Re: Project FTO Black Hole
I personally like the orange bulb in the clear holder. It all comes down to personal taste though!

Re: Project FTO Black Hole
Fog lights FINALLY arrived!


How the ring looks powered on:

How it looks sitting in the bumper, with the indicator:

Plenty of room around it

And some people came to visit me while I was in the shed:


Taking the car in on Monday

Re: Project FTO Black Hole
Went and had a look today:


Two of the mounts for the drivers side headlight are broken, which is why it wasn't sitting well, so that's being plastic welded back together.
Front reo was quite badly damaged, so he's also fixing that back up too.

Re: Project FTO Black Hole
Picking it up after classes today, can't wait!!
Popped in at the shop this morning to see how it's going, and it's looks fantastic.
The bumper wasn't on the car at that time, as he was fitting up the lights, he's using the original brackets, but modifying them.
The paint looked good too, they took samples from every panel on the car, all of which where different!
They then made the best match, and painted the bumper, but they also painted part of the guards so it would all fade together, if you get what I mean. I'm not too sure if he's going to wire all the lights in, but that doesn't bother me, as long as they are mounted, as it should be an easy job for me to do
Should have photos tonight.

Re: Project FTO Black Hole
And it's home!!


Now I just have to wire the lights in
it's not 100% perfect colour match, but it's not easy to match 15yr old paint
I'm happy with it

Re: Project FTO Black Hole
Looks hot... Good work..
Now you need sideskirts.. The only downside to the bumper is that because it sits lower, you need something to lower the sides.
But the good thing is the sides and the front match the stock rear..
