It's now on the correct car - the +8 V8.

I have a few WMD plates - V8, V12 and W12. They were funny at the time. smile

I wonder if that's legal to use on dipped beam?


I used to have them on a 1303S Beetle, they were called Bi-Oscars back then and there were two model.

Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I think a set of 'period' looking spots would look great on the front of my 4/4 but share your reservations about drilling into the bodywork.

I just saw this. The photos that I took just after I had the Borghi badge bar and driving lights fitted are in this thread.

The bar is anchored to the overiders and the cabling is hidden behind the overiders.

I'll Post them here anyway.







PS. There is also a thread on the same subject here.

Looks like a win, win with that setup Peter. You brace the flimsily mounted overriders and in so doing provide a braced mount for the spot lamps located each side of grill thumbs

It does seem clever. Must resist the urge to splurge.

Definitely looks the business

Nicer then having to drill the ali and nicer looking than the spot brackets

Looks nicely engineered, and the classic Lucas lamps look great

That was one of the things that impressed me. The whole setup becomes quite rigid and stable, overriders included.

It does require two holes drilled in the overriders but once fitted you are unlikely to want to remove it again..
