Replaced driver side grab handle and switches and headlight switch.

Shame because the passenger side handle is in horrible cobdition, much worse than drivers was but apparently is a real pain to change

My bad it was someone else who got a set today lol  :ashamed:

I had the mot before fitting these as the weather wasn't very nice.
I doubt they'd be an issue as the beam on the lights do level to other cars number plates and my colleagues at work say as long as the beam is correct it won't matter. Left side would be slightly higher to illuminate the kerb side which is vosa regulation.

I would say yes they are quit easy as they plug and play units. Only thing you'll need to do is get a 23mm cutter for the holes that are required to feed the cables through the light covers.

I've always found tyre leader the cheapest, however they can take a week or maybe 10 days. If in any rush Camskill is good and normally only a few quid more.

Excuse the filthiness, but 6-pot calipers & 350mm discs now fitted to my Ed30:



Calipers refurbed by myself; the pictures make them look a lot better than in real life!  :rolleye: Braking power is IMMENSE! Driving other cars, brakes just feel sub-standard!

Nice, there's a few now in the forum with those front brakes. For me they were cheaper than the TTRS/RS3 calipers with 340 mm TTS discs or the 370 mm TTRS discs and their braking power is awesome. :drinking:

How much did the whole lot cost you? I've just fitted the brembo 4 pots with 330mm merc ml discs. Looking at your pics I wish I spent abit more just for the look of bigger discs!
