Guest marcus Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hello Brutus, nice idea for the lamps, have you given any thought about the rear reflector that will be needed, (for MOT purposes) or will you be putting one somewhere else!!!, see 3 holes i take it ones for the rear side light/brakelight, one for the indicator.... and one for reversing ? or rear fog on the offside. If you are ever down Hertfordshire anytime i have loads of Ford bumpers (front and rear) that your more than welcome to, i would not want anything for them. All the best........Steve.

Guest SG1 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 (edited) Quality mate,loving all the stuff you put on here,even if some of it isn`t something I would choose. All top jobs,and really well executed :biggrin: :biggrin: I`m thinking of in the future having my back lights taken out and the space filled and having lights put in the rear bumper. What are the implications of this?Any MOT reasons why it can`t be done? I like different too,just wish I had the skill and the space lol Let me know,Mr B Edited February 23, 2008 by SG1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
