Post by **5lab** » 06 Dec 2004 10:13 am

does anyone (pete) have a set of front fogs? i'm after the standard, in-valance, glt style ones, from a.. umm.. glt.. i'd ideally need the loom/relays etc, but I *do* already have the switch

cheers!

Hugh

Hi Hugh, I'll have a look in a minute, I know I've got one or two odd fogs, but I seem to think a couple of them are cracked. However I'm sure there are a couple that are fine. I may even be able to get the loom out of one for you as well! Give me some time to take a look and I'll get back to you! Pete

cheers pete! i'm also after a rear door 360 trim section - the plastic bit from the outside of the car - passenger side if that matters

Hi Hugh, which bit of the door trim, are you after, the actual door bump strip? Pete

Just had a look at the pics, you mean the small angled end cap near the wheel arch? Or do you need the entire strip? I take it the fogs on the 360 GLE are blanked in at the moment with plastic, are these genuine blanks? I'm assuming the valance is the same as the GLT to take the fogs.

hi pete

yeah the gle has blankers which i believe can be removed pretty easily and replaced with fogs.

i'm actually after the entire strip, and the end cap, as my strip is snapped before the end cap section. they're hollow inside - i recon the best way of getting one off would be to get an end cap off then simply pull..

I'll see what I can do! Couldn't make out quite where it had come apart, whether it was on the end cap or before. Looks like a nice motor though. Did you see the one on the Auto Trader site, a 360 SE saloon, with Air Con, Pas, Leather etc on a C plate. Nice car, but gone!

btw - my car is in ok nic, spots of rust need sorting and theres a few dents in the roof (!?!?!?!) but otherwise its pretty good. bit worried where i might get some paint from thou, recon its gonna be a job. the dent in the door can be pulled quite easily i recon - i'm gonna get the trim then take it to a secialist, get them to bling it up for me, cos i'm crap with stuff like paint/filler.. unless anyone here wants to do it?

X was a printing mistake! £180! Shame, looked like a nice car, apparently owned by someone wealthy before hand, so money no object with regards to servicing and up keep!

oh well. theres that 360 on fleabay going very soon - no bids and £50!

I went and had a look at it the other day actually, purely out of interest and I was in the area. I've no more room though. It did have the gear change indicator in place of the econometer gauge, which for a 360 was interesting, as it already has a rev counter.

Hugh, I have the door strip, easy job to remove! No marks or scratches at all. The fogs, managed to find a pair that were already removed when I got the car, however one is fine, the other has a spot on the inside oddly enough, where the glass appears to be cracked and chipped. l don't think it looks too bad. I'll get some pics up for you later on. I do have another set, but I already have a use for them, as the glass on another 360 I have is smashed, so I'd like to replace that. I'll have a look later, as they appear to come apart, the plastic shaped surround clips on, so it may be easy enough to change the glass. That may however be quite expensive!

if you think it'd not be an mot fail then i'll have them off you - gimme a price and i'll paypal/bank xfer you some cash

- did you find a loom at all?

i'd offer you something in p/x, but lets face it, i dont have anything you dont

the econ light is based on rev counter AND pressure afaik, which would explain the use of both..

Post by **5lab** » 06 Dec 2004 02:50 pm

or on second thoughts, if your car has 1 bust fog, and 1 of the glass from these fogs is bust, then a combination of everything means 2 broken lights and 2 working sets? maybe?

Pete.. what was that black saloon like when you went to see it? I may persuade my mate to get it..
