It was bumper to bumper at the Reading Festival last weekend

.... and the taxi didn't stand a chance! (I wasn't driving, honest!)

Unfortunately the nearside spot was knocked off in the process.

Can anyone help identify the bracket and if I can get a spare on there please? It seems to be a pretty robust fitment, going into a post fitted to the chassis.

TBH the spots are pretty naff, but they are a good identifying feature. I've got a spare set of 8" L-R ones somewhere, so might take this as an opportunity to fit them - but I know they don't come with the plastic shrouds.

Think they’re original factory brackets.
If these price of these are anything to go by I hope you have the pieces and some superglue Very Happy

Check through the hole if the metal brackets are present?

I've seen these - https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/xqb50008...t-kit.html

and I think I'll be speaking nicely to my son who has a 3D printer Shocked

Maybe I can just remove the spot bracket and see how I can attach new spots and hope it doesn't look too scrappy.

Careful on the John craddock ones. They’re D3 spots, bumpers are slightly different D3 to D4, May fit but expensive gamble Smile

Worth trying the 3d print option, use the other side as a template 2008 HSE Stornoway Grey

Thanks Kevin. The mounting bolt is a 17mm socket, so pretty sure I can fit new spots to it. Might have to get creative to make the brackets look neat.
