Going back to Stian's Cossie, in my eyes it always will be the ultimate Cossie.

I have the tow bar cover but haven't managed to fit it yet. Originally it was fitted with some kind of plastic rivets to the bumper but since I have a new bumper the rivets are not there.
It's an key lock for the boot. I was told that it is connected to the alarm system in the car. But i'm going to get it removed some day. Thanks!

Sorry for lack of updates on the car. Been really busy the last year with family and other things so the car have only been collecting dust in the garage. I was at the Ford event at Rudskogen with the car last year. I guess some of you have read the report in PF, but unfortunately the car was not featured there

Hi, I know this is an old post and I hope you are still keeping the car and the setup.
I have been following your post regarding your wheels dimensions but I cannot be sure exactly which dimension and offset you had finally.
So did you have 17 x 8J on all front and rear (ET20.5 for the rear and ET35 for the front)
OR did you have 17 x 8J ET20.5 for the rear and 17 x 7.5J ET35 for the front?
Grateful if you can advise me on this
You also mentioned that the wheel was catching the caliper, did it resolve with your final front-wheel setup (17 x 7.5J ET35 OR 17 x 8J ET35) or you had to add spacers?
Is your final setup not catching the arches? I'm not sure if you had rolled them but they look to me very OE original.
Thank you very much!

Think i would get the problem with tires catching the arches then. A bit of tire stretch looks cool too
It's 8x17" on all four, ET20,5 at the back and ET35 at the front. The front wheels has been sent away from IW today, now i'm really excited to see if they fit.
Thanks for all the warm comments guys, as always it means a lot to me!

But of course, another problem showed up, the wheel is catching the brake caliper even though IW is well known of that i have standard brakes on the car. It looks like they are only catching this little point. Actually i'm considering just to grind it down.
