its piss easy to change the rear clusters.... just 2 bolts and take the connections off the back and reverse to fit new ones.... BIG THING THOUGH.... you need an extra fog lamp due to the clears not having one.

Pull on the knob (no stop typing sarcastic comments now) and hope it comes off otherwise that to it with a stanley knife... pressuming you don't plan to keep it

the gearknob is bonded on yeah ive just cut them off in the past

the system of 3 crappy grub screws is the shittest ever though i mean after a while they just spin round it totally detracts from driving the car so put put plenty of araldite on to make it permanenet, do it last thing so it has overnight to set

dont worry about sticking it as the original is mean to be a permanent bonded solution and you can remove the shaft by itself anyway

rear clusters are 3 bolts yeah 2 at top 1 at bottom the 2 at the top are on their own the one at the bottom has a small plate which pulls them in to the car bodywork just hold the plate level as youre tightening it and then you can let go when it bites and do it up.

dont go too overboard when youre tightening them up you can always nip them up later if needs be but ragging the threads isnt a hot move

I have a 206 rear fog light, so if you've got a fog light then none e-marked clear rears are ok?

I haven't put it anywhere as yet, i marked out an area to cut out in the centre on my rear bumper but i'm thinking of putting one each side, sort of simlar positions to astra MK2's maybe a bit closer to the corners of my bumper
