Thanks for watching.

Thank you

@@tweedbean Do you have any videos showing you prepping and respraying your chrome headlight surrounds? Would love to see this done properly, so that it lasts and doesn't peel after a few months.

@@blowfishes hi however much that’s a great idea for a video, I’m not a paint expert so wouldnt want to advise as it can go wrong easily. My Bodyshop did all the prep and paint on the r53

Thanks for watching

Thank you, hopefully it was useful

No problem!

People tend to remove the headlight rings to colour code or paint black rather than replace. If you are referring to the headlight lens. They are glued on, check out my r56 joey mod video as the r53 ones are held on in a similar manor: How To: Mini R56 How to joey mod your R56 Headlights also clubman coupe roadster Cooper S JCW One kzfaq.info/get/bejne/apqlh7Ohzaemn3U.html

Thanks for watching, I've had a number of requests for this however I dont have a spare set of lights, if I take mine apart again, I will make sure I record it

+1 for this.

Nice one

Hi thanks for watching. Firstly check the plastic covers on the back where you change the bulbs are on properly as they have rubber seals. If they are ok you can spilt the lights and reseal them, that’s how people joey mod them.

@@tweedbean Great thanks for the heads up.

You can but you can’t see where the clips are so run the risk of breaking things.

Do you mean the clear lens so you can paint the inside chrome parts?

@@tweedbean Yeah those

Hi use a hair dry to heat around the edge of the lens to loosen the glue. There are a couple of metal clips from memory near where the headlight washer attaches that you need to remove, they should pop straight of with a flat headed screw driver behind them. also helps to leave in the sun or store in the airing cupboard before hand. Take a look at this www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/interior-exterior/167358-how-to-joey-mod-facelift-halogen.html

I will take a look this weekend, cant see why not

Sorry never worked on an R50 so cannot help

Thanks for the tip

Sorry to hear that, Unfortunately that’s due to a poor design by mini not the process you followed. Hence they changed the design for future models, they weren’t designed to be removed because at that point they didn’t plan on offering none chrome versions like they did with other generations so they weren’t design to be removed easily. Unfortunately these cars are coming up to 21 years old in some cases so the plastics are brittle and some do break, I know that doesn’t help you
