I eventually found a set of foglights with the flip up covers that I used to have.
Unfortunatly, there ultra rare now, seen this
ad on ebay, also seen a set of the exact ones I had go for £500! If only I had to keep them in the shed, rather than putting them in the skip...ahwell!
Came across a cheap sheet of mesh in halfords, was marked down to €10 from €35, so took it to try it out.
Took a fair while to do it, alot of cutting to do just to get the original bit cut out, then came the hard part of fitting it. Alot of fiddling about cutting and bending, followed by a bit of plastic welding, followed by plenty of araldite and the mesh is in.
Cut out a few pieces of plastic to fill the holes where the 2 teeth where on the old one, but havent got round to smoothing/finishing them yet.
Had a bit left over, so decide to stick them in the rear bumper.
Would have rathered the diamond mesh stuff before, but for the sake of €10 you cant really go wrong!
Other than that, havent really done anything to the car, apart from a service.
Have a slight issue with the thermostat, seems to be opening too early, had it on the computer and it temp sensor only got up to 71c before the stat opened. Took it off and the rubber seal looks ok, tested it in some boiling water and it opens almost instantly so might look into taking it back to get it changed as its only a few months old.
