My new swoopy lights arrived today, cracking service from Amazon. I'm not as efficient as Mr willni so it might be a while before they get fitted! The quality looks great, even my OH was impressed but then I'm still not always sure when she's being Ms Sarky...

Do you have a link to where you purchased these from?

One was a private seller, the other was from VFO-Parts on German ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/vfoparts

Many thanks.

Fitted my swoopy lights today. Once one was fitted I put the hazards on to compare new and old and was surprised just how poor the originals were. Barely visible in daylight, the new ones are bright without being excessively so. And they are swoopy. I like that. Easy to fit too. I'd definitely recommend them.

Just washed car before it goes into dealer tomorrow (never like it to go in dirty in case they wash it!). Found what appears to be a major oil leak under the engine.... so fingers crossed it is nothing major    :huh:

Got a clubsport backbox fitted to my 7.5. The exhaust shop had to do some modifications to the piping in order to make it fit but I definitely recommend it! I have a resonator delete on mine too. (Engine was warm and at normal operating temp in the vid.
