The plug is for the airpump, and that sensor looks to be for an aftermarket water temp gauge.

Keep the pics coming matey

the bumper fits good but might have to modify the exhaust slightly, its too close to the bumper for my liking.
cheers guys

Oh.My.God.

Please remove those headlights, and taillights, and set them on fire. Completely ruins the look of the car.... that's not an FD any more. It's an African Bullfrog
