Ciao Gianluca !
Welcome once more here
I also have some friends in italy, well no Cougar owners, but perhaps one day we can meet.
I was busy the past months to renovate our just bought house, so I was not that busy. If there is anything you want to know concerning EURO NECO, Cougar whatever, feel free to contact me. Everyone else is also happy to help each other, as you can already see here.
Many greetings
Marc

SUBJECT: CUSTOMIZATIONS AGREEMENT PAPER FOR FORD COUGAR 2.5

With this paper, I am asking for Your agreement paper for the installation and permission for “on the road” application, attachable to the circulation booklet, for the above parts on my 2.5 V6 170CV Ford Cougar - Body Chassis Number:

1) Ford Intake Air Cone Filter Element like Cougar 2.5 ST200
2) Ford Twin Exhausts system with „Y“ pipe like Cougar 2.5 ST200
3) Ford Struts and Springs lowered like Cougar 2.5 ST200
4) Ford Rear Strut Braces Bar with Cross Linked braces like Cougar 2.5 ST200
5) OMP Front Strut Braces Bar made for Ford Mondeo/Cougar
6) Wheels Tire size specs to both 225/50-R16” and 225/45-R17”

I’m asking this directly to You at Ford Germany because here in Italy, for regular road circulation and registration under Italian Automotive Public Registry (the authority that releases License Plates), needs the explicit autorization and agreement by Manufacturer if the Customer requests to perform any modify of chassis/engine or anything else with aftermarket parts.

I’ve already asked all before to Ford Italy, but I haven’t get any answer on items from 1) to 5), and they refuses tire sizes such as in 6), without any explanation. I hope in your response as soon as possible.

Best Regards,

The text sounds good to me.
But I'm not sure about the address. This is what I've found:
Ford-Werke AG
Ford-Werke AG Kundenzentrum
Henry-Ford-Str. 1
50725 Köln
Telefon: 0221 903-3333
Fax: 0221 903-2869
E-Mail: kunden@ford.com
Homepage: ford.de

So you can either send it via normal ground mail or via email. I think this should also work. For your first try I would recommend it because it's faster and cheaper for you. They should also be replying on this one.
BTW, I'm not Eric. Eric's nick is juliocougar. I'm Tom

[maranza72]

uh I'm sorry Tom I've made a mistcake
so I'm newbie, and I've just some new names to learn!
but I'm happy to do that!.

thanks, I'll try today the e-mail, if they request a regular mail too, I'll send it.

I'll keep you informed on any news!

[southern_coug]

No problem!
I'm curious what they will answer.
Keep us up to date.

Bye,
Tom

I think we confused things, because we were both in Garda area at the same time, and we were talking about that.

If you're talking about my customizing, you must know that I'm an American here in Germany, and we have no Tüv to pass, so I can get away with a lot more...

ciao, Eric

[chj501]

humm.... so what will it cost me to have my car under your license???

[juliocougar]

Any "children" of mine have to support my retirement...
