Hyrule Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Declared all new mods today including some future ones to come. Minor increase of £40. not bad considering aftermarket alloys and their cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danwel Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I just double checked. £24 of that is admin fee. Im in the wrong industry The admin fees are shocking, I got charged by Adrian Flux for changing the start date yes start date you read that right!! Won't use them again as they were terrible. I changed cars from a 300bhp Mazda 3 mps to a 110 bhp focus tdci and they told me there would be no refund but would also need an admin fee to alter my policy for the remaining 7 weeks!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixmasterlooney Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Did you get an alignment done ben? i highly recommend it if you haven't already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyrule Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Well it went up on the machine for alignment but the guy said it was fine. Showed me the report, so no charge. Said if it pulls even slightly in any direction to bring it back, but i can let go of the steering wheel and wheels stay straight ;) happy days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyrule Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Was gonna do the rear badge light today in the garage but few bits haven't turned up and plans changed going out this evening. So maybe 2moro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyrule Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Not so much a modifications, but picked up a driver's side headlight on eBay for £22 quid. My existing one has a very annoying white water stain, which has been annoying me no end. Also going to do Rear badge Light this weekend so stay tuned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterlooney Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 What are your plans with the spare? Where are you working in this condition man!!! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyrule Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 I could scream but I won't. Car badge light didn't go very well today at all. Firstly, the guy from Aliexpress sent me the dual light, with blue and red instead of white and red. I double checked the order and I clearly stated white/red. He has agreed to send a replacement for now but that's the long wait to come from china. My fault, should have tested it immediately when it arrived. Secondly, when using the dremel, it slipped and cut away a little bit more of the panel than was needed. There is a small gap to the bottom left of the panel, where the badge light will sit. Now I'm not sure if I could fill this with something or if it's just easier to get another panel. One part of me wants to wait until I get the replacement light and make do with what I've done, and the other part of me thinks this is more trouble than its worth. At the moment, the panel is back on and some tape covers where the badge will be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterlooney Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Sorry about that dude there are days like that. I thought the badge was an actual badge direct replacement? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app Unfortunately it's a bit more involved on the MK2.5. Its too wide to fit in the space so you have to shave the body work of the detachable boot latch panel, till it fits snugly. It's a funny piece to work on, and the dremel slipped in my case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app Forgot to answer, spare might sell on eBay, works fine, just the stain in the top corner. Could probably be fixed by someone in the know 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyrule Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Patiently waiting for the LED badge to arrive from China, I started gathering bits for my next Project which I've decided to call Project Kit Kat. This has nothing to do with my borderline obsession with eating Kit Kats chocolate bars :D nor did it come to me whilst tucking into a Kit Kat Chunky peanut butter. 1st part arrived today. Zetec S Front Splitter. Saw it on eBay the other day in grey, matches my car colour and only £100. It's second hand with some storage marks on it, but is otherwise in good condition. Will need to get the fixings and rivets, but for now, gonna give it a good clean and then spray it myself. Ignore the Wii, Wii U, Dreamcast & PS3 in the first picture :D : 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
