How are you planning on mounting them? What are the black brackets for?

Don't know what the black brackets are for but don't plan on using them, will bolt them straight onto the grill as see pics posted @ wachuko.
Personally I think these are exactly the right size and well placed, these spots are made from stainless steel so no rust issues what I also like is that it comes with a complete wiring set and should be a very easy install.
There supplied by BMW here in OZ but made for Mini Cooper S
I Know that RRP in the UK is around $600 euro expensive but quality comes at a cost and these are one of the best you can get
I was very lucky as I knew what I was looking for but without that price tag so was looking on eBay and another local site here in OZ called Gumtree where I found this set , they where only listed 6 hrs prior so called straight away the guy explained he ordered them for his new Cooper S but never got round to installing them and after 9 months decided to trade in his car.
He was after $250 so I offerd $200 plus post and the deal was done , There in the mail as we speak but will be sure to post pics when installed.
Cheers

Thanks John. Can't wait to see them. Could you create a separate post about them and the installation? I know a lot of us are looking for a good solution.

Fish - please turn off your caps lock. You are virtually yelling at us.

Thanks!
