What have you done to your Elgrand today?

I did a HUGE mod on the Ellie, I should really do a full write-up guide to talk you all through it I know but...

We still had those horrible 'fronds' for want of a better word, on our deflectors, some had broken and they just looked horrible.
I cut the crap off then bought some cheap plastic door guard strip, works well and gives it a neat finish.

of course :)

Lights were $30 from here: Link to aliexpress.com (my S2 HWS has the same fog lights as a 2011 Nissan Note)
DRL controller was £8 from here: Link to ebay

The only issue I had was the polarity of the fog light wiring. The DRL halo bit worked straight out of the box, but I had to reverse the polarity of the fog light to get it to function with the standard Elgrand wiring. Not sure if the aftermarket units were incorrectly made, or if the polarity of the wiring is different on a Nissan Note (seems unlikely)? Either way, fairly easy to sort out and works fine now.
 
Hooked up to the mains to keep leisure batt topped up, lounged in the back seat with a bottle of malbec listening to "Seconds Out" by Genesis, I could tell by that van sway that Ed was having a great time feeling the air drums, does the old Elgand good to let go!!! ...Then of course Zero Alpha asked " what the bloody hell are you doing"....

Knowing there are so many bumper types on the E51, the way I approached it was to take out the old fog light to find the part number. In my case its a Valeo 89210094. Then I googled that part number to find other (more common) cars it was used on. In my case I found the same lamp is used on the Nissan Note and the Ford Focus. Convenient for me, but I don't know if the Rider lamp is a common unit too.

There were a set of angel eyes on there for sale but alas no longer, so must have been sold. You could look at the epc for part no. on any model bar the Rider as it has Autech bumpers.
