Stoney871 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Looks like i wont be unplugging it then lol. Unless you're treble jointed with wrists like twigs I reckon you'll need to. Have you checked your handbook for the code card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark222 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I didn't get a handbook so no card i'm afraid......plus i have big stupid hands.....hmmm sounds like its gonna be a bit of a challenge.....will have a go tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager King Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Weird, I could pull both mine and my friends gauge pod out with my hands. Didn't need to touch the radio, both my ST & RS headunits just pulls out with the 4 keys. Code can be gotten for £3 from a guy on eBay. Wheels spacers, I bought from my friend when he sold his Rs.

Stoney871 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Phenomenal car. (I won't comment on plate legalities though) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhr90 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Read the first and last pages, then went back to red the lot. Well worth it. Great build, I'm sure I'm not the only person envious of this project! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salsheikh Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 how did you manage to paint the inside of the headlight? there was a question on this forum the other day asking if the headlights could be opened and you might just have the answer!

jeebowhite Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 You can lightly bake a Headlight in the oven to break the glue of the lens, remove and then do what you need, then reseal it with tiger seal.

Jager King Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 (I won't comment on plate legalities though) :) LoL these are old pics, I'm running "legal" spaced ones now. Although the anpr had no problems reading either plate. It's a silly law, as long as they are the correct size & font, spacing them shouldn't matter. glad I managed to avoid a £100 fine though..

I had a friend open them for me as I tried with a cheap broken set and failed. ( It was taking too much time and patience, neither of which I had lol ) I then customised them a little and installed devil eyes, which work off a remote. Isn't to everyone's taste but they can easily be switched off & the reaction from people's faces when no ones in the car is priceless :D http://youtu.be/fGUYrY7IQ4Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhr90 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Those headlights are brilliant! Got any more mods planned? I really need to get myself to a Ford show one day. Although my focus would remained parked round the corner in shame at the condition it is in :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpionSX Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I believe there's just a LED strip nicely hidden between the lens and the bulb, projecting the light out...and then it's just a matter of how many effects can your LED controller handle :) ... I have similar system installed in my living room behind the TV :) ... looks awesome on the car though ;) ...and of course, it's controlled by remote, you can sit in your car and switch effects as you ride :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark222 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Like scorpion i have this installed behind my TV sort of emulating the old PHILIPS AMBILIGHT system....also behind my pc monitor. It looks impressive on your car but not my cup of tea as i am too old lol......10/10 for effort tho. :) There has been a few debates on some RS forums about st/rs conversions....mostly negative, and i have posted a link to this thread a few times showing how it is properly done, and to also show the amount of work involved in doing one, as some seem to think people just chuck a couple of bumpers on and spoiler/vents and away they go lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although my focus would remained parked round the corner in shame at the condition it is in :( Selling my Rs turbo and internals and going for a 500bhp set up with screamer pipe then I promise I'm done lol never be ashamed of your car man :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager King Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 That's correct ScorpionSX :) It's only for shows though.. and my entertainment whilst I'm not in the car haha certainly gets the attention of people lol You can't please everyone Mark, people will always hate, especially on that club and not just with replica's either I've heard, so I tend not to post anything on it. However I have been contacted & added on Facebook by many Rs members worldwide giving me praise & even asking if I'd do some mods to their cars. Fast Ford also posted a few of my pics I had, and even though it got a few thousand likes, I was pleased to see most of the comments were positive.

Jager King Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 So the triple r splitter never lasted long due to a huge ratchet strap being left right in the middle of the road. I ordered another but this time it's the modified road version which is better :) Trying out the new car scented cleansing and sanitizing mist, was fun :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
