Hi,

I still could not detect where those two are missing. Maybe I‘ll find that out later, at 180km/h…. :wow:

Then, I have 2 different rear bonnet small grilles - one with tabs to hold screws, which is slightly less shiny then the other one which does not have those tabs / which one to use ?

Meanwhile, I assembled the nose and both doors. And some missing bits I already know have to order:

- plastic rivets for trim piece behind door,
- small screw for long thick door trim piece
- 2 bolts for front upper wishbone (sitting on the long thick upper bolt
- green insert stripe for instrument panel
- at least one wiper arm / its broken inside, must inspect closer upfront

Then, I also fitted the 3 trim pieces plus thin nuts over the windscreen wiper spindles, and that was not nice. I seem to have made small gaskets like 10 yrs ago ? I found a handmade set in the box so I used that, but the the nuts to grip the shaft, not easy.

I also found I have a set of side roof trim (1 cm wide, 1.50 mtrs long) as a spare which I might not need afterwards.

Next job will be horrible, re- fitting the Britax roof.

Hi Carsten,
Certainly the one with the two holes. have a look on the bonnet to sea if you have two holes for the nuts.

Hi Mitch,

Yes there are holes. I thought there should be self- tapping screws ? Not bolts plus nuts ?

Kind regards,

Carsten
