Like many things, if you want a job doing, do it yourself! What hope have you got if a windscreen guy can't get it right. :o

Windscreen fitters don't use sealer these days, but in reality it shouldn't need any - just the poor quality seals we have to live with these days :roll:

The Bumpers are back on minus the overriders[frame]Image[/frame]

the Angel Eyes Are on and work[frame]Image[/frame]

just a few more jobs to do like the brake switch which has died whilst she has been off the road. change the brake fluid and adjust the brakes and she will be on the road.

The car looks good not the hand :( .I cut my leg recently and at the hospital they said that tetanus injections aren't given anymore only antibiotics the cut looks like it needs stitching .Headlamp peaks take 5 mph off your top speed wind drag etc

the stereo is remote control or the wife can do it. it also takes sd cards so prob listen from them rather than radio. got 3 stitches in back of left hand should be out in a week.

Are you going to take them off now think of the person walking past the front of your car or child and the damage it can do and possible court case

what i have done for now is get some fish tank air line cut along its length and place it along the leading edge. if it comes off while driving i will think about removing them.

looks like Henrietta is coming along very nicely... really digging the Matt look :D
sorry to see the hand slice-age, but she does look damn nice with the peaks!

I love it ,
if headlight peaks knock 5 mph off your top speed what do sun visors absorb ?
and I don't know how many times Ive cracked my shins on my traveller rear bumpers , maybe I should take them off incase someone hurts themselves and tries to claim , er no .
It's funny that our curvy rounded cars attract so many squares

Missed this thread - I have warned and warned about the stupid/tacky/dangerous headlamp peaks. They should not be allowed - on so many levels. Sorry to see they have injured you - throw them away! Hopefully others will learn from this....
