Took the Golden Girl to the plastic surgeon today. Mirrors and some minor touch ups for next month and a less minor bumper respray as some ass decided to scuff right across the n/s/f . Also a few more bits as jobs for the winter, when both he and I are not so busy...

Took her for a jaunt to civilisation. Tad disappointed on the mpg. She's only managing 24.7mpg at best with mainly dual carriageway. Last jaunt, on same run, she was giving approx 29mpg.

Nope

Nope :D

Messed this one up, cos I can 😁

I knew you would appreciate 😁🤣

Just for my own nosiness. How do you manage to mistake sunroof button for driver's window button? Or do you mean you opened the sunroof, rather than a window, by choice? Then realised you had made a mistake because the rain started and it's not sunroof open time yet?

Thanks but I have decided to stay original. If you had shared which unit I might have been able to point you in the direction of the wiring that is required with some units to make life easier. However you seem to have sorted it somehow 👍

Took her for a little drive. Then kept her well out the way whilst manure was being dropped off for the tatties. After which I renewed the high tech solution for water ingress in rear quarter glass. :)

Great, thanks :)

Any idea which paint you used?

Ok my 'andsom boy where is your write up @Henry_b

Yep that's where I've been searching but they're like hen's teeth. I think I struck it lucky when I found that other one.

A new electrochromic is £180 upwards. The usual culprits have them at over £300. I need to change one of mine as the glass has gone brownish. Doesn't affect ability to see but I think it's the autodim that's failed/failing. I got new old stock for the other one several years ago at £80ish off...

What I would like is to do the triangle too. Which again is a bigger job if trying to vinyl wrap. whereas finding a product that can be painted on would just mean a very neat cover job around it.

If it can break it will break when I handle things and at £180 or so for the glass I really don't want to risk it. I overcompensate with force because the 'good' arm isn't so great and I can't judge what pressure I'm using.

As per everything on the L322, it's not that simple. Made less simple by only having one arm that functions almost properly.

That would involve taking the glass out to get a smooth finish. Otherwise there will be an edge just inside the lip. also I'm a bit impatient, and OCD. Trying to get all the bubble out would just drive me nuts:vb-kaioken:

Just a nice black finish , similar to the current but whole mirror will need done as it's all fading now . Problem is ,it's not easy to match as it's not matte, satin or gloss. Otherwise I would try to match
