General Spot Lamps on a Cinquecento

[RS-1989]

Hey
Has anybody on here fitted spot lamps like Hella 3000 or Cibie Oscars to there Cinq?

Iv'e a set of Hella 2000 that i got from my uncle and think they would look good on the Cinq.

I just wana know what type of brakets would be best, or where is best to fix them to, ill probably make the brakets my self

Any info will help

Thanks

I think the rally cars had them in a detachable glass fibre pod on the bonnet. Probably too big to mount downstairs like the Imola and Mitsubishi Evo.

here is what i fitted to mine

Before I had the bonnet pod I fitted largish spots, not on my face. I mounted brackets through the front bumper onto the bolts that hold the bumper on, then mounted them down the way putting adjustable stays onto right angled brackets pop rivetted onto the bumper. If you mount them up the way you'll have a job finding somewhere for the stays.

Cheers

Ok, the type of thing i had in mind are the type fitted to Road Rally cars
If you dont know what type they are, heres and example (im the navigator in the pic )

Lamp pod would be kinda big and OTT, i want! But its expensive

the reply only came up properly after i posted again sorry, but yeah thats the type i want. I take you mean the bit where the bumper goes onto the slam pannal/crosmember?

 

[rallycinq]

Yup, thats what I meant. I did the West of Scotland night nav championship for many years before my illness.

Cool cool thanks, gona go for the road rally style with the car now. If i wasnt going to uni in september id be going the whole hog, cage, buckets etc. Because around here us 'young guns' arnt your usual body kit brigade and stupid flashing lights, were all about rally cars! as my driver in that pic is only 19 and built it all him self. And the oldest guy whos driven for me on road events is 20!

Anyway Thanks! ​

Ah yeah, the second pic, with the covers, i forgot havnt got the stays on them, there mounted from the back of the lamp to the bonet. They did wable a bit without them but not as bad as i thought. But there a lot better with the stays

 

[RS-1989]
