Those headlight thingys..

Post by **Tris** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 9:31 pm

Ive noticed on some cars there are these eyelid type bits on the top of each headlamp and I can't think what they would be called, excuse my rubbish explanation.. and were they an option or only fitted to certain models?

Thet were an extra - never fitted by the factory. Try a search for 'brows' or 'kidney cutters'

They were never fitted by the factory. They are just aftermarket accessories. Some people call them 'eyebrows' but I call them 'kidney cutters' and I think they look awful personally.

Are they not sold as Mini accessories?

Post by **Cam** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 10:15 pm

I was just trying to help, I've no idea if they're tricky to get - they don't float my boat either

Post by **minor_hickup** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 10:24 pm

i didnt mean to sound snappy, and i think you made that clear earlier

Post by **bigginger** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 10:55 pm

Naaaaaah, that was Cam, hence my use of "either"... I don't think ether of us gives a stuff if they're your thing - I know I don't

Whatever floats your boat.

If you like 'em, fit 'em, if you don't, then don't!
