welcome to the club, nice choice in Four  8)
With regards to the rear light clusters, you have to remove the orange vent (carefully) and there are 1 maybe 2 screws behind that. Also on top of the cluster there should be a plug to cover another screw on the top.
They are then held on by some clips so a good tug and it should come off fine.

Make sure you get some pics posted up  ;)

Hehey! Welcome!

Yup, rear lights require removal of the orange panel (a butter knife does this well) - try to pry the orange venty bit up from the rearward side, just check there's no screws holding it in first (I can't remember off hand), then directly behind that are 2 more screws, and when you open the boot there are screws holding them from above hidden behind little plastic flaps. Once all the screws are out they practically fall out. You can't take the plastic front off easily but you can open all the lamps up and dry them out easily enough.

I'm not sure what you're saying about your fogs - do you not have the fogs at all? Have you bought a CS bumper and need ones to fit?

Welcome to the club buddy, glad to hear you are happy with your new motor. If you have any questions, have a read through the forum, or post up any questions you have in the relevant categories. There is a great deal of knowledge in the club, and everyone is willing to help. Also, if you could post up some pics of your car, that would be great. Enjoy your stay ;)

Photos definitely, and maybe a listing of mods/future mods?

Hi there mate, welcome to the most enthusiastic GT4 club in the world, in my opinion ;)

Good choice with the 185, but maybe I'm biased, lol. As stated, there's loads of info and always someone able to help with queries.

Cheers

PS Deffo need pics :)

Welcome to the club,

I have not changed my speakers, but my front speakers have been changed before I got my 185. Standard size is 8", but they are a slim fit, and good luck trying to find any. Most people have fit in adaptor rings and 6.5" speakers..... Then the ICE install begins (I know mine will when I have a free weekend from work  :D )

Where abouts in Ireland are you ?
There is never enough free time for anything fun.
