yet another day on the car!!
again, managed to work on lots of little things such as drilling drain holes in the rear bumper to stop water collecting...
Lots of other bits and bobs done and some took a good few hours, like messing with the frunk surround to get the water bottle filler to fit, this is a mark up/take off/cut/refit type of job so can take a while to get it to fit nicely, but its worth it.
Pic 1, For the washer bottle to fit better, remove this now useless bracket
Pic 2, I then cut the neck as the washer bottle needs to be in a different position, I will buy some flexi pipe and jubilee clips to fasten them back together later
Pic 3, I decided I really needed the front bumper off to fit the washer bottle, but couldnt be bothered to take it off today, so I will fit the washer bottle another day. instead I marked the frunk cover where I need to remove some of the plastic so that the filler cap will fit.
Pic 4, I then removed this piece, refitted, marked again, removed, cut the piece out, refitted etc about 3 times until it fit nicely (thought I had a pic of it finished.....but I havent!)
Pic 5, as my car originally didnt have the alarm system fitted, I also had to cut out the slot in the frunk cover for the plunger. This again was trial and error, and also made it imposible to get the cover on with the plunger fitted, so I moved the bolt and drilled another hole in the plunger bracket to get it to nearly the right height for the bonnet. I fitted it and then connected 2 wires to it to test if the bonnet pressed it down, closed the bonnet and it worked a treat, you just have to remove the plunger and bracket if you are removing the frunk cover...which wont be often!
Pic 6, after the doors are fitted, you end up with a gap here, so I mixed up some P40 and filled in the gap, the body shop will do the final filling of this during prep...
Pic 7, here is the gap filled, I did this on both sides...
Pic 8, last job of the day I fitted the wiper based washers and trial fitted the washer pipes, hooked up the washer bottle and gave it a quick test, all working nicely!
