i have a 95% finished restoration of a 1986 mini piccadilly, i have modernised it in my own way so it is now no longer completly original, yet i feel it is an improvement. it has just had a full respray in original cashmere gold, and i have a set of 4 spots ready to fit, but am so impressed with the mini at the moment i no longer know if i should fit the spotlights, and am greatly in need of some other oppinions. cheers

I really like spotlights and foglights at the front but then again I would say that!

Maybe someone could photoshop some lights on the front of yours, to see if you think it looks good afterwards. That's how I decided what things to do on mine.

spots man

[steveobennet]

spot lights are extra weight, and you will only really use the at night, if at all! i must admit any extra light on the front can only be a plus but, i prefer the front without them.

Personally I dont think you should use all 4, so many people have that now and it looks overused, which Is why I went for 2 larger ones. But if you want to use all 4, maybe think about using them in a different layout, so it doesnt look the same as every other mini.

It depends on what look you're going for,I'm just having a pair of fogs on mine, I was originally going for drivers lamps too but I'm leaving them, I'm sticking some overriders on so with four lights It'd be too crowded IMO.

[mini_morley]

Ive got two, but in a non standard grille, It from the RGM bodykit, i really like it.

Go for the spots. But ask someone to photoshop some on for you to see first.

I love the spotlights, as has been said they're a finishing touch. First time I properly fell in love with a mini was when it flashed all 4 wipacs at us at a junction in the evening. Talk about a knock out lol

If you plan to drive at night, and they suit the car (in your case I think they would) then go for it, I think they look great when you 'flash' someone.

They don't suit my car at all so I've left mine as it is.
