I'm kinda stalled on doing a custom one... got up to building the casing and got sidetracked with some other stuff... I'll likely get back onto that in the next couple of weeks....

hmmmm yes i dont think it would be to much of a problem to make. as long as you use the correct stuff, bulbs, wire etc but i am to much of a dullard and too lazy to bother!!

[mini_morley]

Cheers guys for your info. Is there one that spells MINI ? think i have seen one or it might be in a dream/nightmare

Like mine that I posted earlier you mean?

or a long thin line of red dots at the top of the window.

do i see a broken brake light!

[Bigfoot]

Or if you don't fancy shelling out £30 for a genuine rover one, a cheapy LED doodah from fleaby should sort you out...

I've got one of these in mine, bit of No-More-Nails instead of the standard sticky pads and some gaffer tape to take the wire round the window seal and you're done. It just splices into the brake light connection.

There's no cover for it, but I find it barely reflects anyway.

[drummerian]

[89red]

I've got one that spells 'mini', just like mini_morley's

I got mine off ebay

[mini_morley]

Same here, it was about £20- defiantly a worthwhile investment, especially if it stops someone driving up your arse. Also the mini one is a bit differnet from just the normal ones, I got a few smiles with mine

[89red]

could it be fixed to the top of the window?

[mini_morley]

Yeah, it can go at the top or the bottom of the window, and its just two piggy back connectors onto the existing brake light circuit and peel of the sticky pads and pop it on the window, had mine fitted in about 5 mins, and its really good- nice and bright too.

I have a cheapo ebay thingy, long LED strip, just plonked (well, sitcky-fixered) it to the speaker so it's near the bottom of the window... Also I'd like to point out my dad did it, not me! Haha. Does the job though!

[Its a mini thing]

iv got one of the MINI ones in the garage too, took it out of my old mini and never got round to fitting it into my new mini, little job for me.
