I actually cut the inner ring so it can spread out a little, tried cutting small slots in the passenger one and that went majorly wrong, so cut completely through the drivers one just the once and spread it out a bit. I'll get a picture when I can to show y'all

Cheers for the comments

Looks the tits mate. You need some black and silver number plates though.

[mini-man-dan]

Too common, want to get some of the old skwl rivetted coloured ones that would have originally been on it. But they are a lot of money And I am beyond skint at the moment! Can't even afford a new inner ring for the headlight

Cheers Dan pictures would be great,i presume they have sidelight holes?

[mini-man-dan]

Yup they have sidelight holes. Will get photos when I can, probably tomorrow.

Right here's pictures as promised of where I cut the inner headlamp ring:




Between the fixed point and the 1st headlamp clip.
The outer ring has to have some of the lip trimmed off too, as it doesn't clear the part of the inner ring where the 1st clip goes (due to the inner ring now being 'larger')

And here's a couple of photos of my rear numberplate swinger...
(Excuse the masking tape! )

Looking good,does the outter rim still fit okay?
Loving the Carbon,i`ve just bought some Carbon bumpers which are i need of some repairs but they were cheap,now i`m thinking of what other carbon bits i can use.

hi mate the lights look awsome, ive been planning on fitting them since first seeing them a while back on a mini. am i right in thinking all that square bit is just like the headlamp bowl?

i havnt really looked much into doing it due to lack of funds lol

[mini-man-dan]

All that extra metal screws off/ is cut off and you're just left with a 7" bowl like a Mini one, although the glass is slightly larger than a normal Mini one.

Hey Dan. When you put your digi dash in the speedo you said something along the lines of you having another one if I remember right. Anyway was the other one if their is one a black faced one? And would you be interested in selling it? I'm sort of looking for one. PM me if you like mate.

[mini-man-dan]

Nope sorry, only ever had one digi dash!

[leaky]

Na I dont mean the digi dash. I didn't world that very well. I mean the center speedo you put it in. I'm after one as I want to put a center one back in my car like it would have had out the factory.

[mini-man-dan]

Ohhh I get you! Umm, I made one good one from the 2 then put the digi-dash in it. Sorry, it's in pieces spread around my garage
