Ollies122 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 IMO LED would look a bit chavy colour code them would look so much better 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 I'm going to colour code them and fit LEDs see what they are like for £3 worth a trial will upload a pic see what people think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiesta1.25 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Just colour code mate, I agree with ollies led on your washer jets would look cheap, chavy and a bit naff..... In my opinion of course, If you do add them upload a picture of it then ask people's opinions :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 NooooooooooooooooDon't put LEDs on your lovely car ;)I colour coded mine. It takes time but well worth it.You'll need sandpaper, plastic primer, your preferred colour and lacquer / clear coat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiesta1.25 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Take your time and do it like willy says.... Here's mine, not the best pic but I'm proud to show my handy work, if I had LEDs I'd be ashamed lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Mist type mate for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiesta1.25 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Wise choice Daniel, you have redeemed your self respect and the respect of almost every single FOC member as a sensible ford owner :-) Highly recommend the mist jets, I wasn't too sure about them when I first fitted them, but now I wouldn't go back to the standard ones. Upload pics once you colour code them, also you could code your aerial base as well :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Thanks will order a set of mist then ta can you paint them still?? :) n hmmm more painting ;) n i know lol i nearly puked when i plug them in and fainted lol!!

Fiesta1.25 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Aye mate you can paint the mist jets, mines and looks like willy's are mists too. Take your time doing lots of prep.... I sanded my jet housing to give the primer a good key to adhere, build up thin coats of primer sanding lightly with 1200grade wet n dry then same with your colour.... Building up thin layers sanding between coats, then the lacquer. I'm sure I did four coats of everything. Just cos its a tiny piece to paint, don't rush it or it will end up looking crap, and the paint will most likely crack. At least you saw the error of your ways with the LEDs lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1g_dav3 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I painted mine, easy as. Didn't prime them and they've lasted well. I wouldn't recommend skipping the prep though, as they won't last just I have like 5 pairs of the things lying around and about a half hour to do them in :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiesta1.25 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I did mine using the same method as the washers....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Ok is it easy to get off?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiesta1.25 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Dead easy mate, just unclip the interior courtesy light, then unscrew the aerial base from inside the roof lining using a torx T25 then unplug the cable. This is for a mk6 but in sure the mk7 will be similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
