Very nice, a lot of work under the hood.
Just that one itty-bity muffler (loud)? And what about those rims? I believe you said you weren't that fond of them, and - especially with such shiny bumpers - what are you going with? |

Hahahah, I was going to mention that. And when you go to put them on, leave the pieces loose, for wiggle-room.
Nice to have an extra set of hands for mounting too, so I installed a pulley in my roof, and hoisted them up so they hung just-about in place, then bolted it all on. Oh - mine have the bar which goes over and across, so it was easy to attach the rope. See what you can manage, I guess. I never did get the rear bumper to fit - another last-minute job for when I get home. |

I'll be interested to know if you had to get the Dremel out to do any adjustments as I have mine to do soon. Still bubble wrapped in the garage at the moment. Did your set come with rubber trims for the overrider edge to bumper join? Mine are a saloon set from Gordons bulk purchase a while back and didn't have them. I did a deal with Harringtons to get a set of estate rear overriders, they aren't available seperately, and they arrived with some trim. Maybe current sets include this. Good to use anyway, as the joint is often a bit uneven.
