General What have you done for her/him recently?

[Most Easterly Pandas]

What i'll have to do. Is that relay by the fuses inside?

No. This is a seperate relay that you'll need to supply for the job.

Shouldn't need to take any wiring into the cabin unless putting in a manual switch.

I always mount the relay for the grilles near the headlight on the offside inner wing in the engine bay

I've got mine mounted ona braket by the suspension turret thing. easiest place for me to fit it securley.

Wow nice wheels. Are they made of metal or are they plastic? I've only ever seen the plastic hub caps...Looking good!

Holy cow Mark!!! That is a beautiful job... How???

Mine looked so rough to start with that after an afternoon with emery and a can of Halfrauds best I thought they looked great but your before pic puts mine to shame!!

@ Lucy: They look like Speedline Uno Turbo Alloys to me

Luke.

P.S. What dia. and offset are they? Mine are 5.5"/42.5mm offset but Andrews are 5"/40mm... Bit geeky I know; just curious...

no, more complicated...5.5"/40mm. Jangcy's were 5"/42.5 offset.
whatever those are that's a great job. Doing the same with a set of steelies at the moment to stick back on the punto to sell it, but strangely I'm not being nearly so meticulous quick rub down and a squirt of dark grey paint I've got left over in the garage, jobs a good 'un. ....well jobs an OK 'un....well they look better than before anyway

They are indeed UT wheels, (5.5"/42.5mm) tho not stamped "Speedline", just "Made In Italy"
I do have a pair of Speedlines; they have different centres (see pics below - no inner circle)

My set of four were refurb'ed at LapTab, B'ham

 

[PandaMark]

Also, new tyres fitted today - 175 60 13s, original Uno size
They're Nexen N2000s (a budget tyre but with some good reviews) I know two people at work with these on their cars (Toyota Starlet track day car &a Suzuki Grand Vitara) so think they should be OK on the Panda...

 

[CLXCraig]

They look good Mark. Jai, the uno mod recently had some done, same design, but 14", they look amazing!! he's got a thread in uno section.

Fiited the grille with lamps. not sure about them though. i think they need moveing up a bit.

Grille didnt fit great either. the two top centre holes lined up ok, trick getting the botls in thogh.

Top ends were no where near. See pic for the solution.

bottom end ones need some encouragment and i had to swap the little plastic screw holder thing.

Lamps fitted ok...is.... there a bit wobbly because when we do them tight the plastic bends and the washers slip. needs some thinking.

Just a bit more wiring to do tomorrow then i should be set! (do they need to be declared for insurance)

 

[purple haze]

Pandamark...wheels look great...i use Nexen on our all our S class mercs...very good tyre...Wear rate good as well as grip...well they handle a V8 so should be ok for a panda!!..

Craig...lights and grille look cool.....funny though..Heike took the old style grille off and put a new style one on and youv'e done the opposite..wot a strange bunch we are!!..I'm thinking of putting a MK 1 grille on purple haze...

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Looks good craig. We've always had the same fitting problems when putting the older grilles with built in spots onto the Selecta's.

As for insurance delairation, your choice, but if in a front smash they'll disapear (the grille on dad's Selecta did ).

Could this turn into another insurance thread???....:devil:

Got them all wired and working. Just need to secure the fixing of the trigger wire in the headlight unit.

I also moved the lights up and out, looks a lot better. I'll update pics tommorw,

More of a check than a worry. It doesnt matter if they dont point down does it... because they only operate with full beam, and its not a BMW they wont blind anyone cause they wont be on with other cars around

Swapped head rests over from Manda to Bianca today so now Bianca sports Green head rests to compliment her green interior and Manda wears a couple of small black numbers. The head rests look like they are now in the correct cars.
