A how to will be quite hard as Baz cut the covers I just had to finish off the end where it curved also getting the right indicators is going to be hard as I got some from the same the chap that Baz said were right but they have changed slightly.

If I get you the part number you can get the bits and then I can do the howto without having to drill my rivets out.

its about £110 for all the parts and I'll fit it free and ill chuck in the rivets.

Longer since October (NO NEED TO SHOUT AT ME)

Anyway my plan for today was to fit the mirrors and do the howto for the puddle lights & yes also the draw.

That got chucked out the window as I had to cut away a lot of the mirror inside.

After doing that I wasn't happy with having the Circuit board in the mirror housing so I set about changing the way it was done,

Here's today results





Both mirrors are done and ready to fit but unless I can get the wife out over the weekend it will be next week now.

Right Got rid of the wife for a couple of hours so off to fit and get the Puddle light how to done

I've drilled some holes in the mirror so the water drains as it holds water and there is no way of it draining

Done took awhile as I did some other bits.
