On the downside though, the relay which i need (number 427) has already been sold with the interior loom, so looks like Ill have to buy a brand new one, and they are about £40 quid - madness!

Excellent :)

An update:

Need a new windscreen to fit the rain sensor to, but in the mean time, black interior dimming mirror FTW!

Treated myself to a Sunglasses holder and some new brake pads earlier (more of a purchase for when they are needed, as the existing pads are like new still!) Currently looking into another little mod ;)



Need to get some new number plates made up, but really cant decide whether to get GB ones or not. Opinions?

Ive never really liked pressed plates - not really my scene lol

Right well that confirms my thoughts. Non GB it is!

Now to find somewhere that can make a good quality set of plates! Recommendations?

I'd have to agree with the others no GB band for me.I would go anywhere to have them made up,trouble with laminate plastic plates is they'll always weather and eventually start to seperate.Mind you yours is tucked away this time of year :wink:

Its gotta be printed letters for me. I hate number plates where the letters are laid in place then stuck to the laminate - they fall apart over time lol
