Time spent fitting an under tray

[riktherider]

hey, just a bit of a wondering really. ive ben scanning through a few places, and people seem to be taking ages to fit there aftermarket undertrays. i brought a powerbronze one today, and expected it to take me a good couple of hours to sort out, but loe and behold it only took me about 50 mins!!
one person said it took him 6 hours to do!!!!
just want to see how long it took other popel to fit.

About 45 minutes. So I clicked an hour, shouldn't take longer than that.

I've got a powerbronze one... It fits over the top of the original (on a K3 it does anyway,) but you need to 'modify' the original undertray slightly for it to fit...

The only part that is a bit of a tw@ is fitting the plastic nuts & bolts (which are used instead of the pop-fittings underneath :roll:) The easiest way I've found is to use a 10mm socket on a screwdriver fitting (if you've got one) & using a small strip of paper, wedge the 10mm plastic bolt into the socket. Feed the plastic screw/bolt from the bottom, up into the under-seat compartment & screw the nut on (whilst holding the bolt in place with a screwdriver) - its also much easier to undo & remove all the screws, pop-fittings, nuts etc. which hold the seat plastics in place first, this will allow you lots of space/manuverability to get the plastic nuts/bolts for the undertray in place...

I've fitted it & removed it many times now... I have the scraped knuckles to proove it :roll: :cry:

i only ended up using two nuts and bolts to hold the under tray on, the rest of it is sloted under teh side panels. pertty solid though which is good.

It tookme around 2 hours but I was changing the indicators and doing some other stuff while it was off, don;t know how long it would have taken just to do the job. I work pretty slowly when I'm not pressed for time though, much more relaxing :)

The undertray I fitted to my old K3 was an Ermax with intergrated indicators, all with different connectors. And you had to modify (hack) the old one off just before the battery. Took a couple of hours but it fitted and looked the business.
