what a total disaster that was!
well what started out as a simple fog light change ended up with my car sitting in the drive for the past 2 days with the front end totally in bits.

Started off I couldn't get the bumper off, then the passenger headlight got stuck while trying to change the full beam bulb and more of the front had to come off, then a fog light bulb fell apart on me!
By this point I was mighty pee'd off and decided to call it quits and put it back together... but even that wasn't going to go right and I ended up getting more pee'd off, snapping one of the side clips off and abandoning the bumper behind my house is disgust lol

On the plus side I got the moisture trap off the intake system ready t fit the filter into the wing later in the month and both my full beam bulbs are the same colour again!

New fog lights should be here tomorrow so I can start all over again...oh goody!

the best part? I took the bumper off to fit a Laguna splitter, but decided it looked daft on the mkII!

Some pics of how far I got:

...and you got to Callander, how?

I'm sure you'll be happy with it when it's all back together again.

Suddenly you can see why garages charge £140 ~ £150 to change a bulb ! I hate the bulb access on the ZS, it's the worst car i've ever had for bulb changing !

Off topic sorry ....
Callander ..... OMG. When I was 4 I moved there. My mum was the district nurse and we got a house next the clinic on the banks of the river. Beautiful place. Stayed there for a few years before moving to Hawick where I spent most of my youth and then moved down to London....ah memories...
