Today I had time (and the ground wasn’t wet) - to remove the cover.

@both:

I’m following you guys on this, very interested.
Zenman63, what did you bond it with, UPVC solvent? i.e. a plastic-weld type solvent, or what?
(ABS plastics can be tricky to bond, and there’s a lot of water & UV light to consider on a bumper).

Pics & a write-up would be vastly appreciated by “The Brethren” , you might even make the Godly annals of the Wiki Hall of Fame  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

I know, I know...

I just ordered a new snow foam cannon. So I hope to try it out soon. I will post a picture after so you can check my work. SDV8 AB MY 2020

Only kidding, of course my friend 😉😁

Cool, slightly OT I know sorry, but I recently got a new Nilfisk Pro 200 machine with Sno Foam gun, and I love it. The driveway leading to Gremlin Castle is also lookng brand new! 😎  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

@Luxmoggy:

Ah! Much better!

I'll let you off with a Caution!

Nice colour, by the way! “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Yes, fabulous colour. Not seen that. That’s the sort of thing that might convince me to make the jump…. 🤣

The colour is what tipped the scale into my buying my first RR.
But it needs to be cleaned again. The farm tracks leading to football pitches in the villages.

After looking and thinking about it. I am going to see if I can find the loom plugs so I can create 2 tap-in looms. That means I won’t cut any of the wiring on the car. And it will be easy to remove.

If other people want to also do this. They can easily make their own loom. This is true if they do or don’t have a tow bar. As the plugs are fitted on all cars (I think).

Does anyone which plugs are used? They look a bit like weather pack connectors. SDV8 AB MY 2020

@Luxmoggy, @JDGeorgia:

I’m bumping this thread as well, what happened to you efforts, any luck, please?  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

I started a new job and haven't had time to spend on this.

I have the parts (the panel and the light). However, I couldn't find the right type of plug to make a breakout patch for the tow bar; I am worried about splicing the wires. A new harness is €160 if I mistake.

Any ideas about who makes those plugs? SDV8 AB MY 2020

Perhaps Zenman63 will pick up on this, and post some pics, or eve do a “how to”?
@ Luxmoggy, do you have pictures of the loom plugs? Presumably this is normally for towbar/trailer electrical connections?

I prefer the idea of flush fit rather than surface mount, would this set-up pass an MOT? “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

I plan to cut out the panel so the light will be flush. Depending on the connector, I can always disconnect it and replace the panel. It will then be back to normal.

Studying the documents in the UK and DE, I don't think it will be an issue. The light has the EU/ISO stamp on it. There is nothing about the number just that it must switch on and off at the right times. SDV8 AB MY 2020
