Try Rapid Ford Dean, I think Dan has just started doing them!

I've been debating it but am not sure yet, need to see some pics of them fitted up!

You will have to cut the back of the bumper out so that you can get air flow. I seen a good idea on lawnsys car (of this forum) it had the washer bottle removed to the passenger side and an air duct fitted in from the bottom air vent on the front bumper to the hole where the washer bottles neck sticks though. I thought it was a neat touch.

Make your own easy to do with fibreglass, then sell them for a profit.
I had these on my car when I got it but thought they were stupid, so threw them away, and put fogs there instead.

why did you think they were stupid mate???

i do kind of like the fog lights but as my car is mainly aimed at being a track car the fog lights seem a bit pointless and think ofthe weight i`ll be saving

If I was doing only track I too would take them off.
As mine is only road car I can't ever see the idea behind losing light/s.
I even took off the ridiculously dim tinted(4wd) rear lights on my sapph and put on amber indicators and repeaters.
I just like to be seen, and thought fogs were way better to have than not, I just think it looks a whole lot better with fogs in there than vents, certainly for the road.
On me other halfs car I have HALOGEN rear light bulbs, just to brighten things up, and of course me rear lights brake mod!!
Perhaps on my part I should have said something a bit less strong like pointless, stupid is a bit silly from me but I did not realise your car was mainly track though.

As above,all the same

Just that other sierras don't have the plastic trim around the foglights like the Cosworth does
