antz Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 never buy pattern parts.. i bought a pair of rear lights from ebay (hadrian pattern lights) and ive never seen anythign so appauling. the lenses were badly moulded and full of cast marks, covered in overspray, new backing cover over the reflector, the rubbers dont fit, the light unit itself was very cheaply made. In the end i re-used the old light units, the new rubbers and the original leneses because they were better condition than the brand new ones!...the rubbers fit shit though and probably arent water proof all that and i still need new lenses cos mine are cracked but theres no way im gonna ever buy pattern ones again. next time im gonna fork out the extra money and get genuine ford parts.
antz Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Posted June 16, 2008 balls...ill just get more second hand ones
5hane Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 genuine rears go for around £150 GULP!!! wonder how many of them are hidden it the garage
5hane Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 they woud be new 1s tho well a set of mint used ones gotta be worth £100 then on ebay ( ) or about 20-30quid in real world
jamesg Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 the body shop who sorted my capri said they had big probs fitting the pattern wings, but genuine ford parts can be costly
