Re: FORD CAPRI 280 HEADLAMP SURROUNDS
My instinct says no.....
Although I can see the valance selling as it must surely be the last NOS one still around?

" moulded in brooklands green." Surely they are just painted though like Laser ones ?

Re: FORD CAPRI 280 HEADLAMP SURROUNDS
Judging by the fact the part number is from 1978 I'd probably say so yeah - 280 tax hits again!Not_Anumber wrote: ↑Tue Feb 08, 2022 3:42 pm " moulded in brooklands green." Surely they are just painted though like Laser ones ?

Some people it's all about the money
The last pair I bought cost £25 inc postage.
Admittedly they were just the satin black finish but to paint them any colour wouldn't have cost that much.

Re: FORD CAPRI 280 HEADLAMP SURROUNDS
I'd be buying these for a fifth of the price
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363701062085 ... Sw06dh7UF3
Or these for a tenth of the price!
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165310220863 ... Swucxh-BDX
Can of paint from Halfords is £8...
I might buy these £40 set, paint them green and sell them on at a 900% profit

Crikey!
I wonder if the seller ever thought that they'd sell for that much? Must have thought all their Christmases had come at once!
with the waffle mats, I hope that you can find some.
Andrew.

Re: FORD CAPRI 280 HEADLAMP SURROUNDS
These were the original mats that came with my car, obviously not Capri but there are Ford, but no idea what Ford

From the date I would say 1985 maybe a later Sierra but definatly not mine as I need this shape which are the earlier models https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125110143468 ... SwCWlh6ZKv Even this ad is incorrect as later cars mats are different.
Thanks Andrew, a mate has early front pair in his later Sierra so hopefully I can get hold of them at some point, that would be a start.
I bought a cheap set similar to those in the link above, but as the car is so original I thought a set of OE would finish it off
