Front bumper iron and skin

[Dieselman]

My front bumper has taken a knock against a post or something at some stage and the steel support is slightly damaged. I've reformed it as best I can today but if anyone has a good one spare it might be worth changing it.

In addition the skin shows a mark which isn't bad but if anyone has an absolutely perfect skin in Mandarin Red it might be worth me changing that as well.

Thats one thing Ive never kept.

S1's seem to be better and rust free... S2's always seem to be VERY rusty

You have been busy Will,

Do you fancy a jaunt over to Ireland...

I've kept the one that was on the Onyx, as the bottom half of the one on my 2.1 Auto is rotten, and I want to change it at some stage.

I'm trying to get the car into some semblence of order...

Todays pics.

I took the o/s wing off as well to clean it out and try to remove a dent...a bit unsucessfully I think..



Anyone for mobile gardening?

Hi Will

Ur engine bay is looking very tidy compared to mine!

Can I ask, once u've removed the wires regulating the headlights' horizontal+vertical orientation, how do u plug back, just push till it pops in? One of the wires is off in my headlight, and I'm affraid of breaking smthing by pushing too hard -headlight is in place, nothing removed-.

thanks

Hi George

If you mean the regulating plastic 'screw' devices tehy are held in place by a sort of bayonet clip underneath, which you squeeze to remove them and will just push back down when engaging with the drive cable.
If you mean the dricvve cable itself then for access it's probably easiest to remove the headlight to gain access, then clip back in to the rear of the lamp unit.

Thanks Will -I meant the second, yes-. Will try to push it back without removing anything first and see.
cheers
