Yeah they work with the day time runners on (first notch on light switch)

The pic only has the day lights on...the fogs are actually half days and half fogs

Did you manage to stay with the Lotus Elise (?) or even manage to overtake?
Sweet ride - in Germany sometimes referred to as "ringtool"!

I would bank on R53 diffusers before the end of May, but remember you do have to cut out the battery box and add a new straight through exhaust system. I have to say that of all the parts we have ever made, the Diffusers are bar none the most popular exterior parts ever...

I was able to keep up ... but it's because he was in the novice group. There were two other Lotus' there, running in Advanced2 ... it's an incredible machine!

I'm thinking that that is one hot looking MINI. I like the wheels a LOT!

And a great photograph, too. I love the silvers and blues that dominate the frame.
