Looks excellent mate,
How much did it all cost in the end?

What doesn't look right about the front?

Looks nice from the !Removed!!

Btw, the calipers are finished with a silver coating (mine are at least) you would want something contrasting and that will still show through brake dust. I'd go with red personally.

Looks well pal, reckon you should get a set of Ford centre caps or DMB gel overlays on those wheels!

Your own preference on caliper colour really. I've said before, without any offending anyone, that red ain't my my favourite colour. I went with a dark blue Hammerite on my old Mondeo and did the same on my Focus, matches well with the blue of the Ford centre caps and I wanted to keep them subtle. Basically though, anything is better looking than tired old rusty looking calipers!

yer i am going to get something for the wheels prob new center caps.
i think im going to paint them silver i did not really want red.

believe me i would but the Missus would kill me

i could just about afford to, but it would literally skint me for a while


plus like i said my poor old girls only a few miles off 100k

so i dunno if it's gonna be worth the expense


i've recently treated her to some black projector head lights, but just found out it'll be a while before i receive em as they took me money when they arent even in stock

100k is not a lot for new diesel engine!
have you got a link for your lights?? would like to have a peek!

[Brigante]

mines an 05 plate petrol mate

Missus couldn't go mad about me lights cause i just treated her to a 32gb google nexus lol so that was her treat n the lights was my treat. just a right wounder that she got her treat delivered the next day but i'm gonna be waiting nearly a month for mine

these are the lights i've ordered

http://www.carparts-...e9e210263320e09

i was toying with the idea of retrofitting the genuine st xenons but couldn't justify the price n the hassle lol and then i came across these that look very close to the st lights and have built in drl's in the form of halo's

[superpipstar]

NICE! a month will soon fly by!
Sounds like me and my misses!! lol

[Brigante]

just really annoying that i couldnt find any uk company that does these specific lights so i had to order in from germany. they take my funds immediately so my accounts 150quid lighter, then let me know a week later that they arent in stock and say it'll be around 10days before they get any more in. and then if/when they finally are in stock, i gotta wait for delivery from germany



i bet you got some right stick off her indoors for the st alloys lol

[superpipstar]

yer got loads but now its all on "oooo that looks well nice"
she has been at work all day and i havent mentioned that iv ordered an ST front bumper plus grills!!!
