I'm not there yet Comms :sad1:

I have all the bits and pieces now but I'm in need of some coding assistance to get it all in and working (Darren has kindly agreed to assist when he is free). I am going to do a retro fit properly with washers, auto levelling and the xenons fitted at once.

Its not the full list above, although its quite close. I will have some spare hose soon if your interested as my parts guy gave me a full 5 metres (which I doubt I will need). I will need to fit mine first though.

Ive just finished spraying my bumper mouldings that attach to the jets and they have come out quite well. Be careful you get the right ones if you buy them new as there are 4 listed.


You'll get there soon enough im sure  :happy2:

That's my exact intention aswell. To do the whole lot in one go to make sure its fully road legal once installed.  Just make sure you don't throw that "parts number list" away once you're done, as im going to need a copy lol  :grin:

If you have any spare bits that I can use after you're done i'll be happy to take them off you if no one wants it.

By the way, are you doing the install yourself?

If the weather stays like this mate was thinking of brushing the dust off the soldering iron and sorting my tool box out for next weekend????

Let me know if you have any free time Bodger?

Cheers

I haven't Darren. I figured that we could cut a hole in it and fit the pump and rubber grommit in the existing bottle. I hardly ever run out of fluid so not too bothered about a larger one.  I saw someone do it in a guide you posted a while back.
