Hi there guys,

I want to replace the clear indicator lenses on the front of my Mini with orange ones, as I think they suit it better. They are the 2 screw types, which ones from MiniSpares would I need to replace them?

Here it is now:

What I want it to be like:

I've looked on MiniSpares but I cant find an orange one with 2 screw holes?

Thanks

Ben

Yeah you only need the lens!

I'd get some clear bulbs too as your current ones will be orange.

Thanks

To be sure whether its an opposite or offset type, just whip the lense off and check, its a 2 second job :thumbsup:

OK, no problem. Also, are those lenses orange or yellow, as the one I put a picture of above looks yellow to me?

Thanks

I got a second hand pair of these amber lenses and a pair of side repeaters to do the same thing off R1minimagic on here, they were a damn sight cheaper than getting new ones.

I think some land rovers used the same lenses as later minis so if you're near a scrap yard you could also give that a try too.
