Aluminium mounting brackets are probably a better option anyway Les although they don't look as integrated. I've always found the manufacturers put the permanent ones in the wrong spot anyway, and they are in the way if you want to mount rod holders etc. The biggest issue I see with the front end design, high beam lights etc is mounting spotties - looks like a light bar mounted somewhere will be the option instead of twin spotlights. Just need to work out how to mount it on the bar, as I'm not keen on putting it on the roof.
