Cleaned…

The spare panel has arrived with family in the UK - Thank you @IPG. I will have it in hand at Easter. Have ordered a Hella (2ZR 980 889-011) reverse strip lamp. It should have plenty of room. Next I need to work out the wiring and plugs. SDV8 AB MY 2020 MINI Cooper S Cabrio Kit: Jaguar XK140 (in progress - the website is link to build) |

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.

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.

Good enough to see my face in it. ![]() ] Yikes! My monitor just cracked!!! ![]() ![]() I have some lights on the way... they will be surface mounted... but they are smoked - so I don't think they will show on a Black truck and down that low... The cradle with the screws pops off, so for Proof of Concept, I am planning on some double sided sticky tape and wiring into the 7pin trailer connector. If the lights look OK, then I will drill the holes in the center panel. I can get a replacement for that relatively cheap off eBay if I ever want to go back.

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

Perhaps Zenman63 will pick up on this, and post some pics, or eve do a “how to”?

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.
