Re: Light Bar
Can't remember if you have a rack on Mark If not an option is a roof bar and mount the light above or below. Above with standard rails but you can get it below with the extended ones as they go out over the lower roofline. Stunning throw from up there & far enough back not to glare off the bonnet. You do loose opening the sunroof though with the underslung option, but with aircon who does anyway?!

Light Bar
If your mounting directly above the bumper and flush into the grill check how much angle you lose on the light.
You could find the light never hits the floor unless your facing a hill!

Re: Light Bar
Rich, that's the kind of thing I was thinking of if I win the lotto as I'm not interested in a roofrack; what size bar is that for such a snug fit?

Re: Light Bar
42" About £120 from Australia delivered on eblag... You do have to cut the end cap plastic a bit if underslung. (And need the long rails).

Re: Light Bar
Is that all? Glad I didn't manage to buy a mis-priced 52" I was looking at! It'd have stuck out over the sides!

Re: Light Bar
This looks pretty much like it, £98 delivered
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/42-240W-LED-F ... 418c40fd09" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Found the one I got in history... I paid £120, now £88 delivered...

Edit... As fitted the one in pic above to support D4 in Iceland I have just ordered another as such a good deal now!!

Re: Light Bar
Other than the size, that's an incredible price!
Edit - OK, now size is right
Thanks!

Re: Light Bar
I got the 24" it was £50 ,
I don't have a roof rack, although it's on my win list, I do have some roof bars, might have a look at using them, not sure I am brave enough to cut my car up
