How 'bout the wiring problem you had - any assistance or was that a trial and error solution also?

 

Trial and error of course. Luckily I have a friend who is into Ham Radio down the street. He helped me go through and test everything until we figured out where the problem was.

 

Great..... It's definitely not a DIY job for me then...not yet anyway. Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'll wait for Palo Uber to improve the instructions a bit.

 

Now that I know where the wiring problem lies it should be realitvely simple install for the wiring. The most difficult part is the tightening of the nuts on the lamps themselves which must be done AFTER the bumper is remounted back to the car.

 

Came across your thread about palo uber claiming their is no drilling required when there is....to set the record correctley lets call like it is. There is absolutley no drilling or leveling of steel when installing the light bar by palo uber mini london. This is clearly stated in the product description of the light bar on the online store. The only drilling is through your lower plastic dam which, unlike all competitors, allows your lamp post to be mounted to the laser cut tabs which are completely consealed inside your lower dam. There is no drilling of steel like all of the competion, only plastic .....The palo uber mini company prides themselves on producing the worlds finest product. Unlike the competition, our light bar is stainless steel and powder coated. Unlike the competion our wiring harness is not strands of exposed wires but professionally compiled of the highest grade wire and fittings and then fully bound, sealed for moisture resistant enjoyment. We have attempted to provide a complete kit including fuses , relays and quick connects along with powder coated faceplates etc.We always look for a better way to improve our product that other manufacturers continually try to duplicate. Always feel free to contact me directley if you are frustrated or have a better idea on how to do what we are trying to assist all of you in accomplishing.

We sincerely appreciate your business and we sincerely want your feed back.

 

That's a pretty strong statement

 

You must admist thou, the stuff they are coming out with is pretty cool stuff and very good quality. Lightbar, rear spoiler etc.

I will post my details, I should be getting that light bar very soon

 

The alta looks to be alot nicer than the palo uber.

and that spoiler... i hate to break it to you, it can be had for 45 bucks on ebay...

I dont like beating on vendors, but this palo uber thing sounds pretty fishy to me.

 

Please send me the link to the spolier that works and looks the same please

Save me $250 !!

 

Curious what that spolier produces downforce wise?

 

It creates a bling vortex that forces the car to the ground with the power of $325!

 

It appears to extend the stock spoiler (which produces no more downforce than the dead weight hanging off the back).

 

What makes the $550 stripes so much better than any other vinyl on the market?

Not trying to start trouble but you have to admit... that's a bit outrageous for some stripes.

 

We should probably just keep this over on mu as to not anger any vendors.

 

Good call.

 

Agree to disagree.

I would love to see them prove that they are the "world's finest product"(much like the 'show me the numbers' movement).

 

test

 

As far as the light bar goes, barring the instructions which need to be updated for clarity, it is truly a quality product. I have used several other light bars and all suffered from severe vibration while driving. After some on road tests with this bar at night, it is the best so far. Little to no vibration barring the most jarring surfaces and even then most of the virbration was coming from my factory headlamps.
The wiring harness was professionally finished (better than anything else I've been sent), only the switches needed to be changed to work as wired.
In the end I have a product that is much more satisfactory than any I have used before even if it was a bit more difficult to install.
My main reason for coming on here was to try and find someone who had completed this install and faced the same problems. Not bash Palo Uber. They were out for the holiday's like everyone else.
At least now if Palo Uber is not available again, I can help a fellow MINI owner with a question about the install. That is what this board is about right?
Enjoy the New Year everyone!

 

Placed my order today for my new Palo Uber light bar No areo kit so the instal should be a snap !

 

This is a nice set-up if anyone is interested............

Installed it about 3yrs ago and hardly any vibration except of course over rough roads.....It was $400 shipped at the time.

Check my gallery for pics......

 

You could PM me and I could give you an earful. I bought a few of their products and I would never deal with them again. BTW I am almost sure their Bryce Smythton is a made up person as well, used whenever there is a problem with a customer. Just my feeling!

 

Bryce, is a real dude, he actually has called me more than once. And a crazy bloke at that.

My install was easy, as I do not have the aero kit, as I stated before show me how it does not fit on the aero kit.

 

with mine im going to try and run one set to the front fog lights and the other to the highbeams anyone know what wires ill have to tap to complete this?
