rare parts for series 2? whats the hardest parts to get hold off?

thinking maybe.......

headlight protectors
mint door cards/seats

prob loads but cant think!

 

opening green gtr glass

 

front mud flaps (i cant get any!)

 

I've had an arse trying to find a new tailgate and a mint airbox
Got both now and Green Tint Opening Quarters. Getting headlight protectors next
Bits are harder to get now they are getting on a bit

 

The proper Ford mudflaps are an pain too
I got some with the car

 

i got rear ford mudflaps, just sold my headlight protectors because one was cracked on top so looking out for some mint ones now

 

didnt the black rs turbo decal (90 spec) go out of stock?

 

my mate trying it hard to find one, every now again theres one on ebay

 

fuel pump bracket!!! lol

every1 always says ford has them in stock still, but even my friendly contact at ford has failed to find me 1, discontinued

and no i really dont fancy payin 120odd quid for the AS chrome reproduction, too bling, and way overpriced!

 

like this..... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/S1-S2-RS-Turbo...1%7C240%3A1318



or this but now sold.....

yeh thats 110quid item is the AS style kit thats started to be sold

the other item is just the cradle section, its the outer frame thats even harder to get sadly

im just gonna make something up myself to save me payin a premium now they so awkward to find. 2nd hand is a joke, bought 2, had them blasted, both came back as dust lol

dont blame you mate, sounds like you not had much luck, what do you mean they come back from blasters like dust? i wanna send some stuff of soon, what do i look out for?

 

ive got some headlight protectors got them for free aswell did not think they was that rare

 

Half leather interior.

 

i'd say mint door cards or those trims that go down side of windscreen inside the car, i've had over 30 mk4s and only had 2 where they were mint

funny thing is, i've thrown away good bits for mk4s and even scrapped good shells cos they used ot be so plentiful - now you barely see them in the scrappy!

 

jacking point covers.

 

2 mk4's in scrap yard down here, not alot left on them now tho

 

i picked up a couple of 2nd hand pump brackets that looked nice and solid, just tatty, then i took 1 to work and had it blasted, and litterally watched it fall to pieces and become 90% dust as it was all just rust

the 2nd 1 survived a really light blast, but when i sent it to be powdercoated, they must have blasted it again, then i got a call saying it fell to bits aswel lol

 

i managed to get a mint half leather interior a few yr's back for my xr3i. i ended up swapping it for a decent interior and £100.

both interior's were po spec turbo stuff.

wish i'd kept it now!!

 

dmb grafics do them there are licenced by ford to make them

 

ive been looking for a top window spoiler for my s2 had one on a rs turbo years ago wish i took it off now

 

n here was me thinking they were just something off another car that people fitted, didnt realise they were actually meant for an s2

they do look pretty cool aswell

 

its like a see through black plastic one,tomcats have a similar one,ive seen people put 106 ones on and look abit crap if anyone knows of one let me know

 

Petrol tanks

 

standard items? really?

ford specialist and breakers i use over in tipton had loads last time, i rolled over and had a brand new 1 all boxed up straight off the shelf, n he had the different types to accept the different sized senders and everythin, think i paid about 50quid

 

made by mcr or someone, i went thru loads back in the day, also mk2 fiesta 1.4S (olympus or rs option) spoilers fit ok too but rarer


wish there was demand for excellent recaros ive got loads but wont let em go for pennies (sub 100) so they stay in the spare room

 

same as me dude, i had an absolutely mint pair of 88 spec recaros, and just couldnt shift em for decent money, in the end i had to move house so my hand was forced n had to take 75 for em

 

always new ones on ebay, buy it now but cant remeber how much there going for

 

Think the fuel tanks on ebay are about £69.......

 

the none genuine ford ones are awaste of time i put one on my car and it made it cut out when u braked sharp or went down hill the swirl pots are crap, i ended up getting my mate to braze my old tank its sweet now

 

just bide your time mate, i reckon most mk4 stuff is still in the affordable category, few more years yet and demand will pick up - look at s1 stuff now! I had a pair of perfect 90 speccers which i ended up selling for £130 cos had no space - planned to keep them in loft and forget about them!

 

im buying some leathers later on 2day and i dont now what to do with my 90spec seats there mint dont no what there worth

 

Yes - i haven't come across a new genuine one (mine is a 90 spec to, though i would have had a 88 spec one if i'd seen one)

All the ones coming off breaking cars have been the same or worse than mine - cracking/rotting under the filler rubber and very thin in places

 

Correct - no good to me for trackdays either

I'm either having mine repaired or something much fancier made .. it'll end up being the latter i'm sure, but it'll look nice

 

I'd have to agree with these guys. I spent ages looking for jacking point covers, now I have 2 full sets! And I've only managed to get hold of 1 side green opening rear quarter glass.

any pics of this mate

 

nah mate they look the bol**cks though ive seen similar on rover tomcats

 

I payed near £50 in a bidding war on ebay for one muppet

 

MK4 quad headlamps that allowed you to retain the indicators.

Dan Savage from my way a few years back had some, bloody nice!
