Yep that's about right they say 250 for the lights and 250 for the fittingOriginally Posted by simonfr
Went in to Menzies today, but they quoted it as being a 2 hour job, and after the cost of the DRLs (supplied by them) it's looking to be in the region of £550I can buy the DRLs (With the same part number) from Stratstone for £220, but it's not something I could fit myself.
Si
It's shocking if you ask me !! It's the only reason I have not got them !!
New sig coming soon
Not too sure what's involved in the full job but £250 for fitting is excessive but think there might be a bit of drilling through the bulkhead and then wiring into the main ignition loom required ...
I'd stay clear of stick on chrome scoop but you could alway tone it down with an a la GP scoop sticker in the middle so only the outer edge is seen ... just a thought

You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
I wouldn't go with a stick on scoop, but if you like the chrome scoop get a replacment scoop every MINI is diffrent. About the DRL's I don't see the big thing with them I think they look awful and they cost a fortune

There's a whole heap of things you could do to your car with £500. Lights wouldn't be my first choice
Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs
I agree! Nice Downpipe or Exhaust or Intercooler...
I'd stay well clear of the 'stick-on Scoop'. As Ali said, If you really want a chrome one, go for the 'kosher' MINI version.

ok, so I'm definitely not going for a stick on scoop. It's probably more because of concerns about durability rather than how it looks (each to their own, right?).
Regarding the lights, £500 is a lot, but I do like the look so may well get them yet. I'm done with performance mods having previously had a supercharged and tracked MX-5, although I have seen a CAI that looks quite good. Maybe I should just give the bank card to the wife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fitted a chrome scoop to my cousins Cooper S, given the fact that there is a lot of chrome already on the car, ie, mirrors, handles, boot handle, belt line etc the chrome scoop actually looks ok
Just to throw a spanner into the mix
You can't put that and then not put up any photosI fitted a chrome scoop to my cousins Cooper S, given the fact that there is a lot of chrome already on the car, ie, mirrors, handles, boot handle, belt line etc the chrome scoop actually looks ok

I was just browsing t'internet and came across a CAI on YouTube (think it was the AEM), but I've no intention of buying one :(
I doubt I'd manage to fit the DRLs myself. I can do basic car DIY, but taking a bumper off is beyond my realm of comfort (not on a 8 month old car anyway!)
Well, just couldn't help myself and bought a genuine BMW chrome scoop via eBay. Some Internet research suggests its easy to do, but that clips can be broken in the process. Anyone here fitted one and have any advice?
Simon
Not fitted a chrome one but taken off and replaced plenty of others .. Simple really and only a matter of a few bolts and if your sensible you've no chance of breaking anything !
