Well here is what ive been up to over the last couple of weeks!
Starting with the lights:
nakedness:
rear fog light done:
rear main light:
fitted rear fog:
fitted rear light:
together:
then onto the inside, wheres it all gone?
here it is:
bit of primer:
bet you can guess what colour its going?!
but then the roof liner will look silly being cream so ive got to fix that, requires some time and patience:
as you can see im coving it in a lovelt striped blue material haha
and done:
here it is fitted:
now with the sun visors i decided i didnt want to paint the standard Ford ones as they are vinyl type material and look rubbish when painted sooo ive raided the parts bin of another manufacturer and got these:
will get some more pictures soon, it was too dark to take any last night after i finished.

Nice work - I am really liking this RS, not been a big fan until seeing yours and the mods. Your just down the road from me too - have to keep an eye out 
Just out of interest - what did you use to re trim Headliner and what paint did you use for the plastics?
Cheers, Matt
