I got them from a local classic car show this year. Chrome ones (as fitted) were £10.00 per pair. Stainless steel ones were £17.00. They are readily available like here: http://www.deegeeinternational.co.uk/classic_car_parts/Lighting_Products_5.html

Yes, and I can confirm that, I'm still shaking after a ride in the car, and that's months ago.:eek:

This is just what was wanted, it's a lovely job Aled. Good on you Dave, what a top job you have done.:D

Nice.

All you need now is the word 'FORD' on each side of the cover. Should be OK for the AVO guys then.

This guy makes nice covers as well....but only for a Zetec, not for XE.

Anyone know of a similar badge to the below ?

Glad you are pleased with the cover mate!! Looks much better now I reckon!

I have a heap of Zetec covers to do next if anyone needs one?? Also VW and S16 Pug ones but they are slightly off topic here I reckon??

Cheers for the Beers Aled!!

Dave...
