Ah I wasn't sure if I was going to do the front but if it's easy enough to do while the top parts on I will. Can't wait to get them on!

It took two of us a good while to do it, mainly because the main bumper flexes - but definitely a DIY

My folding mirrors with puddle lights arrived today. Got an extra surprise........anti dazzle glass! Wee bonus!

Pity is snowing!

Careful you don't break them, new glass from a stealer is £130!

check to see if the wiring is there for it, on Nadlad's car it needed both sides run to the rear view mirror

It's got the loom to the connector that hooks up to the door module, its only got it on the drivers side right enough.

The wing mirror might have the loom, but the wire needs to be connected to the interior rear view mirror

Received these in the post today  :jumpmove: I've gone for gloss black on the lower inner sections still waiting for the toe cap and front inner piece to arrive. Any tips on fitting these?



ready to fit's website's pictures & descriptions are a bit hopeless.
could you list the parts and their part numbers you have bought from them please.
what colour are they? looks too pink for tornado red?

Just picked up the Eddy - new front wing, front splitter redone and looking good again, plus a deep scrape on the rear 1/4 panel done.

Very happy with the work and to have him back.

That's probably down to the lighting and camera

Had mine fitted yesterday, certainly stiffer pedal, but gear uptake much better, and yes, no slippage!  :driver:

If I was you I'd wait for the front centre part to arrive and put it together off the car as its a bugger to do once fitted to the car

Side skirts are simple enough just 2 screws either end and hang on the mounting strip, then either use adhesive foam tape or tiger seal to stick the top edge to the side of the car

Rear valance is either a take the whole bumper off which I think needs the lights off to or just take your time and do it attached to the car

Patience and taking your time with the clips is the key  :happy2:

Haha yes agreed!

Funny how I now look at cars generally, think how awful wheel gap is and that all cars need to be lowered!!
