they do take a little getting used to, the more i see on the road the more i like them it all depends on the colour of the car imho, i hope to be facelfiting early sports by the start of november which is an easier proposition thant the vogue although will be a full bodyshop job with new wings etc, the wiring we have learnt on the vogue will help with the sport so do hope it will be a november start. As long as your alright

I must have missed stg in your previous posts, probably due to language lack.
Now, are you saying that RRS conversion is simpler than FFRR?

Does the first case involve an inline resistor (like a did in my Audi lights update) or a deeper work.
I read a lot of work about the difficulties of having the job done and the lack of parts due to forthcoming facelifts, but unfortunately I did not get the point about the easiness of the conversion.

i will post plenty of pics when done, ref easier the sport than the vogue i hope so but cannot comment as yet on how many and what type of resistors are required for the sport as we are yet to convert, all i know is i have all the parts to fit a sport up to 2010 spec and need a demo car:) i have plenty of vogues in stock but have sold my sports, one of which was an hst so i did not want to take this one apart. As long as your alright

In my opinion they look better at night rather than not switched on during the day, hopefully by friday of htis week we will have the rears adapted to fit and have and will use the same vehicle for a 2010 supercharged facelift to be completed over the next few weeks in between other work. As long as your alright

Adam,

I'm sure someone, like Dcc, could do the interior - at a price.

For the FFRR conversion and the RRS rear lights, he has converted wiring looms etc to accomodate the new features. So sounds like most would be possible.

Most things in the MY10 interior are roughly in the same place, so think it would be new fascias, panels etc and new parts - heater controls, radio, binnacle, s/wheel.
But think the cost would be so prohibitive, would make more sense to buy a MY10.

Dcc are in Woodford, he was looking for a donor RRS to practice the full 2010 conversion. Why don't you get yourself down there, you might get it done for nothing. You might be able to talk them into doing the interior. Thumbs Up
