Errr yeah kind of. His name is Simon and he's just sold that car after doing the Preston road rally in it (ie the photos you're looking at).
The spot light stays just unclip.

No idea about the super oscar mounts - suck it and see I guess

Might be a case of running some mounts out in front of the bumper - should be too hard!
I'm running a Hella grille at the moment. I used the black GLT without any spots, just some uprated bulbs, so the Hella lights should be a big improvement!

The hella grill is an improvement Carl, I've had a few guys not overtaking me on rally's so they can see where they are going

Guys, I can get hold of a pair of uber sized Marshall's (I think thats what they are) seemingly the dogs danglies in the 60's, but one lens is cracked, anyone know the chance of getting another lens?
