Default Vintag for S2

Is there anyone or anywhere out there you can get a new vintag. Mine really lets my slam panel down.

Thanks Daz.

Ebay, How deep is your pocket? How long can you wait, a year, 3 years, 5 years?

Almost impossible to get hold of. When you do manage to find one, You won't be the only one after it. Expect a full out bidding war. I haven't seen one for sale for quite some time.

If however you don't mind an aftermarket cumstomised one, along with the paint code tag. Monster on the RSOC forum does a brilliant set he can make and sell you. Don't know how much these cost, I had a set made up 5+ years ago and cost me Ł35.

If not you can go to Ford and they can make up a black VIN sticker for you?

Have you got a pic of your aftermarket set Mark ? The sticker from ford sounds ok anybody got a pic of one of these ?

I've had a bit of an engine bay tidyup and this and my servo is all that's bugging me with the car now. Well i need a hose kit too , but that will be along soon.

As you can see the vintag is a bit of a mess.

What i am surprised at is why ford wont restamp a new one for you if you have the blank, its as if they dont want you to help show your car is legit!

No got no pic, I took one many years ago. If you are wanting the under bonnet tidy, You should try to find a dizzy heatshield as yours is missing, as is the ignition leads clip too.

Also you have the incorrect engine bay decal(s) and missing at least one.
