next i got some pedals for it that look good just waiting on them to arrive :)

Also check this link for where i bought all the stuff from and links and pics (http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/61404-spend-my-money-for-me/)

For Anyone Wanting to Upgrade

Warning Link Intense!
you could change the Fogs to Cree Lights can also be used for reverse light http://www.alltronix.co.uk/cree-leds/
Lenny in the forum recommends them (check out this thread) http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/61146-cree-led-headlight-bulbs/
also talks about decent bulbs at the front of the car called Osram Cool Blue Intense (http://www.amazon.co.uk/INTENSE-halogen-headlamp-64210CBI-HCB-double/dp/B005Q0F9PA)

and interior lights is another change you could do if i remember the interior lights is 501 capless so for interior i would go with these 194 501 T10 Wide Angle 12 LED Wedge bulbs (http://www.wardenjp.com/stores/194.html)
You get them in 4 colours Amber, Blue, Red and Xenon white all geat lights and trust worthy supplier
personally a went for the blue lights for my footwells and courtesy lights

I used these for my map reader lights and my registration lights and they are exelent VERY BRIGHT! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-T10-W5W-501-194-168-Car-White-20-SMD-LED-Interior-Side-Light-Wedge-Bulb-Lamp-/390955722443?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5b06c6e6cb

I picked the longer version for the boot light http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-X-42-LED-SMD-White-T10-W5W-501-194-168-192-Car-Wedge-Side-Light-Bulb-Lamp-12V-/361010037995?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item540de004eb

You can also de-tango your indicator lights by replacing them with Philips SilverVison http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-accessories/car-maintenance-accessories/bulbs/interior-bulbs/?48177516S&0&cc5_201
ive still to do this lol but wee hint if you sign up to this forum premium you get discounts from that place 25% off a think lol (waiting to i get paid lol)

i

and if you want to keep ur key in good nick i got this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251407574392?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Thought it might lol. It says 15-30 days delivery when you add it to the basket! Shame you can't select any other shipping options. Wouldn't mind paying an extra couple of quid to speed it up a little.

Right I got my new pedals today and also the mist sprays jets but I had to glue a drop on the top of the most sprays and they are still spraying over the car so I ditched them and kept the original jets but didn't know you can adjust original jets with a pin so still a win lol but pics of the new pedals!
