Default Fitted Electric Sunblind

So out of the blue the door bell goes and my sunblind arrives (got a good deal I think £40 for the blind, smokestone shelf and switch). I toyed about with buying one of these as I have tints but at this price I thought it would be another gadget to play with and impress

Anyway lovely sunny day so gave the shelf a clean and thought in for a penny in for a pound let's get it fitted and surprise surprise all done in under an hour. I found it all quite easy and the wiring was there so just plug n play. The only drawback was the blind was snagging on the interior quarter panels I need replacements really the clips holding them on are bent and snapped so they not sitting as flush as they should.


So yet another mod done and here's the pic:

nice pic in your signature mate. Which wheels are they if you don't mind sharing? As they are not mentioned in your list?

Much appreciated,
Marc
