No sorry I don't but it's really simple just remove light and apply wrap, use heat gun to stretch the wrap into place and that it !

Did you upgrade your shocks for the 60mm drop?

No I didn't shocks still standard, as it's just temporary on springs till the bad weather get over and done with and collies will be going on, no problems what so ever with standard shocks
