Fitted led lights in the back and door lights just need to get them coded. Can anyone let me know how this is done?

Bought an used roof box, when both seats are in there are not much room left, about a foot in the trunk, i just fit the Chicco Lightway Stroller (if yo take of the front wheels)..

"Cute" was the word my oldest daughter called it.

Heres a pic of my beautiful assistant holding the bottom clamp with the elongated clearance hole i had just machined in. Image and heres a pic of the other being machined out on the mill. Image

This way saved me adding an extra chunk of steel and lowering even further. Keep it simple i always say Image

Sure. In the rear lowering kit there is 3 plates one with two welded scollops on to locate onto the axel, this you do not modify! The other two plates i modified as to pull the axle back in line. The plate you see in the picture is the bracket that sits underneath the axle and spring (very bottom clamp) the hole in this is just a clearance hole to allow the centring pin in the spring to locate in the upper plate. Now the other plate i have not pictured comes from factory with a single 15mm hole in to allow the spring to locate. As i needed to move the axle back 15mm i drilled an hole off to one side of the original hole for the locating stud to drop in.
If it ain't broke, brake it and make it better :P

Started to put some plywood in on the passengerside:

In case anybody is wondering, the white plate is for my trailer, and the black boxes are from an ECS towbar wiring kit.

Next step is the driversside.

I did the same when I fitted the stereo myself. Blew a fuse which is located in the fuse box under the bonnet.

Fitted some extra USB outlets in each side, was only just deep enough to clear.
