Happy Thanksgiving to us Yanks.
I do not like the original bumpers on my car. I am using the Frogeye type
rear bumper, but would like to use something else up front. Can you send me
photos of what you have done?
I've seen VW type T bars, but the angles are to steep.
Thanks

Mike My front is similar to yours.  Rear is very different.
 
BTW  This car is still for sale.

Mike I found a couple better views of the front and rear.

In case you have not figured it out the extra pair of lights covers the bumper bracket holes in the shroud (with the help of some special molded rubber covers).  I have the complete rear bumper professionally rechromed attached to bumper brackets which can be refitted in less than an hour.  Wiring in of the lights was relatively simple.
 
Lamps on front have been on the vehicle for 14 years and no break yet.  Anytime you put them on there is that chance, however, even if placed on a badge bar.

My front set up is essentially the same.  I wanted the auxiliary lights to
nest in the contours of the shroud, and fabricated the mounts accordingly
from a spare set of bumper brackets.   10+ years without damaging the
lights.
