I added my front and rear mudflaps, minisport 4 spotlamps, Cooper S Fuel Cap, Stickers, Clear indicator bulbs, sharkfin side grills today.

Think it looks cool.

I have uploaded some pics to my gallery if you would like to see.

Started at 9am and finished by 3:30pm (in time for football!).

Had the help of my old man aswell, but it went well.

The only thing we didn't get round to doing was wiring in the spotlights, so they are just for show until next weekend.

sounds good. i am planning to fit mudflaps at the front, just want to know when you drill a holes through the plastic arches in the front, does it penetrate any metal body work or metal panel beneath the plastic trim?

No you don't drill into bodywork, just plastic trim. they are dead easy to fit. Might have to remove the wheel depending on the size of your drill, if you have a small drill you might be able to do it with wheel at full lock. As I've got a big one, I had to remove the wheel

30 mins for both sides.

Nice pix JTT. Were the MiniSport 4 lamps fairly easy to fit? Roughly how long did it take the 2 of you to fit just them?

Also JTT, to put the sharkfins in, do the standard black ones just clip out? From outside the car, or from under the bonnet?
Sorry about all the Q's

hey jtt

cheers for that

but what i meant to say is there any metal bodywork behind the plastic trim..........just in case if i drill too deep, the hole will eventually go into the metal body work.

cheers mate

Don't think so, but as its only thin plastic you don't have to push hard to drill through. Won't be a problem
