Am not posh enough for a mk7 and there far too new for me, on the close I live on i have the oldest vehicles the bitch is 13 and the car is 19 (the car cruised nicely at 100 to Blackpool and back last night).

Have you found a body kit for red yet. N

No there's a few on eBay but i want sport arches sides and back and van style front and boot spoiler. :mrgreen:

Don't really like the sport kit but there's nowt much out there.

Would also like a tailgate rather than barn doors but it's all baby steps at the minute. :wink:

Ah thought it was some secret code :wink:

Can you not make your own body kit with glass fibre you seem a very talented man, I have lost count how many different car side skirts I have measured for my van that are just a tad too short or the price at the junk yard is too high for my liking.

I have seen a few customs with rear door spoilers that look 8) colour coded, what about an escort cosworth chin spoiler. N

Thanks :-), but i run out of stream near the end of my projects and they end up looking a bit gash :shock: :lol:

This time with the custom I'll just buy, paint, fit the same day :?

You may be right about the tailgate, what about a roller door? :lol:
They should have invented an up and over tailgate i think :D

I forgot to say, i bought a driver airbag which still showed a fault, i removed my mondeo bag as i thought I'd try a test, buy the connectors were too different for me to confidently id the custom bag pins.

I had the bright idea of seeing if the custom driver airbag would fit in the custom passenger airbag connector, well it's obvious that they would be different, but actually no it plugged straight in, and the passenger code disappeared so i was happy about that as Otto proved the bag was ok.

So now i thought maybe the driver squib was faulty as I'd read on Google.
But when i plugged the bag back into its rightful place i scanned for codes and there were none for the drivers airbag. Ffs :roll:

So it looks like i just need a passenger bag and that fooking lamp can go away. :mrgreen:

So you do need both bags plugged in my random guess was right, electricwizardary confuses me, I cant even get the car alarm and cl to work.

Its not very often I guess the right thing :D

At least you know now how to clear the light.

Bloody ford. N
