I don\'t think those foglights are quite visible enough:D

They must live somewhere very foggy.
The rear foglight on 1st gens looks tacky,like an afterthought,it could be built in to one of the reverse light apertures on the main rear lens.
ta stu..

Thats exactly what I did, I couldn\'t stand it dangling down looking all nasty so I now only have one reverse light.

syebba

I know u did,that\'s where i got the idea.:bandit
Only thing i\'d change on 1st gen is rear dangly foglight & the UK barn doors for mirrors to ozzy spec,apart from that i think it\'s a g8,sleek looking car.
ta stu..

I must agree the mirrors are ridiculous-unless you\'re driving with the wind then they might help a little.:Giggle

Mileage stacks up as was owned in 2004 by an MRC member who reported he had 23,000 miles on it at that time.
Last year has seen it move around quite a bit though.
Standard 12a as far as I know?
It should still be on posts somewhere (several) dating from 2004.

I considered this too, but I think I\'ll modify the rear lights, so they are both twin filament bulbs, one pair for tail & brake, and one pair for tail & fog :)

I have built my fog light into the righthand rear light in the reverse part of it
so buh bye ulgy warty foglight on the back :wiggle

the dangly fog light looks like a \'universal\' bolt on from halfrauds.
Seems like it\'s not just me that thinks they look tacky.[i\'ve seen nicer lights on bicycles!]

l agree but I\'m trying to keep my car as standard as poss, so I\'ll have to live with them, aswell as the mirrors.
