Hi, Im looking for a spotlight pod. The ones made of fibreglass that attach to the bonnet, kind of like the picture below. Except for on a mini. 
Does anyone know where i could get one? And how much they cost? If not looks like ill have to make a foam mold and get busy with fibreglass. Cheers, Joe |

Unless you build up an all out rally car I'd have to agree. |

What I think you're trying to say is get a spotlight bar from minisport etc like this one 
Please try to keep you negative comments like those to your self, or say that you don't like them. blue_deluxe might like that style. It's their car and is asking for help in finding out if there is a pert like that for minis. |

Wow, i think i touched a nerve. I figured it as a different alternative to spotties off the front. My other plan is to get 4 big spotties on the front. The pod looks like this 
I apologise for the picture before, just a quick search. |

Not with me, Personally if i think they're styled nicely it'll be different. |

Yeah, if i get something like that theyd be removable. Not all that practical as a daily, but would get a lot of looks on a rally replica. |

 Jimmy i think you need to take a valium or 2   
The light pod isnt (to my knowledge) road legal but here are a few pics of my car and where i've mounted my broad beam and pencil beam lights. I have had them in different configurations and found this to be the best/most effective. I have been questioned once by 1 police officer about their position but he was having a bad night and seemed to not like older cars. 
Anyways here are some pictures of the front of BALLISTIC 
 Personally......do what you like with your car and if you have a vision or look that you wish to achive do it.....you dont have to live inside the square

I had 4 lights (only two of which were wired up, the other two were just dummies for effect) across the front of my car when it went for a RWC in Victoria early last year, and was told: 1. The vehicle can have max. 4 lights fitted, including the headlights 2. Lights mounted above a horizontal line drawn between the headlights are not allowed. I even had to remove the two inoperable, decorative lights to get a pass. As said, this was the requirement in Victoria, Queensland may be different. |
