As is, but swap the spots for smaller ones..
Better scale. That would be my choice, too  Big lamps belong on rally cars and 4x4

Adrian had some nice smaller spots on his Roadster which were mounted on the front panel. The Red car has sold but the photos showing them are still on the Berrybrook site if you want to check them out. http://www.berrybrookmorgan.co.uk/morgans-for-sale/417-morgan-roadster-s2712

I had a similar epiphany last year and removed the badges, wing mirrors, bonnet strap, headlight guards, and over-riders that were in place when I got the car. All the gubbins just seemed to detract from the purity of the design.

Size of spots on my former car. I looked for her in the archives...and for the moment I feel so wistful.  Same size as P4SS spots.

... Well you did ask...  I did and it is a genuine question And on balance of comments and thoughts, I think I'm definitely going to debadge and think about smaller spots - I've got one Lucas spot which I can try and find another to match

Keep the spots and ditch the badges. I had bumpers fitted to Nero last December and have fitted spots. The badge bar has been on, off, back on and now off full time! I much prefer the cleaner look.
I started my Morgan "career" preferring the clean look of no bumpers at all, then fitted over riders to my 4/4 but with my black Roadster, I like the classic look of bumpers.

Hi Stewart, since Ranieri got his cards there's a gap in the market for tinkering. Don't forget you do need to see where you're going on dark country lanes, I have found spotlights in conjunction with full beam indispensable and the one extra I would not want to be without.
