painted wing bolts = WIN.
De-chromed bonnet lifters = WIN. (just 1 step left to ditch them all together)
The RS turbo plugs we told you about are gen FORD ones mate. Not NGK's.

Nice work Benn, my bonnet lifters have started getting some rust at the tops, need to sort them too.
is that a vectra st wheel i spot next to the bumper, i need one lol
Yes yes, wont ditch them tho, nice spec and hate bonnet stays, they look so messy. Plug i wanted to try out first, when i started it earlier it seemed better. But wanna start it early in the morning so its still proper cold to test it. If it fixes it then i'll look in to Ford Plugs. You'll be happy to know i gapped them too..lol And posted you a box of goodies on Friday.Quote:

i have a bent one too so need another :(
Why a spacer? Touching the leg?
Nice work dude..... when it comes to subtlety the wing bolts tone down the bay a hell of a lot when they arent chrome/zinc hence why I kept mine painted. Never got on with bonnet lifters as they seemed to alter the bonnet gap with nova hinges being so weak... Lastly Ill leave you with this........ ;)

Found i had a CV boot gone a month back, then at the mot noticed a bronze patch on my disc and the tester said it was pulling to that side a bit.. Tried cleaning the pad and disc. But CV grease had got in there good style and killed both. So fitted new M1144 Mintex pads and a new disc..
