Took one day to do the front and did the rear conversation over 2 nights after work.

Just wanted to thank you for this write up. The parts list complete with part numbers was a massive help, same goes for the bumper-wing mounting bracket guide tips.

The facelift is straight forward but having this guide gave me enough info to get all parts together beforehand, along with the confidence to go flat out and complete the job in one go.

I also think you have the job steps and method spot on. At first I decided I would try to use the entire PDC/fog loom and splice it into the wiring loom complete, then I realised the original loom is actually in two parts (left wing and right wing) so cutting the new plugs off and soldering was the easiest and fastest (as you know). Maybe the plugs can be bought individually for a few £? Other than that I can't think of anything I'd try to improve on.

The job went very smoothly, I started at 6pm and finished at 4am, I'm lucky to have a workshop and 2 post ramp. I'm also confident I could do this conversion again in half the time now I know how everything falls into place.

Finally I'd encourage anyone who's half decent with DIY work to give this one a go Smile
