What sort of a pop-up roof is that? Haven't seen one like it before.....

It's a Reimo Pilzdach (Mushroom roof) or Hubdach.
It's about 1.2 x 1.2m, they go out at about 1100€ - I paid 200€.

Well chuffed I is, Weed will do resprays starting from 2000 ukp.
Thanks to Kev the Rev for the white ideas.

I like that white stripe, it breaks the darker colour nicely and goes well with the wheels

Rob, to answer your question - It looks brilliant with smoked lenses at the front.

I picked the lenses up for 24€, they have a stand/running light in them as well (I've no idea how to wire them up though).

I can't find smoked lenses for the rears (wrong type of lens).

Re wiring lights, its easy peasy just extend the extra wire up to the headlights and connect to the side light supply wire :ok
