Gibbo 10 Posted October 22, 2014 Hi I've just brought a 1996 registered vr6 rado in sherry pearl, I love it to bits, needs a new drivers side fog light that I cannot find anywhere for less than £100!! And a few other bits but it's had a full machine polish including door shuts this weekend and is looking the nuts! I'm from Swanwick in Derbyshire so if anyone knows of any people or places that may have a drivers side fog light near me feel free to give me a shout. :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted October 22, 2014 Welcome! Glad your enjoying ownership so far, fingers crossed you don't hit too many obstacles along the way. As far as fogs go, due to the fact they're obsolete now, and regularly break due to their position so low down, people charge a premium for decent replacements. Just keep checking here and ebay. Both mine were cracked when I bought it, but I managed to find them eventually for £30/35 each. Just need to be patient mate. In the meantime, get some pics up! :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 10 Posted October 22, 2014 Yeah I've figured that there a wanted item. Lol. I did order a set from venom Motorsport and got all excited until they rang and told me that they no longer stock them :-( I could live with it if it was a cracked one but mines in perfect shape but is leaking and it's now a lovely brown colour due to the reflector rusting. I'm sure I'll find one soon. I hope..... She's going into our local vag specialist next week for a full check over and to have some coilovers fitted and the abs wheel sensors changed gona miss her.
