So the tow bar, mud flaps and chequer plate turned up today along with my mud uk side panels. Fitted mud flaps and tow bar, placed the chequer plate onto the sills and hit a snag, I'm not sure it looks right! Don't know what it is but thin king with my kbx grilles on it won't look right with the plate on so going to hold off fitting it until the grilles arrive.
Unable to fit my mud uk side panels until my sound deadening turns up.
Spent half hour on the phone to TNT today too trying to find a parcel that TMD sent out and has seemingly gone missing, Must say I'm shocked at TMD's attitude towards the fact that even TNT don't know where the parcel is, almost as if they can't be ar53d

Nothing major but an update none the less. Had a delivery from urban truck the other day containing my twin drl bumper. Got it fitted up and then came the wiring head ache. First off as its a twin drl edition you have two wiring controllers to hide and a big nest of wiring that needed to be shortened in places and lengthened in others. Got the wiring all tidied and hidden and got it all wired up, then ran into a problem: the drl's wouldn't dip when side lights were switched on! I've fitted numerous drl bumpers to customers cars so I was adamant I hadn't made a mistake but went over everything in the little 4 page wiring booklet that comes with the bumper. After triple checking everything I still couldn't work it out so called simon, after him sending me the original wiring diagrams that the booklets were based on I discovered the wire colours were printed wrong in the booklet! A quick call to simon just to let him know of the mistake and after switching some wires around it was all working as it should.
The urban truck drl bumpers have a follow you home feature which enables the lights to stay on for up to 2 minutes after engine switched off (when wired direct to battery) I'm not sure I like this and may yet wire he, to a switch in the car somewhere.
Other than the wiring hick up the bumper is very good quality and the lights are fantastic, credit to simon he was very apologetic when he realised the mistake with the diagram!

Not the clearest pictures as they're from an iPhone but you get the idea

List just gets bigger and bigger though

Not sure what to go for next, might look to upgrade the speakers and then maybe some black wheels!

I'm going to do speakers next. Going to pop down to uplands and get some advise first.
Black 18" would look the dogs on yours.
