Despite the fact sucking for a long drive.
I do hope you put a factory stereo back in, simply for the looks.
I know Dwayne has a couple.

This is all what I'd do, so not telling you to do it.
But I'd try to factory option it out as much as possible.
Make it truly an FTO that in time will definitely be a gem and worth something.

Yes if does...
factory speakers probably not as they are hidden so not really a big deal, same goes for things like brake pads and sway bar bushes etc...

I'm making a list anyway to give to Dwayne at some stage

    Okay! she's home!

    First impressions...

    Good:
    - Engine and gearbox work well, mechanically seems fine
    - Hits MIVEC :twisted:
    - drives straight, steering is fine
    - No accident damage that i can see (front is straight, no lost inner guards etc)
    - Genuine K's
    - 12 months rego
    - 9,000ks till next service
    - Near new tyres
    - NO ROOF RUST!

    Bad:
    - Seat worn down to metal (typical)
    - seat belt guides cracked (typical)
    - Driving light switch likely burnt out (turns on park lights, Front and rear and number plate lights)
    - slight scratch on front bumper
    - some burnt out lights in the Aircon
    - Maybe shocks... dunno, was on bumpy road, will need to check tomorrow.
    - Front speakers blown (probably stock paper)
    - Sunfaded rear seat (as usual)

    To be fixed/replaced:
    ASAP:
    - Fog light switch(TBC)
    - Air con lights
    - Remove dimmer switch
    - Replace rear parcel shelf (its not too bad as it is, but still!)
    In the future:
    - Replace/repad drivers seat bolster
    - Return stereo back to stock
    - Cambelt (doubt it was replaced at last service)
    -Thermostat (just in case - car doesnt overheat though)
    - waterpump (again, just in case)
    - Shocks (?)

    I read somewhere that the COTY model comes with rear strut brace from factory... mine hasnt got one and doesnt have the holes cut in the strut covers which would indicate it never had one...

    Over all, Absolutely stoked! couldn't wipe the smile off my face!

    could be wrong, but if the switch is dead, it shouldn't do anything, maybe no fog bulbs....

        The foglight switch does that on mine as well. I think it's normal and also a great idea

        Nah, I still reckon no bulbs in the driving lights.
        The switch burns out on the input side or output side cant remember, so it shouldn't function at all.

        Given you are getting all other lights, i'd say check the driving light globes.

        2 screws to remove the cover and see if they are a:there, b:blown.
