@ Dave: Thank you and i completely agree, they just are a nice detail. :)

@ Lodein: Haha i ik er the mechanism was taken out. When i was not that handy myself i asked a garage to close the stuck open window. In doing zo they made a mistake and cut the wiring harnas of the door. They also misplaced the guide plate. No problem they are good guys and made a mistake. However, i should have done the job, myself then haha. Anyway, all is wel sorted now!

You are very welcome my friend, glad you like the pictures!

The plastic for the inside of the doors are garbage bags cut to size. Sounds dodgey but works realy well.

It is what I thought for the plastic, but I couldn't believe, but effectivelly the garbage bags are very solid

Another little job done! THe old horns sounded a bit sorry for themselfs. I thought one horn was not working or something like that but when i checked wat was the problem it was quite obvious realy:

More clear when i removed them both:

First i looked on youtube wat horn sound i liked. I did not want a Bombay taxi sound and not a horn that sounded to modern. I decided i wanted the Bosch EC9 dual tone. The design also looks original and the quality is better. Galvanized steel makes the housing:

Plug and play:

The sound:

Good job Marc.

I have the same problem on my Golf III, but, I am not sure that I will change the horn on this car...

@ Lodein: I would advise to do so because Sometimes you need a horn.

@ 820Vitesse: Thank you!!

Last weekend we enjoyed a nice long cruise in the V8. The work of polishing and wax has made an great improvement od the SD1. Shiny!!
Image
I reproducced the coolant and brake fluid stickers for my 827 and doing so i also made some for the SD1 with BL logo:
German language because the cars were delivered in the German speaking part of Switzerland
Image
Image
Nice detail i think.

Thanks Dave!!

Hi Lodein,
I made them in Paint on my computer and then used this website:

Uploaded my design and a week later they arrived.
