Swing away wheel carrier fitted...
And now I have so much room for activities!!!
My spare wheel is finally out of my boot and onto the bumper! Spent a good 4-5hr today at BAS with Darren Leeper stripping, cutting and refitting the bumper with a shiny new gas strut assisted swing away wheel carrier.... and all for £650.
Happy doesn't begin to desrcibe my mood right now
