I'd like to know what happened to those lights when the cars hit the deck after landing from the rooftop flight!

Given the lamps are around 140 - 150 GBP ea, the kit at 599 doesn't seem that bad in value. If you are able to bend up the bracket and do all the other fabrication yourself, you could save around 150 doing it this way.

Given - if I recall - the Blue one had it's trailing arms shoved through the boot floor, I don't think the lights would have held aim too well :lol:
