Tomson Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Hi all, looking to update my car a bit - got some Eibach springs going in soon, cobra exhaust on back and debating a Tripple R Comp splitter on the front as they now do one for the Mk3 ZS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaskell71 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Great looking car now what would I do, Eibach is good start, I might also fit the Koni FSD shocks these sound great and I would see about getting it remapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Nice looking motor. In addition to lowering it, if it were mine I'd consider the following: debadge detango dechrome upgrade interior lights to LEDs wind deflectors mud flaps clear rear brake light darker alloys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front splitter in the second picture, is that the standard one? It looks good.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The splitter is OEM; it's the standard Zetec S splitter for the prefacelift Mk3 and is a two piece - quite smart really! - mine also came with a clear rear brake light as standard. some of the suggestions I've already done (pics are a couple weeks old) I've detangoed, wind deflectors, upgraded interior lights. Darker alloys is definitely on my list, but would I go gun metal or satin/gloss black?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 First of all, more pictures are required [emoji6] we always like to see a good project coming together.I'm not sure that I would change that splitter it looks pretty good to me, but if you want it to look individual then I guess it's an option.I would consider trying to wrap the chrome strip on the grill and fog surrounds, can't see that costing more than £20 if you do it yourself. The wheels are a tough one, I'm a fan of a set of gun metal alloys but I'm not sure in your case. What size are your alloys just now? They look right on the car, and should look even better with the eibachs. I'd be tempted to get them dipped, you could try something unique. Gun metal with a silver or gold fleck that sparkles in the sunlight but can't be seen in normal conditions.Painting the callipers, that's the other thing to do. I've always wondered what white ones would look like on a dark car with dark alloys. Probably horrendous lol.

The splitter will be staying put, the TRC splitter fits underneath but I'm not 100% on it as the only car with it fitted on their website is a camo wrapped example. I do have a project thread on this forum under Batmods. Everything I've done so far is on there :) the wheels are 18inch and I really like them but the car does sport too much chrome for me. I have debated wrapping the car similar to this guys: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Lowering it and putting the TRC splitter on might make it pretty impractical for everyday use mightn't it? Do you have a wagon because you need the boot space, and do you carry heavy loads as that would have an impact on my decision if I owned the car. I do like that RS, colour looks smart, not sure if it would lend itself to that striking bright colour. Do you have photoshop? I love the primer grey colour Ford have but it is a 'special' colour ☹️ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
