Lucky you can!!
Changed the engine oil in the D4 and a new oil filter, Also started installing a GME UHF radio, need to be a midget to get into the underside of the steering wheel, and yes after reading other posts, to be careful there is a clip missing. Had a magnet on a stick, a mirror and a torch, no sign of it thinking it may have been missing when I bought it.

Just a tip Tombie, if you are painting the bonnet to stop reflection from the roof lights, it should be a full Gloss Black not matt or Satin finish.
Both matt and satin finishes will reflect part of the light stream back in all directions.
Whereas, full gloss surfaces act like a mirror and if the light comes from the back ( roof ) at an angle, it will simply bounces off the bonnet and continue forward at the same angle.
Bonnet is already Decal done - my roof bar doesn’t cause me any grief or reflection by it’s design and location - the decals are more reflection from sunlight and to make it look a little different.
The new black touches are:
Door handles
Mirror tops
Late model tail lights
Badging
Grill and vents
Just part of the ongoing evolution [emoji41]
I’m also adding a 2nd UHF, power coating the bar work again, upgrading my aux wiring install and adding a few additional components like additional USB charge points etc
And need to make a start on my Double Din install whilst I’m messing around.
