meet between 2 red (german) 360!
Yesterday I went to Germany for my first german V3M mini meet with Tom, that was an excellent moment... We took some pictures of the day, unfortunately the Nürburgring track was closed but I'm sure we'll go there again to test cars... The last pictures shows the last (great) accessory that I bought just before Tom could have the same one

That'll me me doing the household chores for the next few weeks then. "Don't worry about dinner love, I'm just off to the ring with Aymat".
Was good to meet you, mate!
It'll be a challenge to get those spot fitted securely: Aymat says on Mk IIIs they're fitted to the grille? I can see those plastic lugs breaking under the strain after the first speed bump ...

Nice one gents, looks like a nice get together!
Mick is right, I do have a set of brackets that he gave me. I can get some pictures, they actually mount to the bumper, on the inside metal part. I didn't use them on my 360 as my lights mounted in a different way, but they did seem to clear the bumper and fit correctly. I mounted mine to the bumper and fabricated a bracket from some 2 mm thick steel, easily bent to a similar shape and doesn't bounce too badly on bumps. I still need to taken them off to spray the brackets, as usual I got the job done as a test, and because it worked they never got removed to be finished!
Nice pictures too, but you do need to get the bodykit back on your 360 Aymat!

Bounce on bumps? Just put stays on! Means you can adjust them more accurately too, just need to use your head so you can still open the bonnet.

actually Chris , you dont need to use your head to open the bonnet ,
theres a little handle under the dash board and you just pull that
( we need an I'll get my coat smilie )
Aymat ,will the body kit fit ok with the tailpipe being at such an angle, surely a straight exit back box is neede with the kit ?

Yes, Aymat said the wheels were a period accessory for the 480 series ...
This is the bracket which came with my set of lamps, a little different from the one I've seen on Aymat & Jay's set:

LOL, that's why I used the thicker metal, worked well, and then meant nothing could rub, and everything was still easily removable, like the grille if need be. Also in order to fit a stay or support it would not have worked too well with my lights. The brackets my lights have are easily adjustable on an allen key headed bolt on a clamp. But there were some that seemed to clip into the grille. The thing is the grille is only on plastic lugs and does move a little bit. As I say, I never got much movement at all, even down some rough tracks!Chris_C wrote:Bounce on bumps? Just put stays on!

Tom, those brackets do look different to the ones I have, I will get some pics when I find five mins!

That'd be great, Pete! Just to complete the "bracket pics" here's a closeup of Aymat's brackets:petefarrell360 wrote:Tom, those brackets do look different to the ones I have, I will get some pics when I find five mins!
and Jay's were different from both of these:
There must be several variants around, if they were fitted to Mk II & Mk III 300's, 200s and 700s. That makes at least 4
