Picked up a Windscreen on Friday... waiting for the garage guy to install it - as I prefer not to make tiny holes in the car by myself :) pics will come, though there's not many convertible owners on this site right?
On a sadder note - my pony lights are going :( my right one has developed a...
New rules and regulations in Norway today... We can import cars from the US and just slap Norwegian plates on'em with no mods... meaning red blinkers and stuff like that is suddenly legal... I guess for imports - and not mine :( (not that I think anyone would know :D)
Picked it up from the garage today... now my radio speaks proper Queens English instead of Trumpish ;) (meaning it also finally understands EU maps!) The nice guy there also fixed my roof issues, and they fixed the front panel alignment and trunk alignment two weeks ago when they fixed up my...
Yea, maybe analog... the digital display and sync screen in my vert is at times hard to make out with the top down... granted, the sun sits a bit lower up here than most other places ;)
our plates aren't designed for screws really... they're supposed to be "snapped" on a holder... I've been using the German Solution for now, but it's gathering dirt behind the plate so I was looking for a solution that covered better and was still removable... (because sometimes you just need to...
my thumb screw got "stuck" after about 10-12 months... couldn't move it, tried to use pliers and ended up rotating the plastic around the metal... it's still stuck, so I had to get some fish line and remove the entire thing :(
talking about plate brackets... anyone know somewhere that sells something like this?

Thinking about changing my rear plate holder for something like this but these guys only ship to Germany...
have to correct this... it was NOT easy to remove after being on for about a year... basically the "bolt" was stuck so hard that the plastic ring around it got loose, i.e. I could turn and turn but it wouldn't come off... still, the VHB thing stuck like glue :D
got my car back!!! it looks grrrreat... new clean bumper and grille and they fixed the very minor misaligned front side panel and the lowered trunk...
now I just need to decide between the Sto'n'sho or Craig's Custom bracket before the popo gives me a ticket for driving without a front license...
Ford can build all they want, there are international regulations keeping them from doing this AFAIK... I don't expect this to change... also remember that the US cars have "only" red lights which is used for the turn signals while the rest of us need yellow/amber/orange turn signals... :-/
I'm actually more worried about the insurance company going bananas on me if anything happens and they find out I have "modded" lights (security issue)...
but it's soooooooooo sexy :D <3
Next week I will be driving an Opel... because my car is finally going to the body shop to get the front fixed :) (they should also be looking at misalignment of my front left fender and rear trunk lid... but a bit unsure if Fords qc matches mine ;) there's about 7mm difference between panels)...
