    The VX220 one works but reads in reverse. Had about £30 in the tank and it said refill. So after burning some fuel it would read 24l or 17l etc. so i had no idea! I guess i could have put a resistor in the circuit? Or found a way of getting the signal....but i fail massively at electrics! So this will have to do.

    Aye, come on over and get some pics. Be good to put a name to the face!

    I'd have changed the sticker on it to read the over way...

    And yeah yeah, see you there.

    Got round to fitting the side skirts yesterday. Well, one side

    Didnt have them as standard, so no studs for the white clips. Just tiger seal them on i thought. Not enough surface for the sealant to adhere to. Had to figure out a way to fit the clips in the right place!

    Cue me doing my usual measure 20 thousand times, various methods to check etc etc

    Once i was happy i could drill holes in my nice fresh paint work!!

    I will post a thread in the articles section with all my measurements. Hopefully it will make it easier for some of you.

    Pics.... (off my phone. Didnt anticipate getting this far so didnt have my camera with me!)



    Various scribble marks...



    Measured and repeated along the sill...



    First one on..



    Done!



    And fitted! G clamp is to hold the upper part of the fin. Had to tiger seal this part. @ my colour coded plate!!!

    D'oh I was hoping the clips would be possible to tigerseal on - just not enough of it touching the bodywork to stick on well then? Nice work, measurements will be a useful addition to the Articles section
