Thanks. It's the G30 paint. Purple, Green, Black
The photo is actually a composite of 3, one correctly exposed, one is -1 stop and the other +1 stop, this gives a great affect and really shows the paint off in the right light
Not so much in... as under... rear de-cat & Underseal today... on a fresh import, sold even before advertised

Went to the tip with half and old BBQ, assorted trash which I'd loaded last night.
The rear was now home to a green Caterpillar and a couple of enormous spider webs.
I hate spiders in cars as they hide and you can never find the little blighters for weeks.

I love this style of lights, i see them on riders but not often on highway stars..... Is this a upgrade, variation or aftermarket mod?
The highway star im looking to buy has all red rear light bar and lights and wonder how hard they would be to change to your style on a e51 s2
It’s not unusual for HWS to be fitted with Rider rear lights and front top grille in Japan, probably a dealer fit option. Rare to find the parts in the uk though...
I have a lovely series 2 HWS in G30, just arrived...Hopefully getting a Elgrand with this colohr soon

Any idea on cost of parts in Uk if they can be sourced?

Ever considered hiring your lift out by the hour?
I keep it pretty busy to be fair... and with all the heath and safety issues... too much of a faff unfortunately

I've sat in my Elgrand all morning, playing with all the features, making sure everything works. It's absolutely amazing!! How do we not have any decent euro cars/vans that offer similar versatility? I'm like a kid in a candy store haha
Installed Xtrons 17.3"
Happy with the install, not fully completed, as I love to upgrade the Radio + TV.
So, need a reason why I should not update the Radio. Sound is via FM and/or dual wireless headsets - this will keep the kids quiet.
Thinking how to run the audio cables. And if I change the Radio will I loose the +12V ?
Got more photos, can post if required. But, basically, removing old screen was easy - just pull the frame. Unscrew. done!

Today I failed. First I went out for a spin to try the new rear ARB for the first time. Very pleased with the result. Made more difference than the new shocks.
Buoyant with the feeling of success I set about dismantling the front end. Removed the wiper scuttle then up on the jacks, wheel off, unclipped the brake pipe and ABS sensor wire, undid the two lower strut mounting bolts, just the drop link to remove. Why oh why did I leave the drop link nut until last? Should have known from experience that they are usually complete bastards to remove.
So, you guessed it, wouldn't budge. Even using a flat drive socket it rounded off. Bollocks. So now it seems my only option is to buy new drop links and cut the the old ones off with a grinder. I'll now have to reassemble it all so it's driveable while I obtain the new drop links, by which time the rain will have set in. GGggrrrr.
