Can you ever say FIN?

I don't think you can, as there's always something, but it's now all cut and polished, including the roof, so it'll do. So, as it was a nice day yesterday, went and got some decent photos of it in its glory. I still need to underseal the arches, and need to trace a donk donk donk that got worse when we all went out in it. Hopefully, again be something silly and quick to fix :)

Learn something new every day! It appears my rear lights are wrong, 10 points for anyone who spots how/why they're incorrect :)

Thanks Junkyard :)

PLEASE tell me you aren't replacing your brake and reverse light covers with orange indicator ones to make them blend in ;)

Are they upside down - you have the left on the right. Looking above at photo 1 side view it seems they are pointing down towards the ground :?: :?:

Well done that man! They went on the same as they came off, easy to tell as one had a snapped thread which was always on the OS. There was a discussion on a fb group that they were both the same and made no difference when someone pointed out they were on the wrong way round. Now rectified and now it's so bloody obvious!

Only downside is, where they'd been wrong for so long, the inside of the lenses at the bottom have discoloured with having dirt and grime sitting in there, did try to clean, but may need running through the dishwasher...

I should have spotted that, however I'm obsessed with noticing Dolomites whose front indicator/marker lamps are the wrong way round (yeah, yours are correct) so rear ones tend not to register. :lol:
