Myk.. I have a dark grey S4 fender. (You can put your S5 trim on it.)

I also have two fenders that have been clearanced for larger tires on a lowered car.

I thought S4 and S5 fenders were different... maybe not though.

and what do you mean by "clearanced" rolled and pulled? pics?

PMed about the radiator

both Rotary Extreme and Corksport are making V-mount kits. but both of them have just started so I'm not really sure when they'll be out, probably late winter early spring.

I believe that's the training coil pack that drives the tach. See if you have spark on the trailing side. The car will still run decently on Leading alone.

Sometimes the bearings in the gauge cluster get sluggish in the weather. It's been awful cold out there.

I was messing with the plug wires in order to determine that the plugs were firing when they were supposed to and not continuously on. One of them (front leading) got the electrode burned down in about 6000 miles. So maybe I didn't plug the wire back in right. Worked fine today.
And yes, it's been NASTY cold.
My coolant level sensor wire got broken off - soldering those back on is a pain in any weather, but I had a hell of a time getting the soldering iron hot last night! Finally put a butane torch on low about half-way up the soldering iron tip to keep it all warm enough to flow! What a PITA.

that sucks, have you tried to diagnose it yet? I wouldn't be surprised if you just blew a fuse.
