Lovely. This weather has been fantastic for showing a well-polished and waxed car off.
Also - thanks for the pic showing the reversing sensors. It's helped me make up my mind.

Looking good, can I just ask - what car shampoo and wax do you use?
Mako - you dont need reversing sensors, just keep reversing till you hit something, like I do - simples!!!!!!!!!!!!

Towbar!
What did you decide?
Funnily enough it turns out I'd run out of decent shampoo so I ended up using some cheap Tesco wash & wax stuff! I did, however, have Autoglym for the rest. I gave her a good clay down then used their super resin car polish. Ran out of time to do the wheels, trim and interior properly but I'll get round to that next time.Tophat said:
lol that would be one solution, however in sheffield there is a cougar specialist who will supply and fit parts at no extra cost, luckily for me
What did you decide?
Well, I'm either going spend my overtime pay fitting a camera in the licence plate surround (and a new head unit with a screen), or just carry on doing like Tophat does and spend the money on beer.
Oh... I am so torn.
Pretty much. I don't mind them on some cars, but my opinion is that they spoil the line of the Coug's rear end. Maybe they would be better lower down?
If I'm being honest I don't really need anything back there, given where I drive and park. But my mate has just bought a top-spec Mazda CX5 and it's given me a serious case of technology lust. When he demonstrated the reversing system, (which shows your projected trajectory in 3D when you turn the steering wheel and warns of potential obstacles) I gibbered like an idiot.
Anyway, apologies for the small hijack Burger, and thanks for posting those.
Help yourself
I'm tempted by that Cougar S body kit... just considering whether or not I'd bother with parking sensors again too
The Ford optional sersors were fitted lower down, just below the number plate recess with similar horizontal spacing.

Ah - well that's definitely worth knowing, ta. I've never seen factory-fit ones before.
I appear to be wrong. Lower than Burger's but higher than I mentioned. See the 1999 accessories brochure on this link.

IMO, as I mentioned earlier, just below the number plate recess would look better and would be a more useful height due to the cat's raised arse.

I had to fit mine where they are in the catalogue as if i went any lower the bumper support bar was in the way.. they work fine where they are though..
