I think round headlamps need round foglamps and vice versa

try hanging them underneath the bumper or swop them for a pair of round ones. Or do the "swop" with photoshop. As they are now i liked the car more without them...

I'd prefer the round types above the bumper. Square lamps don't suit them.. That goes for the Jubilee's Too!!

Spots

Hmm. This style look great on Rover P6's below the bumper. I think the problem here is the same as the old Dolomite.

Not enough width on the front end with the indicator/sidelamps under the bumpers with the underiders fitted.

If you remove the underiders and fit the lamps, you loose the TC identity of the car, and the spots fitted where they are presently, look like the model (forgive me, new to Marina's! :oops: ) with the lamps fitted in the same place albeit within the grill, from the factory.

I think a set of circular lamps in the current position would look much better.

However, I'm not known for my taste as I have a set of 2 up and 2 down lamps on my Manta!!! :lol:

Jim, I like them but that because my old Jubilee had them and it was sentimental!! :shock:
I was planning to put a pair on my Jubilee but the chrome back type.
But with the Jubilee you have already got lower rectangle fogs like Dorris has!! Each to his own and if you like it then thats what you should do!

The car looks great full stop, as long as you don't pop a air damm spoiler on the front!!! :lol:

Cheers,
Paul.
