When you say broken tabs, you are referring to mounting tabs, not alignment tabs? Not following you for sure. Well, if you were to purchase used one, the wetsanding procedure may become useful. If not, then disregard.

Now there is a real kind thing to say.....even if there is an element of truth. Blu, I just expected more from you than this ;-)
Yes the mounting tabs. I'm fully expecting to have to wet sand any lights I get and have done a few sets already.

What did the headlights look like on these Cougars as sold in England? I recently viewed an older Top Gear show, where they raved how great the Cougar was (not sure of year of show or Cougar). Curious, as I have a fondness for this body style. Local bone yard just received a 35th anniversary model in - http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ptd/4228895379.html
No idea. Looks like that 35th anni was in pretty good condition before it got smashed up.
***EDIT***
Looking at Wikipedia it appears they look the same, however in Europe it's branded as Ford.

Yes, I need to spend more time on NECO - need to locate the Zetec exhaust header Weapon R for my 'Tour. And learn of the finer points of the Cougar. We have a senior citizen who bought his wife a brand new Cougar XR7 5spd in it's last year and no less than 6 months before his dismiss and then followed by hers. This XR7 had les than 12k miles on her. It is now in Aussieland, having been trasported to their by one of their son's. Dealer had Roush parts on it as well as the XR7 blood red everywhere. What a looker - best of both old school and new school.

WOW.......I'm #9 still, holy crap! Imagine if I had kept my car and speaking of that, its going to be NINE YEARS AGO this spring since I sold it, how time passes by!
Hey Dave, let's have a detail session on the cat come spring, been using my Griot's 6" wheel since 2010, wish I wasn't so scared in the past to use one. I've got alot of cool products now!
I'm planning on a meet. Just remember, I'm out by DeKalb now. I'd be willing to host an AG meet too, 2 garage spots, 10x20 canopy and driveway parking for probably 10+ cars now

Well Dave I know your on AG and we've been wanting to have a meet in the Chicagoland area, I don't care about the drive out there, I'm in Elk Grove Village. The canopy would be helpful for those looking to try out some products. Is your cat's paint saveable by us?
Oh yeah, paint isn't in horrible condition actually. However, and I'll post pics, Tess had to use it as a snow plow last night, so she's now missing half the front bumper and a fog light
**EDIT** Here are the pics (sorry it was freezing and I was using my phone)

OUCH.
The Roush front valence makes for a pretty effective snow plow, too.
FWIW, I cracked my bumper a couple of years ago, and was able to get a brand new repro from an eBay store, in primer, for like $139 shipped. Usually you can pay a little extra and get them painted as well. But I'd wait until this weather passes, LOL.

LOL! Trust me, all hell broke loose last night. Now I'm replacing headlights, hood, grille AND bumper and foglight(s). Although, I'm not sure what would have happened if she would have had the van like normal. It has higher clearance, but doesn't handle as well and gets caught by the wind. She could have ended up in the ditch and injured vs. us loosing a bumper.
