Today's little modification
One of the problems with using the D5 off-road is that the recovery points are hidden under covers so either you have to grovel around in the dirt to remove the covers when you need to or remove them before you go off-road.
So I thought I'd have a go at modifying a rear cover to keep the recovery point exposed.
I have the detachable tow bar so the standard rear cover bulges out to cover it. I didn't want to start cutting up my cover and wanted something that would sit further in so that it wouldn't catch if the recovery angle was slightly off to the side.
I wasn't sure if the plan would work, so I got the cheapest rear cover for the fixed tow bar that I could find off the popular internet auction site and set to work doing a bit of measuring, cutting and trimmed the cut edges with black rubber car edge protective trim.
For someone with my very limited DIY skills, I'm quite pleased with the result it certainly looks neater than driving around with no cover on and it's easy to change back to the standard cover when I want to. Next project will be to do something similar at the front.
