What did you cover the chrome upper strip with? Looks top notch

Hi and well done But did you not look at Combe Valley campers Video on U tube before starting your Cable run it's always worth having a swat up before starting projects... they give plenty of tips and short cuts might save you some time searching the route.

Hi Mud,

Thanks for the tip! I was following a tutorial video but not from Combe Valley.

All the best!

Fitted armrests and very pleased

Fitted reversing sensors - easy enough

Fitted a vanstyle bonnet deflector today, top tip;- don't follow the fitting instructions, best method is fit the bonnet clips to the bonnet first, then screw the deflector to the bonnet clips, save yourself a lot of pain and sore thumbs

Did the rear section of carpeting, joints hidden very well
Decided to try these anodised washers for the panels

@twotone2. Looks good - Do you know if it would be easily removable if you wanted to take it off to wash and polish? I ask as I've never really liked the idea of those that stick on permanently with double sided tape.

yes, should be quite easy to remove the 7 screws and then lift off the deflector

Ok, so these are quite popular - but what actual function do they serve beyond style? Genuine question - not being sarcastic

They protect the edge of the bonnet from stone chips. They also deflect the airflow up from the windscreen so that bugs will go over the roof, rather than splatting on the glass.

Thanks, is the difference really apparent? Are there far fewer bugs? Does it affect rainfall as you drive along?

 

[dubber36]

I don't think it affects rainfall. That's to do with how full the clouds are.

Oh, really.
Does it change how much rain hits the windscreen when it’s falling from the clouds in the sky? What about on those days when it’s damp enough to make the screen dirty but not enough to keep the wipers on? Thanks.

Buggered if I know, I've never had one.
