Cyrus, As Dazco I've just re-read your thread mate and all I can say is well done you. You're doing a great job and both you and the 'missus' will reap the rewards in good holidays in the future. Well done again. Rob :ok

What is this twin headlight grill with round headlights - is an owner mod or original eqpt?? Cos I like it and I want one!

I'm not sure, I have seen a couple around like it. The camper conversion was by EMC (so I'm told) and they made their own mounds so the grill could be one of theirs, I have looked for I'd marks but there is none.
The headlamp grills were made by Taifun and mine has them fitted too.

I also bought some veltrim from eBay, they said order before 12pm and delivered next day. I ordered it on weds and its now Sunday and not received it. I wish I had purchased from toeragmats now as I've heard good feedback.

OK a bit of an update.
I managed to buy some Saab seat so I'll have to fit them soon and sold the old front seats for a quid more.
I've also purchased some white dials from fleabay

Only took me about 45 mins and have bought some orange nail varnish for the needles.
Purchased from dials4u2010 on fleabay and very impressed with them. Only had to score out the mileometer but very easy to install and made from sticky vinyl so should last.
