Hi, been lurking here for a few weeks and finally registered. I work as a courier and we currently have four connects in our little firm, recently sold our oldest connect, an '05 which served us well for some 25,000 miles. Anyhow, not today but last week I switched to led parking lights and also xenon converted the headlights, here's the parking light in action, Cheers!

Hi Charlie, fidley wee job. Only one of the 4 holes on the st170 seats line up with the connect holes :roll:
I had to extended the rails on the seats on meet up with the connect holes. Some flat bar is all i used.

Welder and some petience is required :)

www.modyourtransit.com do a seat fitting kit. Have a look as its not a small job to fit different seats. I fitted Fiesta ST seats to mine making all the brackets myself, but would not be in a hurry to do it again.

hmm yeh, making your own brackets are probably out of the reach of a lot of general people.. i certainly have no metal bending/welding tools or knowledge.

/on topic
only thing i've done lately is put new mats in and been driving it a lot as my car is currently a bit poorly ;(

i have now had new alloy wheel nuts, wheel chock and ramp delivered though so this weekend (weather permitting) i'll be hopefully getting my alloys on and wheel chock fitted for the bike.

then i think i'll have to leave it a bit and let my stinging wallet recover from everything i've been buying lately, then i'll get the ply lining kit and get that in and carpeted.

just taken delivery of my nice new sideskirts from modyourtransit, so my old original sportvan ones will be up for grabs. Let me know if anyone is interested? will prob let them go pretty cheap as they are slightly damaged and need a bit of tlc.

Fitted a Focus 2.0 airbox with resonator, Focus intake pipe and K&N panel filter.

Nice mod I must say, a bit of fiddling but fairly easy to do. 8)
