Hi BPman

Planning some mud fun, and to use as my daily most of the time.

I just love driving it, so any excuse and I'm off down the road it frankly!

Mmmm nice! How are your spotlights mounted? Are they straight on the bumper or is there some sort of low-profile bar attached to the bumper that they sit on?

Pete

Hi Pete

They are on small flat brackets that are bolted to the bumper that allow them to sit about 3 inches out from the bumper

I'll try and get a picture laer if that would help

Frankly, not used them that much so far, but they seem pretty solid actually. The bracket is more substantial than the picture
Makes it look. Maybe the only thing I would have done differently is to have a kink in the bar so that they sat a little higher. From certain angles they can obscure the very top of the number plate

Thanks for that. I couldn't really tell from the first picture. It looked like they might be attached to a nice stealthy low-profile 'A-bar'. I've been looking for one for ages but can't quite find the right thing that ticks all the boxes.

Hi Alister and welcome
very smart 90 you have there. I must say I didn't like snorkels at first but they're growing on me. Looks super on yours as do the wheels, the lights...I can feel my wallet emptying again soon dammit !

Thanks Gum97!

Rossy - know what you mean about the snorkel, but it seems to look OK. As for spending more money..... looks like its nver ending .... but its not having much fun in the bank these days, so liberate it !
