The
1997 Face Lift
My Laser got a
Christmas present of a set of fancy Hella fog lights and a Motorsport front Spoiler. I
have never been that impressed with the front end styling, and the previous owner had had
a few knocks on the lower panel. It seemed an ideal solution to fit the spoiler. The
spoiler was delivered from the Capri Club after quite a wait. I forgot that I would
actually have to paint the damn thing! The spoiler was sanded, smoothed, sprayed in
plastic primer, and finished off with several coats of diamond white paint. Fitting was a
little bit tricky but with the help of my Father in Law, we got it attached without any
mishaps. The remaining gaps were filled with silicone sealant and then the fog lights were
fitted
..
I actually wanted the fog lights to use
in fog unlike most people these days who insist on leaving their fog lights on
permanently. I was traveling along the A14 a lot and it gets very foggy in the winter
months. The fog lights caused all sorts of mayhem. After wiring them up the wrong way
round and consequently melting about six inches of my wiring loom (very scary !) I finally
sussed out what I was doing wrong and hey presto they worked. Yet another drain on the
alternator !
I think that the modifications have much
improved the look of the Capri. You will have to judge for yourself when you see the pictures.
