I like the Alta one but it seems to require more modifications to the mini (cutting of the grill). I know the grill isn't that big of deal and can be easily cut but I wish an aftermarket grill with the holes molded in was out there. Sometimes cutting something like that (at least for me) can end up being a hack job.
I am leaning towards the Palo Uber one since you only have to drill holes in the lower lip and it gives me the option to just having 2 lights instead of 4.
Keep in mind I am no running the aero bumper just the standard one.

I purchased a used grille light bar with Hella driving lights off eBay last summer. Since then I've seen the same set-up in a couple of photos in the Moss catalogue, but, not offered for sale. It's a chromed metal bar that holds the Hella driving lights. No drilling necessary. It has bolts that reach through the front grille slats. It has metal plates behind the grill. Nuts behind the plates secure it to the grille. I had it wired so I can unplug the lights and remove the entire unit without any hassle. Very easy and it looks good. Many people that have seen it are really interested in the set-up. It is not currently available in the Moss catalogue. I haven't seen it anywhere else. I'd actually like to know more about it too. It works great and it really couldn't be easier to put on or take off!

Drive into the light
I have a homemade set-up like "twistysister". The brackets mount on the hood. The light bar, which is black and flush with the grill, has long bolts that go through the grill and mount to the bracket. The lights do not stick out past the front bumper. When the bar is not installed, you see nothing but the Mini nose. The lights are 100 watts "Eagle Eye" cheapo's from JC Whitney($40/set) but give off 380,000 candlepower/set. They worked great at night while on the Dragon. Whenever our group went out at night they always put me in front.

The after was after hitting a deer on the way to Midnight on the Dragon. I saw him though!

From what I have been reading this seems to only be with the aero bumper. Do you have the standard or aero bumper? Could you give a little info on your install?

I actually like the gap in the middle and the fact the lights sit a little lower than the Alta. Honestly, I prefer just mounting of 2 lights (inside ones) and the Alta doesn't give me that flexability without seeing the part of the light bar.
