    Mk1's are easier than mk2's due to not needing a puller.

    Not even a half hour job, and it makes such a difference! Looks loads better.

    had a bit of bother gettin the arm off. ended up putting the nut on the end of it again, then got vice-grips. nudged it, she just popped right off. used grommit from the boot. 1st class job

    thx for the guide, next up is meshing the grille
