There was a K10 wing in the right colour in good nick in a breakers about 20 miles from my house. When I first saw it I didn't have any tools to get it off and I didn't have any cash. I told the guy I wanted it and he said he would wait til I'd come back to remove the wing before he scrapped the car. Long story short, he didn't, went all the way up there and was not impressed. So to make me feel better I stole some bulbs and a clip to fix my drivers side lock barrel in place.Then I went to another breakers which is notoriously expensive and found a lonely K10 which had been well-stripped. Despite this it had perfect condition hyraulic boot lifters and a perfect condition parcel shelf (albeit the wrong colour), it also had the rear parts of the rubbing strips which I've been after for a while. They charged me £14 for all that...I wasn't impressed and tried to knock them down but they weren't having any of it. I tried to tell them that my whole car only cost a fiver more, but the guy just looked at me with a blank face, eating his butties. Anyways I parted with my money £14 in the end and fitted the lifters and parcel shelf when I got home:<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/carmadbaz/J203KGB-097.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Comparison of my old lifters and the new ones I got:<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/carmadbaz/J203KGB-096.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I am pleased with them...the parcel shelf is the wrong colour but it's the same colour as my boot carpet (also the wrong colour for the car) so it doesn't look too out of place and will do until I find one the right colour. I'll keep the other lifters in as spare as they work perfectly well, still have all there compression and that, they just look horrible. I'll try and remove the nissan sticker, sand them down, respray and replace the Nissan sticker if possible.Later on I have to go and cut someones hair, but if I cut it really quickly there should be enough daylight to wash and dry the side of the car before applying the new rubbing strip. And then I can fix the lock...I hope he wasn't expecting a good haircut lolNot had much time today due to working on a few websites and helping my mate get parts for his Discovery, and I'm still really annoyed about the wing thing, but still I've done a few jobs that have been annoying me for a while so it's all good <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite13" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
