Step-by-Step Installation
1. Remove the Front Grille
Begin by carefully removing the front grille from your MINI Cooper to expose the internal mounting areas.
2. Detach the Grille Mounting Points (8 Total)
There are four mounting points on the top and four on the bottom of the grille. Remove them by unclipping or unscrewing, depending on your model. Keep the hardware safe for reinstallation.
3. Mount the Rally Bracket
Align the rally light bracket with the OEM screw points on each side.
Secure the bracket using the two original screws per side. This creates a sturdy foundation for your mini cooper rally light kit.
4. Drill the Grille (2cm / 0.79 inches)
To allow the bracket arms to pass through the grille:
Drill a 2cm (~0.79 inch) hole on each lower side of the grille as shown in the install reference image.
5. Reinstall the Grille
Feed the bracket arms through the holes you drilled, then reattach the grille using the original 8 mounting points.
