Gus arrives in his pink car ! ...and he has the nerve to take the p*ss out of me for wearing a pink polo shirt ..
Wife brought us out some coffee and ginger cake, after our small feast we decided to get stuck in.
First thing is to remove front grill and headlights
Very straight forward, just need to remember the bottom screw before trying to remove your headlights
Once the headlights are out we need to break the seal, first remove all the screws from around the edge, (8).
To break the seal you need heat, you can either use the oven, heat gun or hairdryer as we did, we felt it was a lot safer to use a hairdryer (do not own a heat gun).
Once the seal is heated up, start to try and prize the unit apart
Once unit is apart enough, slide your hand in and unclip the orange triangle
And hey presto, you have been DE-TANGOED
Now its a matter of heating the seal back up again to get the mastic nice and sticky, push the unit together, and replace all (8) screws.
To ensure a good seal, run some new mastic around the seal, you are better to use the clear mastic, i dinna have any so used white (will paint black when it dries)
Now its just a matter of putting your lights and grill back on the car.
One very satisfied chappy !
Results
And to finish off, de-tango the back, just replace ur bulbs
Many thanks to Gus, as u can see he was the one that done most of the work ! cheers bud
