Stoney871 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Aye, the Tayto down south sell in the north as Hunky Dorys but not sure if the north sell to the south. The NI company own Golden Wonder (old popular uk crisp brand) and also do own brand crisps for Tesco, Sainsbury, Morrisons etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels93 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Well it seems to have been a while since I did any proper update. Although thinking about it. Doesn't really seem like I have done much to be fair. So lets start from the beginning. Over the last month I have been toying with the car a little bit just getting it back to how it should be. First job was to get the radio facia sorted. Some of you maybe aware I have been having some real trouble getting the screen of my radio to sit on properly and connect first time. So I decided to take it all out and start again. Not only did I want to get this sorted prompto but I wanted to get the top of the surround on properly as I've been suffering with a lip over the hazard button. To cut a long story short, cable managed at the back of the headunit and give a good old push in. Safe to say, all seems good and the lip over the hazard button has gone. No pictures unfortunately, as it would be same old. Only problem I had was that when I did my radio and Speakers, I borrowed a Pioneer Auto EQ Mic. to collaborate the Speakers. Removing the radio removed this collaboration. So I went and bought one for myself, took the car out to the lanes ;) and got them all set again. Probably sounds better than before. Then came my birthday. The car more presents than me but then again what's is new there. So first purchased myself some RallyFlapz from Performance Creations. Hopefully fit these weather permitting this weekend as they've been under my bed for a few weeks now. Picture below: Although to get to this point where I am ready to fit has been a right old saga. When I got the Eibach Springs fitted I didn't get any time to put the wheels back on as I had to rush off, so I left the old man to complete the job. When I came home to see the car in all its glory, the old man says 'You may need a new locking wheel nut adapter'. I never thought anything of it and continued as normal. Well other week I tried to take the wheels off to get the mudflaps on but couldn't get any of the wheels off. Strange you may think but I know my old man ;) so I ring him 'How did you put these wheels on?' he goes 'Pressure Gun'..... PERFECT!!! NOT!!! So I find myself a breaker bar getting the first four nuts off and come to the locking one. Who can guess what happens?! SHREDDED! So that isn't happening. Needless to say after a 10day wait from ford I have a new adapter and a new set of four locking nuts with yet another new adapter as it's a different pattern. WHAT A PALAVA! Although in other news, the money is still sitting in my bank waiting for the better weather and the Triple R and I got one of these bad boys. For the record this is never going to be fitted and was purchased for me as a joke from work. Major RICE points if you know what it is! And finally over my b'day I managed to give the car a good old clean, clay and carnauba wax. Results were incredible but it's a state again now. I could go on for ever more but I don't want to bore you :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels93 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Well the flaps have been done. Took around 40mins when I had all the tools ready lol. The old man gave me a hand making sure they were all square and what not. Needless to say he didn't touch the wheels.

Banks86 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Looking good, can I ask where did you get the flaps from and how are they fixed to the car did you have to make any of your own holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made two holes on the front and three holes on the back.. Could have gotten away with one on the front and two on the back but I wanted a good fit :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels93 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 This isn't really much of an update but I thought I would put something down on paper. Managed to give the car a good going over a week or so again for a meet I had with another club. Had enough time to treat the car to the best hand job in town wahey :) two bucket method and grit guard wash, paint cleaner, polish and wax to make sure all of the winter rubbish was off the cars surface. The results weren't bad and I could start to feel the show season with each buff. I am currently humming and arring about having the front bumper, side skirts and doors resprayed for show season but I see what funds permit me. Half of this due to wanting to finally get the Triple R Front Splitter on and Rear Roof Spoiler Splitter. So that is about it for now but I'll leave you with some piccies ;) Almost forgot to mention, finally fitted some CREE LEDs in the rear reverse lights, bagged myself an ELM327 cable ;) a 12v cap and a leather armrest. So the car has had a little treat :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b4zz Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 looking lovely and clean and have always liked that ford colour and the colour you have your wheels brings it all togeather nicely. if it was me I would leave the respray as it will only get chipped again and cant wait to see the front and rear spoiler splitters on 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am however in the market for a sub and amp. I have been looking at the JL W7 drivers and JL amps. So see what money permits. Today I ordered the front triple r splitter and rear roof spoiler splitter. Hopefully get them on in time for Fiesta in The Park (8th May). Whether I will be able to get my grubby mits on some recaros before Ford Fair is another thing. But still progress will be made somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
