Divszy Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Just some prism 501 LED Bulbs from Halfrauds... I didn't mind getting them from there cause 1) i couldn't be bothered to wait for delivery and 2) dad gets discount with his trade card... But TBH, even the ones off eBay are just as good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negendahl Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Could you link me to the bulbs you used for your de tango? Thanks!

Divszy Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 I just got some generic ones from ace parts, £7.50 delivered for all 4, seems to do the trick just fine. And they are bright enough. Can't get link as their site doesn't work properly in my phone so apologies there mate. Edit: those bulbs would work though, PY21W is the bulb code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Only thing I would say is to ring up your local ford parts before hand and make sure they have it in stock. Rang multiple dealers around me and only one had them in stock ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divszy Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 So it's been a while since I've updated and too be truthfully honest, not a lot has happened since. Since the last update, the side indicator bulbs have come: They haven't been fitted yet but here is a before shot anyway: This arrived: Which then allowed me to do this: From this: You may have noticed that the metal battery cover has been painted from black to red to match the on going colour scheme. I also went out for a couple of late night drives with a friend and he managed to get these shots taken: And lastly, went out for a little spin with nick around loughborough and managed to get some good snaps but these snaps are too follow shortly once I've managed to go through and sort them. So yeah, so since last, it's only really been bonnet struts that has been fitted. C&C's welcome. But as always, more to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningMat Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Bonnet strut looks good mate - nice and sturdy... Are you happy with the quality of it - Does it hold the bonnet well? Where did you get it from? - Link please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divszy Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'm happy with it certainly. Was well worth the money. Holds the bonnet very easily, the bonnets quite light so you only need the one. Got it off NBstyling on Facebook. But sico developments do the same kit on their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoZetec13 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'm in the process of fitting mine and I've run into a problem. The idiots that out everything together have painted the back bolt and it's solid, anyone ideas on removing it? Few attempts already abd it's just striping it!

D13 HPD 95 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Put some wd40 on the bolt give it 5mins to soak get a socket head and hammer it gently onto the bolt head then get a socket and put a bar across the handle and gently pull should stop it stripping if not drill it out and new bolt it Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divszy Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Is that for the ground? If it is, you wanna take off the bolt through the front, as the back is welded on. And if it gets stuck, prise it as you undo with a flat screwdriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bholm Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Looking good, Divszy. How do you like the hose and AS induction kit? Does it do anything other than make a lot of noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
