Nathan54771 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 You'd have to have a search of eBay for one second hand, but yeh otherwise use the current bumper holes for drl's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I never went through with it and the fogs still sit in my shed, i painted then and went to cut the bumper using the templates provided so they would fit but i wimped out and never did it. Tbh you can get a fairly decent bumper from a scrap yard with the fogs all for under a couple of hundred then the wiring and switch but dont really need fogs so gave in lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan54771 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 They're really easy to fit, look good too. Down to personal preference. If you decide to give them a go don't hesitate to ask me anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan54771 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Supposedly, if you look around there's plenty of discussions on them. But down to personal choice. I've never had any problems and neither has anyone I know of, Aslong as you've got projector headlights not reflector and stick to 6000k you'd be fine.

WelshFordFan Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Just read through your project mate.... Car is a credit to you.... very smart motor defo gonna have a crack at the boot light upgrade and the caliper paint Candy blue is very nice was my second choice after my deep impact blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan54771 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Cheers mate appreciate it :) good good, make sure you post some pictures when done always good to see :) I still need to do my boot light, got the stuff just not the weather :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan54771 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Why the weather wasn't too bad and had some time on my hands, after giving it some thrashing last night at the meet so had brake dust galore on my wheels. Thought I'd treat the wheels to a good proper wash and a few coats of poor boys sealant to repel future dust :) Also thought I might aswell give the calipers a fresh topcoat while I had the wheels off.

b4zz Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 looks like the wheels have come up well and liking the red clapier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshFordFan Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Looks great mate, not sure what colour to go with for the calipers.... have been playing with the idea of gold im thinking it would go well against the darker blue Also poorboys is a decent wheel sealer but i'd recommend optiseal as a better option, Dead easy to apply just spray on and wipe off last for ages as you only need a thin coating (works on bodywork aswell) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Optimim-Opti-Seal-Car-Paint-Sealant-236ml-with-Pad-and-Microfibre-/141197025745?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Car_Care_Cleaning&hash=item20dfffa1d1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan54771 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Thanks guys :) and yeh gold could work, think red or yellow would look good too though ? Depends if you want subtle or noticeable. Thanks for the link, il give that a try :) especially if it works on the paintwork aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'm just gunna be boring and do the front silver and the back black / silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan54771 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hahaa will still look good though with the subtle look :) I just fancied a nice red caliper to match the red "s" badges and my red dustcaps ;) little things make such a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee91 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Nathan where did you get the DMB overlay and was it easy enough to apply etc have always liked the look as I have a red fiesta ST and wanted to have it done. Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
