Mirrors didn't work out, I had to swap them back.
Fixings were terrible, I'll probably have to get someone to redo them.

Carbon wing mirror caps didn't work out so they've been removed. I'm also thinking it's just too mild a winter but then I remember the stupid amount of rain this time last year and thought best wack them on.

In regards to parking, legally it is a private access lane behind my office but the council snuck in one day and double yellow lined it. The parking inspectors went mental handing out tickets for a whole year. Anyone caught standing in the deadend lane was pinged, including our delivery van. We cited that the lane was private and the lack of any signage for parking restrictions made any ticket void. We ended up with over 250 PCNs and we issued the same form letter. The council finally took a number of tickets to court where we were found wrongfully ticketed. The council repeated this little dance a couple more times until the magistrate made a note of harassment. The parking inspectors haven't been back down that lane for 3 years now. Yellow lines remain though and it's directly behind a major police station where they secure their cars. I was there for maybe 4hrs changing wheels, number plate recess and mirrors. I must've looked like I was stripping the car, at least 25 cop cars came and went, in clear view, not one question.

Yeah, you know, the thing that lets the gases out the back of the station wagon. Do I have to explain everything??

The Miltek on the avant comes off the avant on Monday and the custom 'sort' will be swapped over. An OEM zoorst might end up on the 'loon, thus leaving a spare Miltek - is that what you meant?
I feel like a fucken mind reader here, Chunk. It's a good thing your missus and I have such an intimate relationship so she translates your posts for me.
