Very nice! Did they just plug straight into the existing loom and indicators work?

Also, what did you do with the repeaters on the guards (I was under the impression that ADR doesn't allow for both at the same time)

Yeah it plugs straight in and the repeaters on the mirror work without a problem. The side repeaters work at the same time also but it looks a little dicky with the 2 repeaters going at the same time, in regards to what Ive done with the repeaters on the guards ,at this stage Ive just popped the globes out and painted them black while I wait for a couple of custom made badges to be finished which should be towards the end of next week.

One thing I did notice is that the back of the FPV and for that matter the G6E guard badge has a holder were they go through the guard so that you can plug in the existing indicator globe holder less the globe which suggests to me that maybe all the FPVs and G6Es have the side repeater wiring for the guards also.

Nice! I'd like to see those custom badges when they're done (post some pics?).

On a side note (sorta), the mirror scalp in your pic looks like carbon fibre that's colour coded to the car. Is it?

And I don't suppose you took a look at the back of the mirror indicators - my copies(?) have ford emblems throughout the inside of the mirror, but have Volvo on the back of the indicator assembly, lol.

Done! And the ambient temperature gauge is now accurate for the first time since I bought the car.

Indicators are wired to the existing repeater wiring inside the guards and plugged onto back of badges to stop dust getting in the connector plugs. I was going to colour code the scalps but I prefer them how they are - looks tougher. Just gotta sort out some custom badges................

tpinto - You don't have the part number for the loom/wiring by any chance mate??

Cheers,

Josh

Part Numbers are up the top of this thread Josh.

Good job FG XXXR6. did you end up using the mirrors from ebay? The mirrors sure do add to the car. Hope to get my badges this weekend, Saw them half finished a few days ago and they look rather good.
