Thank you so much !
I also came across a picture of someone placing the LED light bar at the same location as yours but covered the entire middle section of bumper. Must be 30-40 in light bar. I will try to post a picture of it later.

i had a 30” in my Range Rover that I moved over to the G63 when I first got it in the fall...it’s just a little too wide to fit between the two verticals bars on the bull bar.... but fits perfectly under the bumper in that center slot!!! I go between having the bull bar on and off... when it’s off, I put the led bar here...

probably a 28 would fill out the space but then you can’t get a BD bar!!!

I was about to ask the same question... I think you may be right on the color.
Mine is Palladium Silver and it is shade lighter.

Pretty sure it is not BD light bar but fits perfectly in that space!

Looks sweet...it must mount from the rear vs the BD from the ends.....gotta be a 28"... the 30" I have that fits under the bumper is a BlackOak and its definitely too big to fit in there!!

It looks clean but most likely holes have to be drilled into bumper, versus using your clamps method.
Not a fan of drilling holes into any surfaces of the bumper or body so yours is the better option for me.

I have seen some retro, traditional, big, and round LED driving\fog lights that looks pretty good mounted on the bull bar as well.

The other method I was thinking about using (which may be what they did in the above pic) that doesn't require drilling a hole in the bumper, is using the two existing holes that are pre-made/drilled into the lower bar. I think it was already threaded for a bolt and then you could buy an LED that has these kinds of mounts vs a side mount.....just couldn't find one that was decent quality that used this kind of mount....

Great to know about those pre-drilled holes, I will have to look into it for sure.
You are correct, most quality brands are side mounted from my research so far.

Remember the retro round shape lights I was telling you that would look good also ?
Check out Clearwater Led lights.

Looks awesome man love that color. Saw a similar color I saw one here on Long Island Ferrari dealer had it. I picked up a 14 over the summer. Slowly modifying it. Got way more planned.

How’s the taillights? I got those too but gave up wouldn’t work right/too much **** to put. I ended up going with mansory clear tails.

I did the same headlights as well and spacers gave it a miner lift.

curious to see the facelift steering go in
