I entirely forgot that we left your fog lamp job half done.
Get well soon!
And come over with your fortuner, I hope there's still some work to do :P
We can have a DIY meet with Manas and Varun. Manas needs to change his horns too, and Varun's jetta always seems to have an issue Quote:

Haha, you could say.
Will size it appropriately next time onward. Just put everything on my mind down . Quote:
Let's fix Manas' City over this weekend now :P

Done. Quote:

I had seen your post during my initial research for the horn placement and replacement. Initial plan was to mount it like you did. I was short on time.
When I finally get a hold of the connector, I will open it up again and do it just like you. Quote:
P.S. You do have maintained your car in its pristine state. Any tips and suggestions on that?

Why, thank you
It's my grandfather's last car before he passed away. Hence the sentimental value. I don't let anyone touch the car except for myself. No daily cleaning either. Only nice washes twice a month or before a trip. Helps keeps the paint swirl free. Also it has a nice parking away from the elements.
Thanks to the bad roads and monsoons, I tend to use the safari more often. I like splashing water everywhere. Hence the safari preference in the rain haha
City is now mostly just doing airport or highway runs to the farm. So not a lot of wear and tear. It is a very temperamental car though. I got myself a can of tafetta white com paint for the rust spots. Might make another thread about that touch up job.
But trust me, if you think my car is clean, you should see friend and BHPian Sai_sailendra's vento. Showcars would be envious. Quote:

And by the way, do we have to remove the bumper to fix the horn in facelifted City too ?

According the information I have on hand, yes. But it should not be a problem if we do it slowly and patiently. But I have also read that the facelift has few differences. Waiting for the weekend : ) |
