Customising My Mk5 smiley recovery truck,bits needed.

Postby DieselRox » Sat Sep 08, 2012 10:25 pm

Hi folks, just joined,so sorry for the daft questions. Ive had my 99 Treg recovery truck now for a couple of weeks, its running air suspension and been stood for the last 18 months,I've taken the body off so i can get a clear run at the chassis as it does need plating before it gets treated to some shiny chassis black.Ive got new wings, arches and sills waiting to go on as these have perished while its been laid up. the thing is i have a hankering for the RS Cosworth colour,ford imperial blue, and I'm thinking it would be good if i can fit a custom front bumper,twin headlight conversion and sun visor ,Possibly bonnet vents. Ive seen the RS Focus green one at transitmania which looks very trick,but then i thought about an escort Cos front bumper.just wondered if any off you guys know where i can get the twin headlights and sunvisor, what bumpers are already out there? Im doing all the work myself,welder and compressor are primed and ready,just need some bits!!! lol please help.

Lots of discussion here about visors and quad light units but never any proper source of supply. You'll have to make your own if you want them bad enough.
