I love it...! 8) But what about positioning the scoop a little further back with the screen wash jets positioned on top toward the back of the scoop?? :idea: :arrow:

With. Looks superb!

Can I ask what size are your spot lights? I have a bull bar on mine and have removed the horrible original fog lights.
Have been struggling to decide what to replace them with. Was erring on the side of rectangular spots but your round ones look good.
Also, any tips on getting the bull bar as shiny as yours? Mine is quite dull and has rust stains from the old fogs lights.
Kind regards.

the spots that were on there before were rusty and that spread to the bull bar, but a little bit of polish and some elbow grease did the trick, i expect my new ones to rust as they were only £20 but ill keep an eye on them but if they last a couple of years then ill just replace again

Thanks for your reply. I've ordered a pair of spots as well as cooking up a bug tub of elbow grease. Your Bongo looks the bees knees!

That would work if the bonnet opened from the rear, the lil fiat 500 used to crack open the engine cover like that on origionan Abarth. :wink:
