Stumbled across this idea a while back, while looking for Japanese mini styling.
I recently fitted a cheap universal LED third brake lamp across the top of the rear screen. it wasnt very easy on the eye.
SO the thought of doing the Japanese style lamps has been bouncing around my head, (i dont get out much, but the mini is also stuck in a state of hibernation in the garage, so lots of time to tinker around it.) A member on here has made a very smart housing for a LED brake light. but my fabrication skills = zero; so had to look at an alternative.
I also remember seeing some cooper S race cars with two brake lights at each corner of rear screen. so I thought i would combine the two
Some inspiration from Japan....
....
Remeber my fabrication skill level from above...So i ordered some lamp brackets from a neat ebay shop and (after many hours ebaying) some American truck lamps from the USA.
the lamps:
and together...
Finally fitted, Had a nightmare trying to conceal my speakers. Speakers are now hidden within the speaker board.
But all done.....

I agree! it is factory fitted though and is solid. I could take it of, but i have always thought of it as extra rear end bump protection.

I spent a good weekend mucking around with my ride height....The car was almost on the bump stops at the front. It didnt look particularly low, but I guess it was an illusion with the large arches, intended for 13's
Before -
After -
The ride is so much more comfortable with the extra height. I do have lowered shocks on the car but they appear to be ok with the new height.

The reason why I checked the ride height in the first place, was because a couple asked if the mini could be their wedding car.
The couple were of the large variety, So i decided to start raising the car a little. anyway the obligatory wedding car shots....
