Had it a while and it growing on me. Great fun thrashing it around the country roads but I have some questions... Forgive me if daft.
1. Will a bar badge fit my car without any drilling?
2. Just found some lumbar support bulbs but they don't appear to do anything ... Is there a knack?
3. Is there anything I can do to look after the hood window. Every time i drop the hood it gets some kind of crease no matter how careful I am. The crease seems to vanish after a while of putting the hood back up but I can only imagine after a year it will look rotten.
4. Should I have got a widescreen bag with the car. Going to have to buy one otherwise and they aren't cheap.
Thank you in advance

4 More than likely an optional extra.

3 Foam sausage 3-4" pipe lagging wrapped in terry cotton to aid curve rather than crease.

A badge bar will fit to the two bolts holding the lower part of your grill.
The lumbar support bulbs should work, just check that the release mechanism is jammed open!

Pretty confident that the sidescreen bags are extras - I had to buy mine anyway.
Interested to hear that badge bars can be fitted - I'll have a look at mine in the morning !

On the badge bar front

I think the ARP4 will look good with the Librands slimline bar

It should fit OK as the grille holes should be the same as every trad

When you lower the hood, do you un-fasten the two straps on the side bar (above the side screens) and make sure the fabric is fully outside the folding frame before tucking it in under the folded frame?
