Dave1981 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I was like that when I joined!! My bank account suffered at 1st lol.. The gr8 thing about modding is there is no right or wrong. It's all personal choice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1981 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'm just grateful i can spend my time modding it and not fixing it.. fingers crossed only things I've changed due to being faulty are front calipers and aux tensioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. I don't think my exhaust is going to last much longer but the upside is I can change it to a stainless steel one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1981 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I have had a quick look for replacement 1 myself.. with it being original 1 piece unit it'll need cutting which isn't too hard. Just need to decide what I want. Don't want a loud boy racer exhaust and I know my centre box is fine so prob just a back box for me, if i do change it.. not helped by fact I like the look of the rear with the exhaust hidden.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds pretty much the same as me, plus running a standard rear valence means I'd have to cut it for the tail pipe to show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1981 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 As do i.. run standard valance I mean.. and I don't want to put the zetec s valance on it.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither, of somebody sold a similar one to the ST but with a single cut out for the exhaust it might be a different story 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1981 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Course could get one made up to look like the stock tailpipe but with free flowing back box/catback system. Its only a tailpipe at end of the day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if I went to the expense of getting a stainless system I'd want to see a nice tailpipe at the end of it 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought the upper and lower honey comb grill and fog surrounds.. here Tuesday so gives me somat to do after work!! And can sell my zetec s grills to recoup some of the cost. Looking at the pictures of the grill on eBay a thought came into my head. What are you gonna do about mounting your number plate? From the looks of the RS style there's 4 mounting points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
