Ah... Thats a point!! I never mentioned!!

I found out yesterday, when i went to clean the bit where the old grille was, that someone has clearly reversed into me in the past.. as the old grille has scratched the paint!!!

Ive had to touch up pen quite a fair bit!! I'll have to get the polish out and cut it back now!!

Did it quickly so wrapped it on the car, I'm going to get new one and wrap it off the car top get a better result, but this will do for now!

Sorry for the poor quality pictures!

lookin good mate

looks mean. much better

Looks sweet mate!! ;)

How easy was it to do on the car? Got some carbon wrap today so may try that myself!!

Fairly easy, I cut a strip that was about 6 inches wide, then heated it gently and applied it. I made sure it was firmly stuck then cut the excess with a scalpel. It's a bit of a rush/bodge job but I have plans to either buy a new lip and wrap it or carbon dip it...

But this will do for now!

As long as your careful you'll be ok, I'm waiting to see how long before it peels as its not wrapped round on the top in some places as I couldn't get the credit card down the gap!!

I will take a good pic tomorrow I promise!

Anyone tried fitting a Mondeo MK4 steering into ford focus like this ? Instructions translated using google is a pretty unclear. Just wonder anyone here has done it and could write a guide in english :) Would be awesome to have cruise control and all the fancy buttons for our tdci.

Today was a boring day.....

So I got the carbon vinyl out again!!!

Fairly pleased with the results, next step will be the radio surround and associated centre console plastic!

I may even get the red "S" logo cut in vinyl for the steering wheel...
