New FTO owner! Need help

[Rad FTO]

Hi I'm Linda just bought an FTO today... Headlights and tail lights are in bad shape where can I get a set if crystal headlights!!! So so wanting some, thanks xo

Hi Linda WTTC ,
I don't think that you can get "crystal headlights" for the FTO. Most of us have had to sand and polish our headlights to clean them up, if you do a forum search for "headlights" you will find a lot of info. You can find some new or pretty good headlights on eBay some times, but they are very expensive.

werent the lights in good shape though?

[silverGPX]

not the taillights, they were leaky and cracked.

The headlights just needed another sand.

Ah it's black and the owners name was Kate... And yeah the back lights were snapped on the corners, I want to fix all the little blemishes so u know a lot about this car then, i had it towed to my mechanic this afternoon to fix water pump change timing belt and give it a major service. I'm hoping that's the only engine issues with it.

[silverGPX]

Yes I know the car inside and out in detail.

Thats good that you got those fixed.

[silverGPX]

I would also recommend:

Changing the gear box oil.
Finding out what the clunk is inside the passenger door.
Also their is a whole wiring kit i left in their installed for a sub and amp in the boot itll be tucked in under the boot floor. Amp and sub will hook straight up.
Machining the discs.
Replacing the Oxygen Sensor & Engine Temp Sensor.

Their the weather strips and i would highly recommend not taking them off as i have sikaflexed them on and it sets like concrete and you'll be left with a mess behind. Just spray them with Black Plastic Bumper paint.

Why are you getting the roof retrimmed?

To fix the sunroof hmmm, not sure youll have to ask around for that.

[silverGPX]

But thats the extent of my help on this car.

To be honest, its not my problem car anymore.

There are plenty of other members on this forum that will be glad to help you out.

Sorry.

[Rad FTO]

No that's cool I totally understand... Thanks anyways
