Would also like to no which cams you have brought also which stainless steal manifold did you buy? Btw the rear light cluster and front bumper sound a bit chavtastic.

dont fancy the bumper? i will be fitting a forge intercooler at somepoint so though the silver behind the black would be aesthetically pleasing?

That's it, I'm converted  :laugh: looks ace!! And I hear angel eyes are a no no? I spose they're more for the saxo and pergeuot crowds? However that's what I was told by ford guy. Thinking on this?
Cheers fully though by your reckoning should I get the mechanics sorted first?

Apreciate the honesty, recon I'll get a set of old lamps and perhaps tinker about with them and post the outcome, girlfriends always said I'm good with my hands  :cool: lol
