Default A couple of cheap mods!

A few snaps of my tinkering....

Just had to lose that rear fog light, it looked so unbalanced. It was either a case of sourcing a LHD cluster which were in abundance oon ebay US but the shipping was obscene, or bite the bullet and open the bugger up.
It was a right git to do but it looks so much better now:

Before:


After:


I picked these foglamp covers up off the 'bay for a tenner and finally got round to painting them this week. I wasnt quite sure how they'd look but I love 'em to bits now.

It was already fitted when I bought the car mate. Ive taken the the ball off now, buts its just two bolts to refit it.
Ive seen quite a few Wagons towing caravans and boats, not a horsebox though. Have a look in your manual, it will tell you the max towing weights in there.
