There's a hole into the wing from the standard battery tray, I've used this but haven't found an adequate route back inside the car, I've gone in through the grommet with the door loom but haven't revisited the project in a while to find somewhere better.

HTH a bit

Can be done with out removing the wing, bit frustrating tho taking the indicator out allows you to see what your doing a bit better.

Ive relocated my battery and took the cable through the bulk head with the ecu wiring harness.

Just a note - when you run the cable through there make a loop in it that sits lower than the grommet so water doesn't track down the cable into the cabin.

I learned this the hard way.

if you own a auto then a very easy way is through the hole that the clutch would have used .

got the cable through the passenger wing pretty easy apart from taking the wheel arch cover off, some awkward angled bolts but got there in the end. thanks for all the advice peeps :thumbsup:

I'd suggest you make sure it's cable tied to the main loom that runs through there. I've had the cable drop down in my last install so I had to go and take ALL that stuff off again to fix it up.
