Check out some on the lovely E51 threads, think they can stand large strips as lot of metalwork but depends on what look you want. The bottom ones look better with side skirts .
Full stripe:
Lower stripe:
And while I was looking I just had to see these wheels again

Be careful with 100w bulbs. They draw an extra 3.5 amps so may test the wiring to its limit. You may find the resistance of the wiring will prevent the bulbs from achieving full brightness, which could also cause them to blow quicker.Quick once over the headlights with Armorall headlight wipes. So easy it felt like cheating for £8.
Main beam upgrade from 60w to 100w. (can’t really tell the difference)
Sew on steering wheel cover is this afternoons lockdown treat!

Bid on an MNE51 in Japan this morning and was the high bidder. Seller wanted way over market value, so went unsold.
Betty is missing cruise, where do you get it from, is it an aftermarket kit or taken from another Elgrand? Is it a simple fit?

Got mine from canm8. Cost about£260. They can fit if needed. Fitting is fairly easy except some of the Elgrand wires are thin/ delicate. Cheated by using a male obd connection instead of trying to wire into them. Had to trim the tray that covers the obd connection to close correctly.

Hi) Eliminated the engine oil leak. Oil dripped from under the filter .. Replaced by MAN. Replaced the fuel filter, because at -40 diesel fuel froze. Found the cause of poor engine thrust. It turns out that when I was washing the car in the garage (-15), the air filter got wet and froze. As a result, the engine could not breathe and the EL did not move. Replaced the air filter. Then ... Rust ate the tube from the bottom, which supplies antifreeze to the 2nd stove. As a result, I lost a lot of antifreeze, but got to the garage. I inserted a metal tube. I poured antifreeze, drove air out of the entire cooling system, at -30 it became warm in the car)

Today, I have mostly been getting new to our new arrival. What's where, what does what, how to ... blah blah blah. I have to say, thus far we think we've made the right choice ... fingers crossed.
