Driving lights

Hi, I have just purchased a 05 JCW MCS with full body kit.
I want to add some driving lights can this be done without damaging or altering the grill in case they are taken off in the future?

If you want to put them on the bonnet then the aero grill will have to be cut a little to let the brackets come through. I have wanted to do this for a while but don't know where to get a guide to show me where to cut.

I'm not sure this is what you are looking for, but on Outmotoring http://www.outmotoring.com/pages.php?pageid=3
in the "how-to", oem driving lights, page 5, a template for cutting the mesh grille in the sport package is included.

There is another light bracket that fits with no visable modifications if it needs to be removed in the future. See the attached photos. It is a very nice bracket.

Who makes that bracket? I like having my driving lights mounted high like that. What I'm using now has them lower than what's ideal.
