Looking at repairs and modifications being made to Murenas everywhere, I thought that you might find inspiration in what owners of other models have done.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

As an aspiring mechanic myself, I'm not convinced by the wooden or aluminium siding. It looks a little too American for my taste. My 1.6 boasts a near perfect hood/bonnet and the air filter pan needs no upgrade as seen. Also my lights work as intended.

However, I do like the defogger mod. It always seems that the passenger side demists first. I have a length of foil tubing and will give it a go, but will direct both outputs into one in front of my driving position. I may paint the tubing black so as not to make things too obvious.  Smiley Smiley Smiley

Actually, I quite like the corrugated look, it's reminiscent of old Citroen vans. Smiley

Would it not be easier to take your motther-in-law for a ride ?  Wink

It looks like you are using bags of potatoes. How do you keep them from falling off when you accelerate and turn?  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

On a more serious note, you should be careful that the weight does not damage the window seal or hinges.  Shocked
