Jaguar F-Pace: Flush Black Roof Rails Retrofit for Enhanced Style and Utility
Explore the full process of fitting flush black roof rails to this Jaguar F-Pace on Facebook
A recent project involved equipping a Jaguar F-Pace with customer-supplied black flush roof rails, resulting in a dramatic upgrade to both appearance and practicality. This installation required a comprehensive approach, including removal of the headlining and all side and boot pillars—steps that go well beyond the typical retrofit. Despite the complexity, no software configuration was necessary, allowing for a straightforward mechanical enhancement. With the new rails in place, the F-Pace not only achieved a sportier profile but also gained the capability to carry a range of roof-mounted accessories.
- Headlining removed for full access
- All side and boot pillars carefully detached and refitted
- Additional intricate work beyond standard roof rail installs
- No electronic coding or software changes required
- Result: enhanced style and ready for roof accessories
Key Benefit: The retrofit delivered a more dynamic look and enabled practical accessory mounting, all while maintaining original factory integrity.
Volkswagen Transporter T6.1: Wheel Size Adjustment and Speedometer Calibration
See how we resolved wheel size and speedometer issues on this VW T6.1 on Facebook
We recently addressed a series of faults on a Volkswagen Transporter T6.1 that arose after the owner changed the wheel size—a modification that can often lead to speedometer inaccuracies and other system errors. After a thorough diagnostic process, we recalibrated the vehicle’s settings to match the new wheels. The customer was fully informed of the potential risks, and the adjustment was completed successfully. The speedometer now reads approximately 4% under, which is preferable to an over-read and ensures a more accurate driving experience.
- Identified and diagnosed issues linked to wheel size change
- Updated vehicle parameters for correct wheel and tyre configuration
- Managed the process with full customer transparency
- Achieved a more accurate speedometer reading
Key Benefit: The recalibration improved the accuracy of the speedometer, ensuring confidence and compliance on the road after a wheel upgrade.
