I finally got round to fitting my heater bow and pipes. But when I went to connect the pipes I couldn't connect them because something was missing. But because I did it with the dash on I couldn't see. So went scrapyard and found these. Which is obviously what was missing.

I also bought this sound proofing because mine hasn't got it.

Then because all the old tape was coming off the wires I took it all off and put new tape over them.

I'm just waiting for the speaker joystick to get delivered. But I can't find any wires for it. So has anyone got a link to a wiring diagram for it? As I can't find anything on the internet.

Thankyou. I actually can't believe the amount of people who know I have it say they always wanted one. It surprises me.

I've read in a few places that these are the original spot lights for a Xr2. Might be wrong though.
