I think they show it well enough?

Thanks for pics i see what you mean by off vertical, but not so bad as
Can atleast tilt lamps to vertical. Think i might just order lamp bar from
Huddersfield as that seems to be only place can get and get lamps later.
Be interesting to see of mine look same! Was it hard to line it up to drill holes in the bumper
Lip? Guess be best to add some paint or rust proof stuff where drilled to.

had mine on for two years now and im pleased the way they look

To drill the holes in the bumper, we attached the bar to the top bracket and then marked the position for the two holes where the bar sat comfortably. Took the bar off, drilled the hole, protected the holes from rust and then fitted the bar.

Managed to grab another Lucas 20-20 driving lamp today at mini fair. £35, seen a pair go for £77 on ebay about a month ago and they did want £60 for the pair, although they agreed to sell separately because the other was a fog lamp. Should be able to get that fitted pretty soon.

Thanks sounds like a plan to fit, one of these bars is next on my list now. I plan to just use cheapo black backed lamps to go with all the black
bits on my Sprite, though I have a boot mounted spot to fit and thats a lucas something or other in chrome lol!

There was stand at Bingley yesterday selling them too. Mini's R Us or something along those lines. Sure they wanted over £150 for one with lights fitted though, Huddersfield's is only £100 with lights, so I'm not sure how much the bar on it's own would cost from them.

I love these and i'm saving up to get one, are they hard to wire into the main beam?

[red1967]

I love the pictures. These bars just make the mini. Much classier than the 4 light bar. I want one but Huddersfield wants 110 pounds just for the shipping to Canada.

Probably by summer I will have to brake down and buy one. Right now its the 1293 build. I wish I had a store I could just run to for parts. So Jealous!!
