Not too tight, just a little more.. oh f*ck.
So i phoned in sick today at work.
Felt abit better so decided to play with the car. From all the feedback i've had on the car i decided it would be a good idea to see what the car would look like without the horns.
The horns:
Horns off..
Then i was putting the mk2 spoiler back on..
The end result:
In my defence.. How are you suppose to know how tight to tighten the bolts that go through the glass... Too tight and the above happens.. not tight enough and it will fly off on the motorway. Definately citroens poor design's fault.

this is why they have rubber pads on them, you only need to nip them up.
Hope your boss doesnt think that your had the day off to work on your car

The horrible sound of glass shattering...
I have tint film on inside so it should hold, then all that tape on the back to hold it together aswell. Just dont want it shattering onto the drive really lol.
Got another boot or two in the garage so will be able to replace it easily enough.
Mark, He'll never know.
