    If anyone is interested I might be willing to do a straight swap of my joeyed R56 Xenon headlights with red ring pieces as seen in the picture below for your standard R56 Xenons. If interested then send me a PM

    **Mods** Sorry I didn't know where else to put this thread, coz its not a sale as such but a swap so couldn't put it in the for sale section.

    lol, I noticed Ryan did it to his GP, so may have to speak to him nicely! Aint found any decent pics online though of a red coop with them done! Obviously Zimbo has done it, but it has the red ring so if I squint I kinda get how it looks!

    Neil I did it to my Cooper last time round.... it's not for the faint hearted lol you have 2 options - either stick the headlight unit in an oven or take a heat gun around the edges of the seal.

    No, no sale still have not had any luck finding a job so might have to see about returning the car to MINI if they will take it because the money I had saved up has now been used up paying the payments for the car etc etc and now getting to the stage where its going to be difficult to do so. And the dealers might want the car back to original as it was when I originally got it, i.e with the normal style (chrome) Xenons, just want to keep myself covered just in case...

    So I could well be MINIless very soon

    I have already got another car lined up and its not nice... It was my brothers banger he bought a couple of years ago and it has been sitting in my mums driveway to the side for a couple of years now and needs some work to get it back on the road assuming it passes its MOT when I get that far!! and no I wont say what it is coz I will be driving it with a paper bag over my head...

    I hoped I would never see the day that my transport would be going backwards so to speak, especially not all the way back to an 'L' reg banger (oops I mean car..)
