Stumpy Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 September’s project 🥴 I am planning to delete the spare wheel cover and the plastic trim on the rear door. i have just received the fibreglass replacement panels and I am waiting on delivery of the licence plate holder to go in the middle of the spare wheel. two questions for anyone who has done this. 1. what to do with the rear parking sensors? If you unplug the them do the other two still work or do all 4 need to be plugged in? 2. is it a legal requirement to have the rear fog light? thank you 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikumar Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Rear Fog lamp is not a mandatory requirement in UAE. And with regards to the parking sensors I believe it depends on how they are wired, in series or parallel 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumpy Posted October 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 It’s taken a while to finish this project, my number plate mount got lost in shipment for a few weeks Before questioning my sanity with the wiring after, still need to sort out the reverse sensors. Had to make a loom with plugs for the camera and number plate light so I can get the tyre off easy. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was pretty easy in the end, still need to relocate the parking sensors to the bumper, found if you unplug them the alarm goes off every time you put it in reverse, but if you leave them plugged in and taped together so the sensor are hard up against each other the alarm stops and the others still work 😂 nearly 11kg of weight removed from the rear door 😳 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffroadPAJ Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 From where did you buy these panels from.... One garage has already removed the tyre cover and routed the cables to mount number plate, sensors and light but doesn't look clean....now i only need these panels... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 @OffroadPAJ, I know this doesn't answer your question, but why don't you keep the stock rim as spare and maintain the whole thing as is? I mean - it's for emergency only, so... why not? I wouldn't want to install any half-done products if these were not the best quality and stock look is somehow the most clean you can get on this car...

Hi mate, I got the panels and the number plate relocation bracket from Australia. A bit more expensive but much better quality. They fitted like a dream. should be easy enough to find on google. I have sold my paj and all the bits/records that go with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This mod is usually being done when the tire size changes, so the spare tire doesn’t fit in the original stock cover anymore. Spare rim should be same size diameter as your other wheels if you’re planning on driving in 4H with center diff lock on. Otherwise your differential and transfer case might get damaged after a while as far as I can remember. In two wheel drive with open diff this is not an issue of course. If you rotate amongst 5 tires then definitely they should be identical. 2 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."
