What did you do to your connect today?

[Graham Taylor]

Finally got my new bumpers back and fitted.

Went from this



To this removed the bonnet bra plus changed the indicator bulb so no more "fried egg" look.



And a new rear also refitting the sensors higher up so less noticeable as not colour coded.

finally got round to fitting the new inner wheel arch liner (NSF) today, after stripping out the old one and removing the old NSF wheel arch trim, after collecting the replacement screws and (what Ford call) spring clips... although the screws turned out to be too "fat"... quite how hard it is for Ford to find the right screw for the right sping/nut clip I will never know.. but managed to get the wheel well liner and arch trim fitted this afternoon nonetheless after finding 3 compatible screws in the garage.

then tried to fit the rubber under bumper deflector thingy... that was almost impossible, well it actually was in my case since I ran out of patience after 20 minutes baking in the sun tryin to fit it.. in the end I resorted to drilling 3 holes in the deflector and in the lower bumper and cable tied the deflector to the bumper, and cable tied the deflector onto the little extension things from the lower edge of the front wheel arch trims


it may not be how it was intended to be fitted... but its done and my TC looks a lot better , and I feel pretty good at managing to fit the 3 parts myself without too much trouble.

Those spoilers are a right b*st*rd to fit and have to line up perfect and be hammered on.

when I had it clipped on at one edge.. it sagged at the other side and ended up pulling the end I had just got clipped on to fall off...
I know I saw other people saying it was tough to fit, but I didn't expect it to as tough to fit as it actually turned out to be (Pre cable ties)

They're that colour for a reason. I'm certain that turn indicators have to be amber ....... it's on the MOT check list
