Incursus's Mustang

Incursus · June 03, 2011, 02:47:16 AM

Update

Well as some may know the Mustang failed its MOT last week.
The cursed headlights strike again!! Fortunately I had already ordered a stock set from the states on order to refurbish my aftermarket ones.
So fitted those last night

They actually don't look so bad without the cataracts...

Also failed on not having a rear fog light....I disconnected that five years ago

I preferred to have it as the 3rd brake light.

Anyway I reconnected it and shoved some diodes in there, so that I could have it as a fog light while still keeping it as a brake light

Retest at 16:00

Next purchase will be some front fog lights. I had a look and the connectors are there for the lights the GT version gets. So in theory will be easy peasy to fit

Also if I decide to keep the stock lights, some white/clear indicator housings as I don't like the orange bits and they are a little cataract.

Also, finally getting the front and rear bumper repaired next week.

She's been good to me for six years now it's about time she got some TLC.

Not sure why they had a problem with a centre rear fog-light... The Mazda RX-8 has a central fog light, and I'm pretty sure I've seen others.

Passed.

Hooray - did you ask about foglight lol

Incursus · June 07, 2011, 02:19:08 PM

Yeah apparently its ok to have a centre rear fog if it came from the factory like that. Otherwise it must be off side. Was running late so didn't have time to argue.

hmm

Only time it seems you'll ever get a discussion this forum about the offside rule...

(thats the right side yeah?)

Will be interesting to see if they pick up on Vicky's. Welcome to borrow my bolt-on if they do.

Got the car back today. I now have two shiny corners.
Fresh paint really shows up that the rest of the paint needs a good cut and polish.

Recommendations for cutting compound? I only have t-cut at the moment.
