Palo London Ubermini Light Bar & Harness

Hi:

I saw this at Alexander MINI in LA when I went in for service. Has anyone installed this kit. I searched and can't seem to find any mention of this on NAM or MINI2. I ordered it because it looked great and the harness is thrown in for free during the month of May. Just wanted to find out what others experiences were with this bar.

seems like a good deal. No details on the lamping... is it included? Cool cockpit switches too.

No the lamps are not included. I am going to have to do some research and figure out what to get.

I guess not too many people have had experience with this bar. It came in on Monday and it looks like it is really good quality. It uses two existing bolts on the frame to mount to so it should be very solid. The wiring harness is very nice and should make installation simple. I ordered 4 Hella 500's off of ebay for a total of $100. Total cost for bar, harness an lights with shipping is $395. I guess after i get the lights in, I might have to make up a DIY

I just installed the lightbar and I think it is very good quality. It uses existing bolts on the frame so it is a solid mount and there is no drilling. It comes with a template to drill the holes for the lights and wires in the lower valence. I got the wiring harness for free with their May special which is normally $100. The wiring harness made it very easy. It was completly plug and play. Four Hella 500's from ebay for $100 and it was done. No DIY, I was rushing to get done, but here are some pics:
