Right this is doing me nut in now. i cannot find ANYWHERE in the uk that sell Hella spot lights like this :


but for the bottom grille part like the car on the top right of this link Display Products.

Thats my first problem, my second problem is that i might have to drille through the grille to hold it up, would the brackets that normally go on the top fit on the bottom grille?
and more importantly, would it affect airflow to the radiator and intercooler enough, that i may have to reconsider it on the bottom grille??

Palo Uber MINI...

Hello mate.

The only kit I know of is made by 'Palo Uber MINI'. I cannot find a UK site which supplies this light bar, but the cheapest I could find it on the net is on this site here (their own online shop), pricced at $305 (about: £150)

It is designed for either TWO or FOUR lights, personally I think four looks awesome

Palo Uber London THE LIGHT BAR by Palo Uber Mini London...THE ORIGINAL !!!!!

However, this does not include the Hella lights themselves, but I cant see them being too expensive. (E-Bay or similiar)

This is what there website has to say about the light bar....

This comes as standard equipment on new Palo Uber Mini Cooper S cars. Wiring harness with all connectors for easier installation is included. Powder-coated faceplate mounts under the toggle row with 2 illuminated independent circuitry switches. Improves any driving condition you may encounter as well as creating an absolutely dynamic visual enhancement to your Mini Cooper S.

Lights sold seperatley

Heres a pic of the light bar and its contents...



Heres a pic of the lightbar on the Uber MINI, which I'm sure you will agree looks pretty amazing.



Hope this is of some help to you?

James.

P.S. This is the official website for Palo Uber MINI.

PPS. Just realised this is for a second gen car, so I dont know whether all that above info is gonna be of any use! Never mind, that will teach me for not looking at the forum properly!

Man those are definately the coolest lights ive seen. But unfortunately they only have the light bar for the previous gen bumper. Ive emailed them to ask about if they have an r56 one but theyve not answered yet.
