Mate, About those polished alloys, I know of a focus owner on another site who purchased a set of the snow flake ones and had them fitted for 6 months over the winter months, I'll get some pics for you, the results of road salt and freezing conditions blisterd the chrome coating resulting in them looking like a broken mirror. I'll search for the thread on another forum now and bring the pics to here for you to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artscot79 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 25 percent insurance hike for viper stripes just make sure he informs the insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moy24 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 mate said he spoke to his insurance comapny and it goes up by 5% only. I no there a company out there where you can buy the ford overlay but custom ones which you can design yourself on the website with differnt colour or writing on the badge, does anyone no the name of the company i cant seem to remember the name.

moy24 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Hi all i as you all no my car is a st replica but i have decided to make it into a facelift st as i came across a good deal. Im swaping my front st bumper with a facelift st bumper with the lower grill just need the upper grill and i brought facelift side panels both panels of eBay £40 as the panels have no indicator on as its facelift model im gona buy some st badges that i can put on the wings. I also brought the facelift headlight with R8 DRL built in light with LED indictor built in cheapest i found on eBay for this light is £329.99 but i was so lucky i just payed £130 for the light of a guy (Private seller) on eBay brand new never used with manual.all i need is a bonnet and wing mirrors with indicator.cant wait i wont do the build till after winter as i need to the parts painted and dont want the winter salt and snow to damage the paintwork.
