Your's looks cool being dark. Your top markers, was the wiring there like on the pickups? I've got some but not got round to fitting them yet.

Marker wiring is only on chassis cabs, not fitted on vans

Cheers mate. At the top of ur A pillars u have the wiring going to rear lights. I just found the sidelight wire and broke into that. Did u buy new roof markers. If so cause the foam pad is new when u fit them u can bolt them down how there meant to be and the foam creates the water tight seal. Remember the light trick... Swap the left with the right and right with the left. Cause their shaped to the bulge on the tippers roof. Swapping the lights round finds a rough shape for the light to sit on the roof and when bolted from inside it pulls the light and roof panel together.

Yeah cheers for that. They're not new as i've robbed them off a tipper but i might buy some new ones just so it looks cleaner. Handy knowing there's a feed up there.

That looks well smart! Was you kit an ebay kit? Or somewhere else? Also do your modulars fit in the arches or do they stick out?

Thanks mate. Yes its an ebay kit and took some fitting.

Wheels stick out a bit and probably not pass an MOT with them on but i've got the archers from the kit still to fit so i'm gonna flare them out a bit.
