first bit of tinkering done.

Went to to Halfrauds with the intention of buying Pioneer 5.25" speakers.
Went away with Fli Integrator 5 ( triaxial). A simple fit, sound vastly improved, even with the standard cd4000 head unit.
Next up, a new bonnet badge. Had a quick look, it appears to have 2 plastic pins on the rear. Can't see any option but to go to the stealers for this?
£20 or so.
Clear repeaters coming, along with LED sidelights.
I removed the kryponite hasp plates on the rear doors. Now have 6 unsightly holes. I have stuck in blanking grommets, but considered an aluminium plate with countersunk screws.
Or should I just fill the whole lot in and respray?

Well another very hot sunny day.

I removed my old rusty rear bumper.

Not fitting new one yet as waiting for rear parking sensor kit to arrive, I have ordered the geniune Bosch kit (main Ford dealer part)
it comes as a complete kit with sensors, module & all wiring looms. Should be a doodle to fit.

Although I thinking about doing a complete respray to Performance Blue (Met)

which will not be until builders have finished buiding my new workshop 8) 8)

The top trim is a pattern part, and the fitting is awful! I think ill be getting an OE one.
