So, 1st dry day and I managed to fit the diffused LED’s into the door handle recesses

Camera makes them brighter than they are in the flesh

Image

Image

I might increase the LED resistance to dim them a bit more.

Tried to make the wiring as OEM as possible, even though it’s behind the door card! Didn’t have the correct connectors though Image

Image

Image

Hard wired my new dash camera in too, motion sensor now operational.

And went for a bit of fun on the trails, what a difference it makes being able to get all my kit in and bike too!

Colour coded eyebrows installed as well rear spoiler reattached, albeit properly this time Image

Both sides of my rear spoiler were being held in place by gravity, eek!

Image

And what happens when you paint the underneath of the spoiler prior to attaching, not clever!!!

Oh, and seeing as I was taking the Caddy dash out to install air con it would have been rude not to fit a Touran dash, awesome!

Image

Air con heater box and climatic controls fitted along with all the cab and engine bay wiring, waiting on 1 more hose arriving before running the pipes, fitting the condenser, compressor and drier then vacuuming out the moisture and gassing her up and trying it out before the summer heat turns to winter!
