loving the saff pal, but think it looks better with clears instead of amber, against the dark rims........

i quite like the amber indicators, think ill get some for my moondust saff because im fed up of the clear ones going green around the edges. had 3 sets up to now (in 4 years!)

benporter · 09-08-2009, 09:36 PM

Big update today

only had time to build up the front bumper with the brand new fog lights and bumper trim , and ftted it with new fttings from ford

and the last modification i made befor i put it back

fresh out the body shop as well

tomorow will be new side strips fitted ,skirts and rear bumper

jake-cos · 09-08-2009, 09:45 PM

Pushed it out the garage and was making sure the door didn't catch........forgot the mirror on the other side!!!!

A bit more progress today

Fresh painted grill with new ford badge and grill

Fitted, some more work required here lining up etc

Skits and clips being fitted, only got one back as the other required repainting

repainted jacking point covers and new straps

starting to fit side strips

other side

but i got caught out in the rain

but gave me a chance to see what kind of beading im getting,not bad as it hasn't been polished or waxed in a year

back bumper fitted

didnt expect to get this done today but started striping my police spec seats for cleaning

surprised how easy this was but im not looking forward to putting them back together

BigJim19 · 10-08-2009, 06:21 PM

how cool are them police spec seats!!! what you doing with them, stuck em in the washing machine?

even more reason to stick with the wheels, look mega against them dark cloth seats

benporter · 10-08-2009, 06:24 PM
