Was thinking about getting a set of spotlights for my 78 clubman. Wanted to know how you guys had them mounted? I didn't really want to drill into the bumper if at all possible. If you guys had any pics of yours that would be awesome :)
Thanks, Devon

Perhaps modify an already damaged (so inexpensive) grille and set the lights in that, much like the LS.

This is mine a few years back with the Narva 170 blues on it. Now have the hella period spots with 130w bulbs. Mounted to the engine bay sill/valance thingy at the bottom and behind the grille.

The first pic is the Hellas, second the Narva lights

I'm thinking about using the bumper mounts themselves for 4" spots. they might obscure the headlights a bit though, i'll have to see once ive hooked a battery back up. otherwise I like the idea of making up a bracket that will mount in a similar spot to CPOCSM's Clubman and putting the bumper back on.

Great little mini there Jim.

The brackets are from autobarn and bought them a long time ago...I stopped the spottie wobble by bracing the valance to the subframe with a strip of steel under each bolt and a screw in the subframe...

Hooroo
