Alloy Arial

I Paid Â£50 for the alloy arial 2 months ago and it looked really good. I have taken it back this morning as its all corroded and bubbled underneath, looks a mess! They are getting another for me, anyone else got one and if so has it done the same?

Also fitted the Chrome hoops at the weekend, was far easier then expected and looks very nice. Just waiting for the Lexus lights now.

Yes got the hoops from France, realy quick....maybe cos I work for a french company? There were SOOOOOOO easy to fit honest. Took a week to deliver and 10 mins to fit!

Gives it that a look of something different from all the others around here.

Andy, can you remind Forum members (me included) how you fit them so quick as it'll save us on labour costs, perhaps a step by step guide if its not too time consuming?

Many thanks,

Robbie.

Yes no problem. The set I got didnt have fitting instructions with them but didnt need them anyway.

Firstly undo both nuts at the front of the rear seats (Where your ankles are if sitting in the back) Just unhook the bracket on the seat from the bolt sticking out.

Then just hold each side of one of the rear seats near the top and pull up and forward. The seats just hook on the frame so your just unhooking them. Do the same with the other one.

You can then clearly see where the originals are bolted to the frame. Just unbolt the old ones and lift off then put the new ones on and tighten the bolts. Hook back on the rear seats, re-fit the bolts on the bottom of the seats and yourve finished!

It realy only took 10 mins from start to finish so dont let fitting them put you off.

I tried emailing the French guy but got no response,I really want a set. Are you sure Ecosse can supply them?

Check out :

http://www.206cc-ig.de/usefull/bastelecke/buegel.html

and

http://www.pugsport-gti.co.uk/hoops.htm

Both show details of how to get the hoops fitted. When I got mine from Camotos they didn't come with instructions - but as pointed out earlier, they are not hard to fit (although they took me about 40 minutes to do)

I am not sure what Ecosse charge, but I am sure they'll be cheaper from Camotos, persistance enevtualy paid off for me.
