Ta for pointing that out peeps

I didn't actually intend for that but it looks better anyway me thinks

Hi - I'm thinking of fitting the same arrangement. I think I've posted the correct bracket that comes with this below but can someone confirm how they are fitted and it there is any drilling required. I assume one end tucks under the bumper and hopefully there is a hole there already .

thanks in advance.

Mate,

That lip points towards the grill. The top hole is for the spotlight, and the bottom but goes into your front valance. You may have the holes but you may have to drill them, but it ain't that bad. If I can do it anyone can.

yes, the bar simply fits between the "standard" position spotlight brackets, a very simple way to add four spots to your car BUT.....

oh boy do they wobble

If you dont mind me asking, what arches do have on your car pictured and where did you buy them? they look very nice.

the arches are group 2 but i got them from "the mini shop London", and i do think they exist anymore

Huddersfield do similar ones

ok cheers, have you got any idea what width they are? i have 12x6's and i dont want the arch to completely cover the wheels.

So does the lip with the open ended hole that points towards the grill attach to anything ? Could you post some up close photos

thanks

oh yes, and their Ultralites from Huddersfield mini spares

[finchy]

I REALLY LIKE THE LOOK OF THE HUDDERSFIELD SPARES SPOTLIGHTS AND FOR THAT PRICE THEY SEEM A REAL BARGAIN. IS THE PRICE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? ARE THEY GOOD QUALITY AND FIT WELL AND FEEL SOLID OR ARE THEY QUITE CHEAP AND NASTY? IF ANYONE WITH AN OPINION ON THESE COULD YOU LET ME KNOW. I KNOW GENUINE ONES AND ONES FROM MINI SPORT ARE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE SO ARE THE HUDDERSFIELD SPARES ONE SCHEAP FOR A REASON?

the spotlights are not bad, but after about 4 years mine went rusty.

i still think they look good and my only gripe would be that the lack of any real support on the middle two lights does make them very wobbly, but you can fix this by running a bracket from the mounting bolts to the grille.

i think they are Ok for the money

PS: typing with your caps lock on is actually forum speak for shouting
