dohboy78 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 So quick update... Tried spacers on yesterday... all seemed to be going well... fitted one wheel and just wasn't sitting quite right. The original studs were just fouling the back of the RS alloy. So going to need to shorten the studs by a little, but I have no anglegrinder etc etc, so booked in at John ST-3's again on monday. Going to look nice tho: On the plus side I have fitted my badgeless grill... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason 'Tweek' Batty Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Another question, when you put the front grill trim back on when u painted it, what adhesive did you use? Mine is currently off and being painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohboy78 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Another question, when you put the front grill trim back on when u painted it, what adhesive did you use? Mine is currently off and being painted. Tiger Seal... its the Daddy! Just use a few splodges... one on each end and then 3 down the length... not too much. Then use some low tack masking tape to hold in place for 24hrs. This stuff really sticks! I used loads on my Focus ST Carbon bonnet trim... it would not come off when I sold it! What colour you going for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
