Test fitting a light bar

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. We got our hands on a Countryman and we recently did a dry test fit. So far everything seems to really line up well with the car and we should have a working prototype by next month.

I'm not announcing our company info yet. I'm just hoping to get some feedback before we invest in the development and can then properly advertise here. Lights and other colors would be additional.
The bars and powder coating are made in the US.

For an example of previous work showing a finished product. Here is one we did for the Forester.




Here is the test fit for the CountryMan light bar.










Hope you guys like it, we are excited about it and can't wait to finish the development. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback.

I dont like it.

Looks to get in front of the brake ducts, and while they are worthless, aesthetically that hurts. Also would get in way of any tow hook license plate mounts.

Also does it work with the ever popular JCW lip? Might want to find out. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ps621bee9e.jpg


Seems like the bars want to come in just between the brake ducts. Would also mimic the lines of the lower part of the grill IMO...but I assume they are located due to placement of mounting points.

Looks good.

Im new to this forum and i have been searching for a bull bar for my 2014 mc base model. Would your protype work for a base model mc?I noticed the one you have modeled is for an S. I know the license plate placement and grill are in different spots between the models. Please advise. Thanks

The Original poster has never come back on here. Maybe contact whatever "Rally Innovations" is and see.

Hi, we decided to shelve the project for now. We weren't seeing a lot of response from the various outlets and we decided to invest money on inventory for other project instead. If it should change, I'll be sure to post on here again.
