A couple of days off and a bit of nice weather has seen them fitted. Thanks to Pewter for his How-To as there were no instructions :thumbsup: . The only thing I did different was remove the whole of the wheel arch liner to get in with the dremel.
Due to SWMBO not having a thing to wear :roll: to a ball soon the 20's are on hold. I'll just have to fit the heated steering wheel I managed to get in under the radar :D

Got it from a local breaker. Advertised just as an X5 steering wheel, but I could see from the picture it had the switch for the heater. Checked it out and handed over the princely sum of £50 for the wheel, £10 for the slip ring and £3 for a relay. Did a Cheshire cat impression all the way home.

Need to fit my £24 BMW rear cycle carrier at some time too. I do like a bargain.

Gave up smoking using those e-cigs the term used for them is vaping.
