bit far to travel)

Is there anywhere else I should try or is it possible to get a NMS discount from either of the above?

Nice one £60.28 inc delivery deff going in the right direction.

Are they all exactly the same or are there diff brands/quality?

[OBN]

£63.00 in delivery from GBK performance (anyone heard of them?)

[Sweeney]

As far as i know they'll be the same

[Craig]

they should all be made by the same company (Ultra)... :D

[OBN]

Just before I order, Lohen are the only company to ask, which model Mini and what year. Do they vary between Cooper and Cooper S and/or with the facelight model?

Or are they all the same?

mark,

he very rarely logs on, I'll remind him tommorrow to reply to you.

Sent him a text to say you want them....:D

I would consider them sold.

[vintageb3]

Hi Craig...

In that case...tell him that I may be near him on Wednesday. I was in Stirling today...and I think Markyc is from around that area?

Thanks

mark

AAArrgghhhhhhhh

the bottom screw is doing my head in!! Can't get it out!!! Bumper off job me thinks (who said this was a simple job?)

[Craig]

it is brent, just a lot of patience required.... Is it just stuck, or can't you get at it ? ?

[OBN]

Just cant get into it at all, tried various screw drivers but none seem to be able to get grip on the head. The small dumpy one would be fine but can't get it level enough due to the fog light

[Craig]

do you have a copy of the last copy of Modern Mini? they talk you how to take off the bumper. It is only 2 screws on the top (T30 Torxs) and 5 bolts on the bottom... (socket set...)

hope this helps..

[OBN]

I did see that edition but was hoping to avoid, but due to the cuts on the back of my hands I think it's gonna have to be bumper off

[Craig]

yeah as I say, Mark still has his scars... Hope you get it sorted before Santa comes...:D

[markyc]

Mark

Sorry for not getting back to you :disapprove:

Wednesday is fine, although I'm working I can get away to meet you, say at Menzies :approve: What time suits you :question::question:;)

Brent

You need a 'bendy screwdriver' :eek: I've got a set of screwdrivers and one has a flexible end which bends through 90 degrees and applies pressure to the screw head :approve::approve: If you don't have something similar you may struggle :disapprove::dead:Is it a facelift model you have :question: I found there is more space to work on the Halo's on the facelift model than mines which is the 'first edition':I Hopefully you'll have it sorted quick :D;)

[OBN]

Mark its a 2005 model, I'll have a look for a suitable screwdriver, I did manage to get a copy of Modern Mini this avo with the step by step guide, just need to find the time (or the tool)
