now for the glass case to put it in...

I would be afraid to drive it. Let alone get within 10 feet of it since I'm such a klutz. Good thing you're on the other side of the planet from me.

Nic work.

What is a frustration?

I was suppose to receive three packages from three different countries with the most amazing stuff today, all three of them confirmed at yesterday and NONE of it turned up.
I even phoned all three at 12H00 and again at 15H00 to confirm that it is still to be delivered today "yes sir the driver is on his way" its 19h51 now!!

Worse of all I'm leaving town tomorrow for five DAYS!!

No, No, No,.

I just fitted the Jagger engineering kit, it look fantastic, but ............. most of the stuff does not fit.................. my baby is right hand drive and the kit is for a left-hand drive vehicle!!!

I just e-mailed them and eagerly await their answer ..................

Is the frustration ever going to stop, but I must admit as long as we can sort it out its worth every bit of it, it make an incredible difference.

I'll bet they don't make a right hand drive kit. That sucks!

They have a RHD version, infact, it seems to be their default option. Hopefully that is what you selected, and they made the mistake.

I actually ran to my study to check and yes fortunately it is their mistake, I marked the right option, I must say the kit is so nice and they have been so kind during the ordering proses that I will really not hold this against them. Its just frustrating - it take three weeks to make up the kit and then another two to three weeks to get it to me. (South Africa is a great country but African time is a thing of its own).

This is the part of the kit I could install.
I'm not sure I like the aluminium switches I might end up not using them.

I also include a pic of the stuff yet to be installed it includes:
The red tappet-cover letters
The black 944S2 for the boot
The crested valve caps (color and black couldn't make up my mind. think I prefer black)
The blue LED dash lights
The Euro mirrors
The glove-box metal arms
The switch overlays
Pro Max Chip
The shiny white brake fluid reservoir

That's cruel and unusual punishment Johan, to be that close and then have to wait yet again.

Looks very classy, we'll all keep our fingers crossed for quick passage of the replacement bits!
