Hi there, i currently have a brand new mini first on order. i was wondering if you can change the

I went for the "Side vents - JCW" as they match the chrome door handles far better than the stock black griddle ones. They came with clear lenses and bulbs so took about 5 minutes a side to fit. Just open the bonnet and they slide forward about half-an-inch then pop out; unplug the bulb, plug in the new vent and clip back in place. Repeat for other side and job done.

At £40 cheaper than speccing clear repeaters from Mini's options list and look better too.

I went for those aswell, minus the clear bulbs,
the JCW scuttles made a bigger improvement than I expected!
Of course if you only want the clear lenses and not the scuttles you can buy them seperatley.
