Why post a pic of a MY11 on model as it has a different grill and bumper to your hatch??


Hella horns - you'll find the second OEM horn in the Right hand wheel arch behind the mud guard



Which means if you extend the feed wire of the Hi side horn to the middle of the grill area you don't need a relay setup like earlier models (OEM horns fed by same wire) just the standard wiring.

Just paint, though a matt clear coat might be advisable also for bit better protection, though mine has faired pretty well bar one heavy chip from a stone

Wheels done and car will soon be on its way to Neil at Slowboy for some work

But next, I want to get the headlights and rear light clusters sorted. I would like to replace both sets, so what is recommended? Who does quality headlight and rear light clusters? Im looking at eBay and googling, but looking for quality items and Im not sure.
