Sierra rear lights
andyps - 19/8/04 at 08:18 PM

Quick question I hope someone can answer for me - I am currently trying to sell some of the bits from my donor on eBay and have been asked if the rear lights from my Hatchback would fit a sapphire and I don't know the answer - can anyone tell me please.

Lucky! I had loads of bits from my donor on and didn't shift one.

Sapphire and hatchback are different, its the height upto the top of the rear panel and the radius on the curved bit

i advertised all my old sierra bits (including a new complete exhaust) free to a good home, and nobody wanted any of them.
im pretty sure the rear lights are standard - as i had a saphire, and my current isnt, and the clusters look the same

I started the lights at 99p and haven't actually got a bid on them yet - but heres hoping! Actually, the front bumper is currently £25.01 which is pretty amazing even though it does have fog lights fitted.

I put the bits on thinking that they may be of use to someone somewhere and any money received helps buy bits for the locost!

Mark - does it mean the lights are different do you know - the pictures confirm my thought that they were very similar.

We sold the V6 and gearbox out of our sierra but nothing else. Might try sticking the lights on ebay, someone's bound to have killed their estate rear lights.
It had an RS leather 4 spoke wheel though (ala RS500) and I've seen those go on ebay for around £70.
We plan to use it on the 7 provided it's not too big.
AndyE (new member here who's local to us) told me of an experiment he and his brother did, breaking a Calibra I think it was and flogging everything on ebay with a starting price of 99p. They made about a grand profit I seem to recall. Not bad if you can be arsed.

My auctions finished last night and I made £84 from the bits I sold - pretty pleased with that. The "big money" bits were the power steering rack with pump and reservoir and the front bumper with foglights (from a GLS) which both got £36! Surprised the headlight didn't sell at all, but I guess timing counts for a lot.

Anyway, all money towards new bits!
