It is a sexy car, love the lines on the Cougar.

Can I ask you, in the 1st pic you I noticed reverse parking sensors, are they after market or a dealer option?

Cheers

Rear sensors are dealer fitted. I check that out before I bought it. Works very well too coz it has all four sensors which is rare on a car this size.

Looks good there Cougar_boy,

Similar to one that was getting a little bit of a makeover in the local panel shop recently, had a very sad front end :

Would be good to improve that exhaust and intake, gets a nice little increase in horsepower. One thing I have been meaning to ask is does the cougar have an obdii connector under the dash ??

yep, they sure do, just above & to the right of the accelerator peddle, they have a blocking plate over the connector pins so I haven't had a chance to see the pin out config yet to see if it's compatible with the OBDII scanner I bought a few months back

Thats gonna be a nice touch, seen that done on a black Fiesta up here
Might I also suggest getting some tinted/smoked sidemarkers for your car? They'd go really well with the headlights, and the silver/black theme you seem to be creating. The place I got mine from on ebay sold smoked ones too.

When you get a chance could you post the pins that are connected and whether the protocol is pwm. Also be interested to know the pcm four digit code, I am trying to know ahead of time if a sct flash can be done on the cougars/mondeo's that came to australia. I am having all sorts of trouble getting into the pcm for the Mazda, cannot even get any datalogging out of it at the moment. :

Anyway again congrats on the ride.
