huh, pretty good fix.

Your seats look great by the way. So does the little detail on those headlight covers.

looks bloody good to me

could be tonnes better if i could be bothered taking the time, and maybe a bit of filler but my car is gonna be so different shortly!

So looking forward to this project

oh yeah the FSE power boost valve is now fitted. Just a small question, can you run a PSI gauge from the fse valve to the interior? I liked watching the guage going up and down whilst revving. I have the guage but would it possibly screw up the pressure having a longer pipe?

Thanks to Murray and Azz who helped with this.

stunning example and sounds like its going to be even better

this weeks mod a custom engraved tax disc holder with my name and a BA on it from my wife for my 30th.

Awwww wow. I think that's probably the most... and least, romantic gift I've seen at the same time! She clearly really loves you and your crazy pastimes.

ok done the front bumper, put mesh behind the bumper and mesh in the wee holes.

Forgive the dozens of flies on the front.



side skirts not yet attached having difficulty with these.


Also the biggest mod i have done

Club323f Air Fresheners

THANKS Ernee!

i m convinced that front splitter looks like one from a corsa???!!!

dont think it would fit a corsa. You never know though!

i didn't mean to cause offense in any way, i just happen to have seen a corsa with a front splitter like that on way to work this morning, just reminded me of it that's all... get some more piccies up when you have them all done!

I would get some proper ZXI (or different aftermarket) fogs Steve - those Ring ones don't fit properly and are a bit squiffy. It spoils the look of the front a bit in my pickled onion.

Good bit of kit there the side of the car is looking good, maybe remove bump strips?

Looking good Steve. bump srtips are the work of the devil.

Since I like to be honest, the paintjob is a bit off on colour. Ive
just checked that with photoshop before speaking as it could
be the camera. But colours dont match which is a bit because
it can be so much cooler!

But the kit you've bought is very very nice combined! That front
bumper like that is very cool mate! Ive seen that one up
close over here. But havent seen it on sparkle green though.

Ive allmost bought the exact same thing except for the thing that somebody allready attached it and then resprayed the whole thing,
so its one piece...

However I would like to ask you what colour paint did you use?

Did you match it up with standard colour?

Because Ive now been thrue 8 cans of sparkle green

And well I had it mixed thrue my local car store hallfords type thing,
they in terms let some paint company make it and stuff it into a can.

But they ask for the reg number of my car, because then they make the paint faded a bit as it would be in the 12 year life of my car.
But its spot on the same colour as the body of the car, must add with
enough clear coat over it. It makes everything so much better, especially
with the lovely colour sparkle green!


Ive not dared to spray such large pieces with spray can, it can be done
but its allot harder. Would have it done by some company, with proper
mixing machine and spraybooth especially!


Have as Ive said I love the shape of it, have you got larger picture of the whole car?

thank you all, it is true the colour is slightly off, it is only visible in direct sunlight and the paint i got was 11r sparkle green from fordprobestore. Unfortunately i think it is basically new paint matching up to 13 yr old sun faded paint. The sides have not been attached yet as i was waiting for more paint to arrive as they are needing another coat. The lacquer was my major downfall, i got expensive primer, best paint supplier i know of but the lacquer i used was nasty cheap crap which has annoyed me.

On the plus side the front mesh was a pain is the backside to do as i had to bend it into shape 3 x times and stick it on the small vents with tiger seal but the results are nice i think. I will get more photos up but time is ticking and my new baby will be here soon,

Remember it is not anywhere near finished yet and the rear is only primed, not painted (i have to remove the towbar before any progress is made on the rear)

The bump strips SUCK!! I will tackle them when i am feeling brave!

Planetman, you always talk sense! they are out of place, that might be a future task if i am lucky and get a set.

More photos to follow.

Cool!

The clear coat can be applied much thicker then the normal paint!

Same thing can be found on my rear top spoiler thingy, its matt instead
of gloss shiny shine. Because I applied far too little of it. It looked Oh my god!!
its going to drip like, but it doenst it sticks better and is thicker. If you
make few layers of the wet look, and then last one looking completly
wet, remember that image, and touch it in the morning. Looks still
wet, thoughts go should I touch it... Try and feel, that it is completly
smooth and shiny!



Make it look completly wet, but just short of starting drips, I would
put atleast 6 coats on the splitter!!! It will need all the power it can
get for defending against shitloads of pebbles and rocks n crap.

Looked at my rear reflector today and decided it was dull, so i lacquered it.

very nice steven!!!!

Here is my new Multimedia headunit fitted. As advised by Kash i put the tray on the top and the headunit on the bottom. Its a touch screen with a remote control.

It doubles a a TV and you can hook up extra screens and a PS2 if wanted!



Also i fitted a new exhaust bracket as it was rattling and was knackered.

nice work dude!

i was just wondering if you managed to get hold of the cream door cards when you got your leathers?
it does make a hell of a difference

Yup mate got the door cards too, have a look see!

UPDATE: Fitted a brand new top o the range battery, it just about didnt fit under the strut brace cos it was bigger! Old one was a bit dodgy.

lovley interiour

X2

Very, very nice steven

The green interior is beautiful, nice mod

Looking great Steven. What have you got planned next?

thanks all,

plans

erm remove bump strips
get the rest of the body kit on
remove the tow bar
and get it through its MOT, i am saving up £600 for the MOT cos i think it will be thereabouts or more expensive, it has covered 35000 since its last and needs a cat, an exhaust, shocks, calipers (at least 2) and bushes for definate. Probably a lot more that i havent found too.

EDIT still finding out more to be done. RUST I HATE YOU!

Keep up the good work

loooks great mate!!

Okay i know some of you dont like the walnut dash kits, but when i saw it i totally loved it, i think it is a nice addition. Just fitted yeterday.

Also the other two photos are what happens when you give me 10 MINUTES with my sisters Ford Focus, some megs sctratch x and a cloth. If my sister had given me half an hour i could have sorted it!
