Mine took four weeks to arrive and 3 minutes to fit. Perfect fit. The only problem I had was getting back up off the floor!

Thats made me smile as I was looking at these but no I think I'll keep away from that ...

I can relate to getting back up from the floor...LOL.... My wife and I just downsized homes prepping for retirement. I moved from a home with a 6 car garage with a lift, to a 2.5 car garage with a couple of floor jacks and jackstands....hurts!

I just spent the day waxing the Flying Spur. I can’t kneel down anymore to wax the sides. So I just sit on the floor and lay on the floor to do the rocker panels. I’m still waiting for my lights to come. It does help being retired and having an air conditioned garage. I can relate to having a hard time getting back up. I need to have both knees replaced but I keep putting it off.

Ive come to the conclusion that most of us are just old the bone are not as they used to be but our brain is as active as we were in our twenties, we all love cars & everything to do with them just carry on the best we can ...

Thanks buddy......
Honestly, I didn’t measure either, other than by eye. It may be a millimeter off but I sure can’t tell, nor can anyone else. I just put it where I thought it looked best. Sorry I cannot be of more help...

Woke up this morning to find some low life has taken the O/S door indicator lens off, it hasn't fallen off as I can see marks where a tool has been used to remove it, what is wrong with these people cant they leave other peoples cars alone, I parked it in the city for a couple of hours yesterday while having lunch but didn't notice anything until this morning ... these are not easy to find as a used part, may have to buy 2 new ones as one new & the other old will look odd, Flying Spares have them in stock at £135 a side, they an hour away from me ...

Wow, sorry to hear that Rico. I'm not putting my finger on what you are describing. What did they remove?

Thanks
