Earlier in the week i talked about centre caps for the Boleros, i fitted them the other day and took some pics, so just uploading now.
The caps i bought were these:
Ford Alloy Wheel Centre Caps 63mm...Set of 4 | eBay
Fairly generic ford badged caps, but crucially the correct 63/64mm OD and 55mm mounting lugs.
I simply sprayed them the same color as the wheels and popped them on:

They dont look as good as the proper caps ofcourse, but they fill a hole and cost £10 delivered for 4 rather than £15 each for genuine ones.
Today
I've had a set of PFL rear lights i've been meaning to fit to the avant for yonks, but they had a scuff on them.
I'd sanded the scuff out, but didnt have fine enough paper to sand them smooth again, so they've sat in the garage for ages.
I'm trying to tick off items from my seemingly endless list, so i got stuck into this today, sanded them back with 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500grit sandpaper, before polishing them with Menz 203s (using a buffing wheel in my grinder... shh!) and giving them a couple coats of sealant.

On the lighting theme, i've also had a pair of BiXenon projectors i've been meaning to retro fit into a set of facelift headlamps. I started it ages ago (see the theme here?!) and never got round to finishing it, so i dug them out and got cracked on, using this guide as an outline:
Fix for weak headlights in stock Valeo housings?
I'd already taken apart the headlamp, so i lined up the new projector, and marked out the holes. As mentioned in the other article, one of the holes ends up interfering with the edge of the projector housing, so you need to cut a chunk off the housing to get the screw in. Wasnt too bad though:
