Spotties, what ones would you choose?

[Beeper 85]

Long ago, in a galaxy far far away from here, there was a young lad with a 2000 GT Mk3 Cortina. His uncle, a builder, had a Mazda B1800 pickup truck and told him that if the lad would brush paint his truck he would pay him and gift him the Rallygiant spotlights on the front of it. Truck painted and he fitted the Rallygiants to his GT and everything was fine.

Many years passed, the GT was 'taken out' by nature and possibly a numpty in a Talbot Sunbeam (another long story). Years later, in the lads midlife crisis, he decides to revisit his youth and buys a 1600 XL Mk3 Cortina (he couldn't find another 1976 2000 GT at the time). He spotted another pair of Rallygiants on a VW forum and travelled far (28 miles to Salford) to purchase them. Now he had to fabricate mounting brackets, the same as the ones on his GT as the XL had pre drilled holes in the front valance, like the GT. To cut a long story short ("GET ON WITH IT!!") What would you go for?

These, which were 25 quid from a local friendly car parts shop?

 

The Salford Rallygiants?

 

 

With the covers just for a giggle, they won't stay on!

 

Or these, which I have stashed away in a 'safe place' somewhere, but exactly where? That escapes my aging mind at the moment!
