I would like to retroactively install a rain shower in our 4-year-old rental house. It is important that the existing drill holes can be used for this, which of course initially greatly limits the possibilities (90 cm distance between the two holes at the top and bottom).
My previous research results:
Option 1: with connection at the hose. I see the problem here that most systems have fixed distances at the mounts (e.g. Grohe or Hansgrohe) or want to drill 4 holes in the wall per mount. If you look at Amazon, there are also some with variable mounts, but somehow I can't imagine that these 80 euro systems are any good.
Option 2: Somehow attaching a rain showerhead parallel to the existing system and connecting it to the existing showerhead with a mixing lever system thingy. But this part is mounted with additional drill holes, which of course does not help me. My idea now would be to somehow connect the whole thing reasonably nicely with the existing shower system. Since the current shower system is flexible, something sticks out from the bar, on which theoretically such a rain shower could be attached. Here is a picture of it (maybe someone who knows this type of system can verify that indeed only one drill hole in the joint was used here and not two holes above and below):

Do you maybe have ideas for implementation? maybe you can contribute long-term experiences with such an Amazon rain shower.
