Always makes me think when I drive past a scrapyard - at some point, the cars in the pile have sat gleaming in a showroom with someone choosing paint colours and options...

Best of luck JB.

Mixed feelings on a Fail on mine..


Headlight Aim too high - they sorted
Nearside Wishbone ball joint has excessive play....and likely cause of my clunk...

So disappointed....but very happy if it sorts my clunk out!

will probably order one of those bolt on replacements, unless im told they are a bad idea?

I notice that razzo has fitted these on his.  :y I will probably go down that route when mine need changing. Can't see why bolts compared to rivets would cause any issues.  :-\
My fun car is a 2020 Bmw F32 430d M Sport with indicators.
My cruiser is an Audi A6 Avant S Line Black Edition with indicators.
