Ebay maybe.

These are cool too. Due to extreme cure of bonnet they have to be pointed inwards instead of front to back, attaching point is to front panel.

Jeep Wranglers used to have something like that, so you might look on some Wrangler sites and see if there's something that would work.

Gray, I'm looking at getting these for carbon fiber VIS on my 04 R53. Do you know of any photos/diagrams that show the actual mounting point for the R53s? I'm just having a hard time visualizing how they will work on there. Thanks!

There is a challenge MINI that has these. I think it is a 2nd gen though.
