Jackmcgarry95 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I seen this photo earlier on Instagram Does anybody know how this is done ? As the bonnet has A notch around the does badge, so could this be photo shopped or just a custom bonnet ? Also I was thinking on possibly fitting the rear diffuser from the new ST As I think it looks a lot better than the zetec S, (and the front from the old zs looks a lot better anyway) has anybody done this ? And does anybody know of it would fit ? Finally how hard is it to paint/wrap the interior plastics ? And do you have to completely remove them to paint them ? Here are some mods I've done so far anyway.. alloys done white DMBs put on front and back, and steering wheel Asian grill fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 It'll be a custom grill I think. Im fairly sure the ST diffuser is a straight swap for the Zetec S's. I painted some of my interior plastics and it was fairly easy mine was the standard mk6 fiesta so I bought the bits of trim I was painting online quite cheap then just painted them and swapped them straight over. Just take your time and make sure you prime it using the correct plastic primer, make sure you leave enough time between coats and then lacquer it properly. The whole process should take 4 maybe 5 days. Ive never done Amy wrapping so cant help you there sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackmcgarry95 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yea I was thinking of doing a carbon fibre wrap or possibly paint it black or blue, I'm hoping its a straight swap only thing is the exhaust doesn't stick out on the zs, so I might need a new exhaust too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Might aswell to be honest it would only be the back box that needed changed and it would add to the appearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 The de-badge on the front consists of removing the grill No replacement of grill afterwards, just remove the existing one or cut the grill section out keeping the frame in place. Then get a body shop to weld a small section to the bonnet and smooth it out Then cut out the centre of the bumper and fill with fibre glass then smooth over Prime & paint Results are the image you have above, looks better IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
