Default coffee can headlight access

It seems Germany gets headlight access as standard the rest of us need to improvise, this is my effort.

That is an awesome fix, who wants a coffee???.

Why Jag did that is simply the question of all time.

100% brilliant. This might just encourage me to fit my one piece headlights! Bulbs could be changed without removing the headlight and having the pain of re-fixing it with those rubbbishy clips.

Does the make of coffee affect the fix ! ??

HELL YES.

Top shelf coffee cans are a must, for fear of MORE rust.

That has so many applications!

Wish they had put one above the fuel tank.

BTW, some areas of the world have gone really cheap and those cans
come with the metal ring and lid, but cardboard sides. Just rip or burn
the cardboard right off.

So first you have your coffee fix, then comes the coffee tin fix.

Oh! Let's not forget small and large paint cans for variations in size.
One that originally held Rustoleum would be perfect in the anti-rust
department.

Sorry, the thanks button is still not workiing on my browser.(just tried)
But the OP deserves at least ten

Jaguar did see the light (!) as facelift cars do have those access panels in the stoneshields.
