The puma apparently had problems with cooling with spots in front of the grille hence the reason why there is not much around for sale to do that job...

Interesting Roy. I have had no issues whatsoever with mine and running temperatures (Scangauge fitted) seem stable in varying ambient temperatures ranging from Summer ones right up to 33 degrees. Winter there is obviously a difference. Do you have any further information/links to this issue? It could be argued perhaps that by masking off part of the front grill cooling may be less effective but the air that does get through may be quicker or more condensed?
I know it has been 'mentioned' on here before but without any supporting facts really? Temperature running slightly reduced and dissipation rate increased with the eventual fitting of a larger intercooler, replacement exhaust system and decat though? My spotlights are I would have thought large enough to cause cooling issues if they do in fact exist.

Design your own, find a local fabricator and get some made up. A few minutes and you could get exactly what you want at minimal cost. I had some spotlight ones made that picked up the original template of the A-Bar mounting itself. I know you don't have an A-Bar but adapting is the key here not an off the shelf solution perhaps?

Thanks K9F, I was actually looking to design my own, just needed inspiration!
Yours look good, and perfect for moving the LF's forwards.
I'll let you know what I come up with.

Your right - which means they must now do it Thumbs Up result

They certainly do the A/C version and it can be mounted top or bottom of the grille, depending on whether a winch is fitted, or personal taste I guess... Thumbs Up

Be aware the Shadow Bar is only good for spots up to 6" diameter though... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green
