Hi everyone, just alittle question, I am in process of trying to clean my st220 2002 up abit, as it's starting to look abit shabby. One of my little niggles are the rear lights. I think before I had the car old owner had abit of a bump on back, because one rear cluster has a chunk missing out of the pointed end. I want to replace this but have notice that the bootlid comes down on that corner. Is there away of adjusting the angle of the light cluster

Thanks, I think the bumper, has dropped alittle. But both light clusters seem to slope in at bottom point, so they look as they need straightening alittle

They definitely should not be advising, or incentivising? The finance but if it works out cheaper and youve read the small print id just go for it.

Bumper droop is a common issue.

A photo might make understanding the issue a bit easier!

New rear light clusters are not that expensive, and he could go for good used ones if necessary. So I don't think he need to take out finance at this stage.

I have got a new light cluster. But I need to angle the bottom point of light away from boot, or it will just get hit by boot and crack
