Cover replaced. Now, that looks much better.

Something tells me that the guy in the wash bay at that dealership is part owner of an F-type engine cover with gold lettering ;-0

On other news, these arrived.




Doing the install of the door logo lights in a few.

And with the wheel guides, I will remove the each wheel to orient the center cap properly . And also to check fitment of the spare set of wheels that I have. Need to see if I need spacer for those as well...

But first, need to tackle a few items from the honey-to-do list...

Are the new door lights an easy process and about how much time spent per door? Also, is disconnecting the battery required to accomplish the task?

Very easy process, just flip out the old ones, unplug them, plug in the new ones and reinstall (they clip in).
No need to disconnect the battery.
Just take note of which way round they go (orientation) as they won't clip in properly if wrong way around.
The hardest part is getting down on the ground to do it, well at least for a feeble old fart like me!
I have fitted two or three sets over the years now, the last set the same as those pictured about two years ago and they are still going strong with zero fading or degradation.
