:lol: you lot!

The clips are that hard plastic stuff and very well built, almost like bakelite so it is sweet.
Also thought the same about wheel size.
Plastic scoucer eh? I'd put Ned in a similar locale, so the only reason we'd have spares is coz we pinched them la. :lol:

I was parked next to a blue limited custom today and it had grey bumper coloured arches that were very thin and looked like the mk7 ones, me likey 8) i did see them in catcar accessories.

Unfortunately i like having a spare because not having 1 is tempting fate, atleast i make sure i have one if I'm going on a road trip.

Winsford is a bit of a mongrel town most are fake scousers (the ones who talk scouce but never been to Liverpool) and the rest (like me) are mancunian :D E R-innit-lar. N

The right 1 slots into the left 1 in a weird way, I've had mine off because the little plastic blank that fills the hole left by not having a mirror on mine was pushed in :? Bit be careful because it breaks then you need 5 tubes of sealant to refit it :o

Can't remember, there is wires yes, the plastic parts join reach other but they seem to be floating, if you are careful you should be able to split it but i think you'll want to mount the bracket behind it rather than to it because i think a mirror or camera might vibrate and look 3d??

Can you not affix the prat nav bracket to the cb box thinymawag above the mirror, just thinking out loud whilst thinking about Sharon Stone in total recall "you can tie me up" or what every she said. N

Limback was right after all, you should have paid extra for the Ford satellite :P although my dab goes tinny, no tinny tinny no tinny, quite off putting when you notice :? I bet they won't admit there's a problem, especially if they denied all knowledge of my injector being broken.
