Just set steering wheel controls from a thread on the forum.
Brilliant, it's worth the membership fee just for that information.
Big thanks to original poster.
 
So... the bumper came back completely hashed. Clear coat runs in 3 areas, mottling on the base coat and patches left without any clear coat at all. I went ballistic 😡, had it out with the owner in front of the customers, this was their so called professional painting at £150.00. I could've done a much better job using rattle cans. Being paint mixers they weren't able to tell me that there are 3 shades in Nissan Blade Silver KY0 and they chose the brightest out of the three which meant a colour mismatch too, all this after I left my fuel flap with them to check as well. 🤦‍♂️

Anyway, it's going back on Tuesday but this time I've agreed with the manager that I'm going to work beside the painter as I know a little about paint spraying and I want to make sure the jobs done right this time. I highlighted four areas where they went wrong which led them to ask me what my profession was? (not a professional painter by miles - just an age old passion and a hobby).

I was going to hit social media to expose their service but I've held back for now as they've promised to rectify their mistake - no charge.

Put my old 20" rims back on which were originally on my previous lowered HWS, I replaced them with 19" as the ride was just too harsh. With the stock suspension on this Rider it's so much better. There's no way I'm dropping this, in fact, I'm thinking of putting on a slightly higher profile tyre next time as I prefer cruising in comfort as the roads in London are getting as bad as they are in Pakistan :D

I just wished they did the 3SDM 0.06 in 20", such a good looking rim and so easy to clean 👌

Once I get the 20" refurbished the 19" 3SDM on the right will be up for sale.

Fitted 100w fogs and main beams. Led sidelights and the repaired front bumper. I feel whole again! Carps camera but you get the idea!

Yes, I live in Cornwall and they light the lanes up perfectly. Not the cheapest but didn't want to have loads of trouble. Worked first time direct fit.

😌Now that...is a very nice balance, I must say! I remember looking at rims like those; they look well with your grill and chrome accents. 👍🏼

Thanks Tony 👍
Aesthetically it sits around 20mm higher than I would like, but from previous experience I'm keeping the ride comfort the stock suspension provides. Plus once I've loaded up my Adams' family in there it drops 20mm anyway :laughing:

My tiny brain is struggling to work out if you have genuinely done this or you just threw some fluffy stuff down and took a pic? 🤔
