    Hi guys...

    I`ve purchased a Harris number plate holder/tail tidy off a forum member and this evening I have had a quick glance at what i need to do etc to fit it.

    I plan to fit it with the original exhaust (until i can afford a aftermarket job & PC) along with Arrow carbon mini winkers and using the oem plate light/reflector off the stock unit.

    I have a few question/concerns that hopefully you lovely lot can help me with...:D

    Firstly as I`m replacing the oem indicators with mini winkers I`m guessing that I will need to cover the wires with some sort of heat resistant sleeve or tape to prevent them frying where they run alongside and near to the exhaust..? Am I right or panicking for nothing? And if I do require a sleeve or tape..what type and from where??

    Similarly to the above question....with the Harris tidy I`ve noticed the oem number plate light and reflector (which i`m re-using of the oem tail unit) sits very close to the under side of the exhaust (around 5mm)...so I`m worried that it may well melt given its close proximity....again, is this probable or am I being a big jessie...? And if its probable how can I combat it?

    One more problem that I`m looking at is that the mini winkers have wires with bullet connectors on the them to attach to the wiring loom so I`m wondering how any of you that have done this mod have tackled it..? Is there male connector blocks available that could be connected to the winkers wiring to allow a simple `click fit` as per the stock winkers or am i going to need to cut off and bodge up the connector blocks off the oem winkers somehow? And if so from where...Maplins maybe?

    Thanks for any advice in advance...:D
