I think I've got it!

BEFORE I start this blog I want to apologize for the shocking photo quality you are about to see.
Owning a standard white iPhone 4s I wanted to be unique, stand out from the crowd and I bought a replacement back cover and front screen, in blue. Now, I tried fitting it to the iPhone yesterday, and I stripped a screw (darn it) but decided to put the new blue back cover on anyway, while I figure out what to do with the stripped screw.
Anyway, the long and short of it is: the plastic camera lens ON the cover is VERY bad quality, thus - with the cover fitted I took pictures that you'd associate with a Samsung! Anyway, I took it all apart today and replaced it again with the original back cover and took apart the blue back cover.
It didn't take much to get the see through plastic out, I gave it a quick rub and clean but this didn't even slightly affect the quality of the pictures. I then decided to take it completely off and buy a replacement part from eBay, can't be THAT hard to fit - can it?
  
As you can see the top picture is blurry.

The clear part of the cover came out easily, but to get the black plate and chrome ring took a little effort, and I mean, slight effort LOL.

Now to wait on a replacement.
Ok, iPhone out of the way - you DID see right. After a couple weeks of, I really want to get this pressure washer and either not having enough pennies or it going back up to the full selling price I have finally got my pressure washer. I am so excited I could wet myself, lol.


Now: Crimp on spade connectors.
For weeks these have been my demons but I think, I just might think I have got it.... (Thank you Suzy and Brother.. everyone off the Forum, even one chap on my Facebook - everyone who has offered help and advice with this, stupidly easy job!)
It seems despite my efforts in finding ''decently priced'' and pictures of what seem good, half decent crimp on spade connectors I bought some incredibly cheap tat off Flea-Bay. So cheap that in fact the male spade wouldn't fully connect into Mrs Spade. Check out the pic.
It seems Mr Spade was a little too big for Mrs Spade, lol.

I chopped his knob off and so, they lived happily ever after.
The tape in the car will be brown to match the colour of the connector that was taken out. I will do a neater job on the car, I promise!
Back up plan:

If anyone knows how I managed to get this metal crimp plate out of this connector, please let me know..............
