IND's painted reflectors have been a staple for BMW owners since the days of the E46 and E9X M3, and we are thrilled to finally bring our signature "Reflector Delete" to the F5X Mini Cooper community! These reflector inserts for the Mini Cooper are the perfect solution to remove those orange reflectors that continue to be installed on Minis due to U.S. Department of Transportation regulations. This front reflector delete blends seamlessly into your Mini's fender arches for a sleek, cohesive look—the same way the lucky European Mini Coopers come from the factory.
The Mini Cooper presented us with a few unique challenges. The biggest issue was figuring out how to accommodate the variations in each fender arch for the factory reflectors. The fender arches are not manufactured with uniform openings for the reflectors; instead, they are stamped out, meaning the size and shape vary from one fender to the next. To account for this, each set of inserts comes with adhesive shim strips to secure the reflector delete edge. Additionally, Mini Cooper arches are made of ABS plastic with a specific color and texture. We went through many rounds of trial and error to achieve the perfect match.
Upgrade the look of your vehicle and stand out on the street with the IND F5X Mini Cooper Front Reflector Delete.

Before Placing Your Order
〇 About Import Consumption Tax
At the Shaftoya shopping site, we cover the import consumption tax incurred at the time of import on your behalf, so there will be no additional charges beyond the total amount paid at checkout.
〇 Confirmation of Fitment
All product databases are based on North American vehicles (USDM). Please confirm whether the product can be installed on a Japanese market vehicle (JDM) before placing your order. (If you are unsure whether a listed product is compatible with your vehicle, please feel free to contact us. Our support team will be happy to look into it for you.)
If you place an order without confirming compatibility, we cannot accept returns due to incompatibility.
Please note that even if a product is sorted by selecting the year, make, and model on our top page, it does not necessarily mean it will fit a Japanese market vehicle without modification.
All products are translated into Japanese using translation software. As there may be confusing expressions, please contact us before ordering if you have any questions.
○ Regarding Shipping
Shipping costs are paid at the time of checkout. Shipping estimates are automatically calculated when you enter your delivery address on the checkout page. In rare cases, there may be a significant discrepancy between the automatically calculated shipping cost and the actual cost for large items such as body parts. In such cases, we will contact you individually via email.
All products are generally shipped internationally from our U.S. warehouse. Unlike domestic shipping within Japan, international shipping takes approximately 7 to 14 days, so please allow yourself plenty of time when ordering. If you are in a hurry, please contact us in advance to confirm delivery times. Note that all items are shipped via air freight; they are never shipped via sea freight.
○ Regarding Japanese Vehicle Inspection (Shaken) Compatibility
All products we handle are essentially designed and manufactured outside of Japan. Please note that they are not compliant with the "Japanese Vehicle Inspection System," and we cannot provide strength calculation documents or similar paperwork for these regulations. Therefore, all parts are sold for the purpose of "use on circuits, private property, or off-road," and installation and use are at your own risk.
○ Regarding Warranty
Please check the contents of your order immediately upon arrival. Since all products are shipped internationally from outside Japan, there may be instances of shipping damage to the packaging or the product itself. Please understand that we will only provide returns, refunds, or exchanges for shipping-damaged items, defective products, or incorrect items if you notify us within 7 days of receipt. Furthermore, for products sold through us, warranty support will be handled "exclusively through us." Please note that we do not provide support through other companies or distributors located within Japan.
