In the photo below I have installed tail lights into an 850 shell for a project that I am working on, however the tail lights do not have White Reversing Lights. What model mini has the white reversing lights that fit into the same body housing as these. Attachment: Tail Light 01.jpg Attachment: Tail Light 02.jpg Regards Phil |

Yes, there are lots on eBay, but I need someone that knows for sure that they will fit into the body without modification in place of the current ones I have. |

Those lights are from the first generation R50, 02 - 04 which has a single central reverse light on the bumper. 2004/5 saw the facelift R50 released which had the reverse light in the tail light assembly and fog light in place of the central reverse. You need lights from 04-07 (ish) facelift R50. |

You need lights from 04-07 (ish) facelift R50. These are listed as R50, R52, R52 2006/6 They look like the same installation as my current ones. Are these the ones you mean ClubmamGT.

Picked up a pair of tail lights today and the left is a bit hazy. I’ve looked on line and am a bit nervous about using wet n dry on plastic. Everyone recommends it but I’m yet to be convinced. I did use some Maguires Scratch X and it did improve it a bit. Perhaps more elbow grease is required. Any recommendations ? Attachment: DF4B2AC6-103A-48A7-9A55-08B7817AAE64.jpeg

I used a headlight restoration kit - basically just some fine polish and a polishing attachment that fits in the drill. https://www.autobarn.com.au/mothers-nul ... enewal-kit |
