Nah, it's the bull bar that's not straight. I never got it quite right after I went on that garden safari.

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Whilst trying to find a parking space outside the local school the other day (I had been asked to pick up my friend's little brother as he can't drive and his Mum was away for a few days) I was fooled by the long overgrown grass and found myself parked, tail down and nose to the sky.

Decided to get a video of me getting back out, thinking it might be pretty spectacular given I had road tyres uphill on grass but my zook made absolutely nothing of it. The front left scrabbled a bit because it was being lifted up but that was it. Probably didn't even need four wheel drive.

After thoroughly squashing the old one at Wagtail I found these smart little doobries on the same website I bought lots of bits from for our Formula Student racer:

http://www.jjcraceandrally.com

Lots of good kit on there at deadly cheap prices. Those fogs were £8.40 for two including VAT, free postage. Same thing at Halfrauds? That'll be £10 each me old mug.

They're good little units too. Fairly sturdy and weather proof, can be mounted just about anywhere in less than five minutes.

Had them fitted, soldered in and working in under an hour (Anton) :hahaha:

Best part is, they look right at home. Once they're a little bit weathered it'll be hard to tell they're not a factory part I reckon.

They look good I have a similar fog on the rear that came with my bumper, my only criticism is that if you drop into a hole/of a ledge they could quite possibly get ripped off.

I will be looking at relocating mine, possibly onto the rear door so they're out of harms way...
