Hi,

Not near my car to look but I'm pretty sure they're Wipac.

Cheers  :proud:

I think there was an article on this subject in recent edition of Cooper World. Seem to recall there was some variation, not just one OEM supplier.

Last months (October) MCR CooperWorld magazine covered Rover Cooper headlights in detail. Wipac Quadoptic were exclusive standard equipment on all MPi Minis but never in Japan. Headlamp rim also has no dimple at top and an altered position for the securing screw.

You can buy the MPi rims for a stupid price, or just use the MS stainless ones, which also fit!

Answer to the original question, they're wipac

We're the headlight pop riveted on or screwed?

Screwed. As the original sealed beam units had to be replaced in their entirety.

The plastic bowl is riveted, if that's what you were after?
