Today when I got home from work I decided to fiddle with the extra lighting for the front (drl, spots and fogs) 

So I got out the hacksaw and some bits of metal I found at work  and cracked on cutting etc and mocking up the lights .

Here's a pic during the mock up

And complete mock up, need to perfect the spacing so that its the same both sides

Personally I think the modern clear lenses spots and lights clash with the p700's, looking good so far though :thumbsup:

The massive spot lights look epic but i do think they clash with the modern small lights.
Keep it up ;)

I'm hoping there bright enough lol I think there 100w each, so my main beam or should I say "sun light mode" should be sufficient

But it's a lot less lights than some of my earlier ideas there should be some photoshops in this thread some were of them , but I like them and they're there for a purpose not a beauty award lol, although having said that I think he looks B E A UTIFULL!!!

Yea not a fan of the moden looking smaller lights. Maybe two of those big ones and another 2 small more retro ones would look better. Keep at it anyway.

I'd keep the round ones, and only those, I don't think the others suit classic minis

The 2 big spots look great but if it where my car I'd lose the others, each to their own I guess
