Panda Panda 100HP project (cooperman style!)

[cooperman]

Yeh reto fit of the blade is defo a option Jon , In fact I just ended up doing that as I liked the original wiper arm more as it had teeth built into the cup that sits over the motor attachment where as the other one I bought was smooth!
MOT done with no issues the guys at Fiat were loving the Panda!!
I got the part no for the LHD reverse light cluster but I would recommend double checking before using it as the poor guy on the parts desk was getting abit confused as to why I wanted one! Part no is: 51779875 and was quoted £104 so might hold of getting that for the time being!!

I noticed mine has split in the same place. How much was it all to replace? I'm in two minds if I should remove it completely?

I have thought about doing this as I did it on my VTS and it looked a lot cleaner.

I may tackle it this weekend and pop down to Halfords for a gromit.

Nope, exhaust still unbalances it

it looks cleaner without the wiper, I am not talking Feng Shui

Hmmm this is not good, I'm starting to think that roof rails would look good on the pandavan now!!

Hi

Instead of buying a LHD rear cluster why don't you remove the red lense from a RHD version?

I bought some yellow lenses for my cinq which had amber and red filters in. I used a pair of pin nose pliers (and small drill) to break up filters inside. I then took them out through bulb opening and fitted clear LED bulbs which looked great!

An easy job to do. I even done the fog and fitted a silver bulb, it went through every MOT.

BTW your panda looks awesome!

Thanks

Nath

Cheers dude, I was talking to a guy at Brooklands and we said the same thing about just removing the red cover. I haven't had time to remove the lens but I do have the silver bulbs so might pop it off later today and see what it looks like!

Not possible on the Panda's light units.

Took the light units off, just ordered a special tool but it looks on for doing it!! Does anyone know what bulb the foglight is? I ordered a P21W bulb as per the manual but the bulb I took of the car was a twin end type where the ones I ordered using the manual ref was only a single ended bulb!

You're getting your stop/tail and reverse/fog bulbs mixed up. It's the single filament the opposite end you want.

This Panda was my absolute favorite car at Brooklands!

The wheel and drop combination is perfect!

Cheers for the kind words dude!
Right then a have done the clear rear fog light mod! and I am soooo happy with the results and it cost only £10!!!
This is a great mod to do to balance up the rear end of your panda!
Step 1 remove the rear light cluster,

Step 2 unclip the red bulb cover which then leaves it lose in the light units itself (it is to big to just pull through the bulb hole booo)

Step 3 use tin snips to start to cut up the cover http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171047706859?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648 this takes about 5 min take your time and you will cut it down to small enough sections to pull out through the bulb hole!


Step 4 Fit silver tinted red bulb and stand back with satisfaction!

Oh and my Gas Monkey are freshener :slayer:
