Gaz 300 7,317 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Just received my order from CPZ two new fog light lenses and top and bottom oem radiator hoses. After 27 years I think new hoses would be a good thing and the fog light will be brighter. 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lexx 437 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 New fog lenses make such a difference to the front of the car. Mine are border line, but holding out on changing them as I have enough going on with the car already that is costing the Christmas bonus! Quote Now - 1999 Midnight Purple NA.

Joely P 3,693 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 It does freshen them up nicely, even a new set! I used a good quality aluminium foil tape and the access is only by removal of screws, no heating of glues etc to separate the cluster! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Richard and the old hoses were not that bad so they will be kept with my spare parts. The mechanic noticed the rear tyres are getting very close to their markers so that will need sorted and pads for the rear brakes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arthur 630 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Hi Gary, I have just replaced my rear brake pads. I feel my brakes are good at this time. Also like you I got new fog lenses a couple of years ago. I purchased a set of fogs not for the lenses but for the backs! Art 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
