Samawill,
The fog lights are aftermarket. Mine didn't have the fog lights and I really didn't want to pay the price for factory lights. The angel eyes came on them already. I have 2 switches, one for the outside lights, and one for the inside lights. I made sure to buy a switch that could handle the power to control it all. As far as the tailpipe, there are no stickers. The pipe all chrome and is in 2 levels. The inside is closed to let the exhaust gases escape the rear of the pipe, and the outside has the flame cutouts to let the light shine through the sides and the rear is open between the 2 pipes to also let light out the rear. the inside pipe gets warm, but the outside with the flames stays fairly cool.
Everyone,
I'm enjoying all the comments I'm getting, good or bad. Each piece has a different reaction from everybody. I feel if I just had one, it would just look out of place, but don't wanna take it too far. I did one light at a time, so I can see what each light does for the car. I think this is as far as I wanna take it, maybe having a light on the side vents would look nice though, have to wait and see.

My car already has blue-white LED washer nozzles. :-D

As far as the car goes I agree with the fact that the wiper lights look tacky, if they werent the brightest thing on the frount end the may flow better.
That said, Great job with the MINI. Every car should have a personal touch and yours has that in spades.

I think that it’s great that you’re enjoying your MINI. BTW, how old are you? If it makes any difference, I’m probably older than your grandfather and I still like your ride!

Nick, I'm probably older than you are, but still like what Teampajn has done to his ride. Not for me, though, but I LOVE to see what these young guys can do with some imagination.
Okay, now that I have said that, Teampajn will figure that if the old pharts like it, it has to come OFF!

I know that the footwells are 194 Wedges, but don't remember the size of the festoons.
