My car had a rear light (mounted on the rear bumper) and cigarette lighter fitted which I understand were optional extras. Unfortuna...

Re: Door closer locator thread

I contacted John and unfortunately he can not help.

Re: Door closer locator thread

These units are sometimes called door snubbers.
I am struggling to find any second hand female parts.

Re: V8 250 Rear bumper trim
