Under bonnet details
« on: January 28, 2014, 08:29:53 »
Hi Guys
Can you help me. A while ago i found an article on the web that showed for example the number of spot welds along the front wing to inner wing join, and how badly the factory welded on some of the brackets on the inner wings. But most importantly i need to see the detail around the headlight bezel. I remember something about how the wing has a small detail that matches the bezel.

Ta Ian

I think you will find what you are looking for when you browse motoring investments site ... you will need to dig a little ... but worth it.

Do these help? Not a close up of the alignment notches but pics of those should be on the MI site.
