Aero grill + 4 driving lights

I've orderd a set of 4 wipac driving lights, I now have the standard mini One grill.
I always liked the aero grill but now I wanted to order one but, will you see much of the Aero grill with 4 lights covering it ? If not I'd rather spend the money on some other mini mods

You can still see plenty of the grille with 4 spots:

Does the grill require cutting to fit the 4 spot lights?

Very interested in replicating the 2003 Italian Job blue cooper

Could it be possible to mount the lights like this ?

Is it possible to get a hight difference. Like 2 exterior ones normal height and 2 middle ones slightly higher, not much. on ebay saw someone selling them Or do I have to mod the brackets of my new wipac quad lights?

Been a long while but, have the lights for some time now.
I had them chrome powdercoated black
2 of the 4 are already mounted, is was marked on the inside of the aero grill but now to mount the 2 that go in the middle, I have NO idea how the spacing should be, especially because I have to cut the grill and cant just try how it looks !

Has anybody any ideas ? I tried measuring the space but since the brackets are a bit L shaped its difficult to figure it out

To switch the ligts on, I bought on ebay the middle switch panel, but one that has ASC button on it, which I'm connecting to the relay !
