Just taken delivery this morning of one of these: http://www.litewave.co.uk/litewave_kit.asp
It's a concourse car and originality counts for everything. Does anyone have any advice on the original fitting locations - particularly under the sills.
Cheers,
Andy

Todays top tip: create a spooky lighting effect by forgetting to switch off and remove your torch from the nose area before refitting the grille.

Not sure about the fitting but a bit of "light DIY" should sort it.
I can imagine that the reflections would look great when going over Niagra Falls.
It's bit quiet today, considering

Remember also that when these were fitted by the factory the suspension was jacked up by about 4 inches to get a better view underneath.

Right, don't forget the Big Ben chime sound fitted to the last Shapecraft 50R models. It is synched with the pulsing ground illumination through the turn signals.

I'm pleased you mentioned that because my car doesn't seem to have a switch for those lights.
Where would it normally be fitted?
Can anyone say what the colour coding & guage is for the wiring & if a relay is hidden away somewhere?
Did all cars after #66666 have an alternator & can a sidewinder exhaust system still be fitted?
Oh dear it's well past Midday here, sorry.
