Russ me and max discussed this while we were at uni we thought it would look fab but then realised (as someone else said) that on a sunny day it would cause a LOT of accidents with glare.

I can vouch for this. My bonnet used to blind me a lot when the sun was shining on it, I felt like i needed sun visors on the bottom of my windscreen.

In the low sun it can blind you but some sunglasses will fix that 8-)

For the rest not much going on here... Installed a radio and bought sound proofing for the bonnet and anti stone chipping for the wings, but i'm now waiting for better weather, it's now either too cold or too wet to paint or glue properly.

Oh, also had a photoshoot for a Dutch Citroën Magazine :P

Minor update, the accu needed replacement so I put a new one in.

Also applied some anti stonechipping on the inside of my triangles:

It should be protective and also soundproof a little, tomorrow i'll put it back and see if i can measure something.

Today I replaced the engine mounts, on both mounts the upper section became loose:

Those bottom bolts really were a pain in the ass to undo :evil:

Also discovered that my fan has a crack in it:

Today I tried to fit the Dakar bumpers but are those the only four point it hangs on? It's quite a lot heavier than the normal bumper:

Anyway, I postponed it till tomorrow, gonna get new bolts for sure.

I haven't had adventure bumpers for a long time, but I'm sure the plate bolts onto the chassis with the bolts that hold the rearmost part of the bumper mounting on, so it's actually 6 bolts holding it on.


I think....
