Install a set of Euro spec headlights with the parking light bulbs, fit them out with amber turn signal bulbs and wire them up as additional turn signals.

Go for the sump guard before more rally lights...!

nice notice tho on that relocation of those turn signals on E33 - from my google image search -that may have been a more one off  E33  than a complete BMC Rally car thing.

 

That area wouldnt be very fun to mod on a mini body to put those in  ( Fender and front panel seams) right in that location . Cut chop mod!

Chip Foose would probably do it and you' would need 2 side by side to notice the difference!

This is all Just my Opinion! ( your doing a great job tarting up the mini to rally Specs! )

Ok I'm going to be a very cool sport so my DIY methods won't lead me to getting banned in this forum. Anyway, I guess Minisport blog editors, Mini Works in facebook and Mini magazine in UK likes the Flinstones type of classic minis these days. So sad...

I think it needs a coat of pink paint and mismatched plug wires.  And your fan will work better backwards.

And do something about those nipples.

It is. I found the original lucas 5-pin cable and costs too much for me. Back to the turn signal light...

I have a thing for lights and planning on installing two more 576 rear mounted Lucas lamps on my front end (DWR084 car) BUT... I noticed my turn signal lights are positioned just under the main headlights aligned centered and if I do so, it will block the turn signal lights. But I saw the Morris 33EJB car and a few more and noticed that their turn signal lights are positioned outwards and under the main headlights are the Lucas rear mounted smaller rally lamps. 

Is this a common practice by BMC Works on their mini rally cars?
