Hi guys thanks for the welcomes ive not been active due to having no laptop and simply being useless with computers il try again to upload a photo 🤣 please let me know if it works

 

Carbon dash, double bubble aeroscreen, full cage, great colour, rear diffuser, big red key, what's not to like! Looks like a fantastic car. 

 

A couple of things I'd make comment on, a Longacre wide angle rear view mirror would be a good upgrade especially if you do track days and if you haven't already got them fitted, some LED bulbs for those Dominator headlamps will help at night as they are not great. I have both these items on my caged Zetec turbo and I wouldn't be without either. Many people will tell you to change the headlamps, and they are right, Dominators look great but are not brilliant at night with standard bulbs. I don't tend to drive mine at night much at all so I just fitted some good LED bulbs mainly to be seen by mere mortals in the daylight.

 

Buy Longacre Wide Angle Rear View Mirror Kit | Demon Tweeks https://share.google/RmwDEs85e2vr0H6nk

 

You can buy other brands for a lot less money.

I use these super bright white light halo side light and a useful large indicator got them off ebay £42 had them on about 18 months faultless had to slightly trim the shells as a gnats tight one of the best purchases I've made if using the indicators then you need an led flasher unit which just plugs in I got an adjustable one for just £6 amazon special works great under 50 quid to see safely in the dark and be seen well worth it.

Not bulb replacement unit

[Flying Carrot Steve]

These are the ones I fitted into my Dominators. Bear in mind they are really meant for motorbikes those Dominators so will never match a good car headlamp unit. They do get you seen much better than the standard bulbs though and I've had no issues with them overheating or anything like that. 

 

[Flying Carrot Steve]

Bit of an idea of the difference. I'd still not expect miracles at night though tbh 😂

Don't forget that fitting LED bulbs in a Halogen lamp is an MOT failure, whereas fitting a LED lamp unit is ok.

I was lucky I ripped it fully out but did such little damage you can't see it
