Interior/Exterior Question: Foglights...
Here's a thought... 2 up on the grill and 2 below. The top could be fog while the 2 below for driving. Set up 2 switches accordingly.
I may have to find a front view and Photoshop it to see how that looks.

I don't think that the 7" Hellas would fit, at least when mounted to the Alta bar. The 6" IPF's barely fit as it is...
I think the guys at Alta picked the largest driving light that they could for that sized grille opening, (the 6" IPF). Also, being mounted so low, that is actually a BAD place to mount "driving" lights (i.e. another set of high-beams).
That's also why Alta went with the IPF lights; they're dual-purpose. The inner part of the reflector, nearest the bulb, is actually ribbed vertically, to throw light like a fog lamp would. But then the rest of the reflector is parabolic, like a big spot light. The resulting beam is the best of both worlds; a spot/high beam AND a wide, dispersed fog beam.
So as you can see, Alta put a lot of thought into exactly what would be the perfect size light, with the best beam pattern for that location on a MINI.
Now, will it fit on an Oricari front end, I don't have any idea!
