The fronts should still be available around Ł1.50 each. The rears are no longer listed.

OK I was promised some by one of my Brit friends but he only promised and I haven't heard from him since. I need them ASAP. Would there be anyone so nice to buy some for me and post by DHL or some other courrier? I can paypal money for that. I could order them at dealership but this is at least 14 days waiting. PLEASE help.


Thanks

Full set unless they have fewer in stock and they will be quicker.

Only the front ones are still available but they can be used on the rear as well.

Thanks a lot - please let me know how much I owe you!

Been to ford today, they will be ringing me tomorrow to confirm availability. They are priced at Ł2.20 each, you will need 14 in total. If this is ok for you i will price up postage (will need your address). Can probably get them shipped on Thursday.
Regards Steve

Backs unavailable fronts are 1667244.
you can use the fronts at the back but dont seem to fit as good. I have managed to get a set of rear clips( had to buy a set of side skirts though) and there is only a slight difference.

you should be ok then as that is still the front clips, however be careful when removing as you still may end breaking some more.

I went to get some front clips during the week that I ordered from Fords, they were all rear ones that were delivered, so then ordered some more fronts again, and got fronts.

Fronts - FINIS 1667244


Rear apparently - FINIS 1667245 (not available anymore)


And when I last ordered the fronts with that FINIS code, I received all fronts aswell.

Which ones did you get eventually Azrael???


EDITED because the pictures were wrong!!!

I think the pics are the wrong way round. I sent Azreal my set of fronts. The replacement set i picked up from fords are all fronts. So thats 3 sets of clips that i have ordered now that are all the same. When i removed my side skirts the clips in the first pic were fitted in the rear.

The clips in the Microcat pic are upside down, so if you look at them closely you see that they match with the pic you posted
