It’s a 50/50 chance you’ll get them in the correct way. As mine arrived yesterday and I will be fitting them next week are you saying it is all or nothing or something more subtle?

Mattman42 Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Adjusted the roof elastic by using the screw method mentioned previously - but of a pain getting the torx driver in there but worked a treat. then a very quick wash before the sun got too hot - gtechniq quik detailer works wonders to get rid of the dry water marks. So much dust because of the building works! 🙄 Edited May 31, 2020 by Mattman42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saunders82 Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 I desnorked my 987 which took about 15 minutes then when for a much longer drive! I can't honestly say if it's made any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinewood Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 fixed the loose elastic drivers side and checked all 8 drain holes. They were all clear, but nice to confirm it with the trumpet cleaner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that is evident, is that the silver refurbed lobster claws look terrible with it, so I'm black plastidip them along with the wing mirrors.

red rocket Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Taxed it and went for an Italian tune-up, sorry gentle drive, down to and along the coast. Was supposed to meet up with a former Porsche owner and peruse his recently acquired McLaren but sadly he couldn't move it due to a faulty warning light!

What a massive improvement with a very bright, white light and good spread. I must have passed 30 cars coming in the opposite direction and no one flashed me so I don’t think they’re dazzling. They were very easy to install, simply plug in in place of the originals. The terminal is marked + and - and the - connects to the brown wired side of the original connector. The hardest part was getting the headlights back in but just takes a bit of jiggling around. No canbus errors, no flickering. They come with a 3 year guarantee so hopefully will last for a while. Pound for pound I’d say it’s the best mod I’ve done on the car as with the original headlamps I never felt confident driving in the dark. Just ordered them seems a low cost easy upgrade Edited June 2, 2020 by kevin450 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verner Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Console painted Lapis Blue and ready for install. Installed and awaiting finishing pieces... So far so good, I think 🙂 Verrner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonttt Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Worth noting that the OEM painted / carbon centre consoles have clear protective sheets at the sides where the seats rub.....they will rub the paint off so worth getting some clear film.....I'll see if I can get a pic 😉 Edit: here you go....
