  • Just realised no Ford Fair Photos went up. Took 16 hours to prep the motor and was really happy with the way it turned out. Was nice to meet a couple of you guys even though I wasn't on your stand.

A few people have commented on my chrome strip on the bonnet (the last being Kieran above), so I decided today was the day it was deleted. I had today annual so decided to use it productively.

I took the car to the local signage place who my family have used regularly for various things for a quote and ended up walking away like this.

I am £20 lighter but it took the guy an hour to get it right. Especially with me being anal in the background ;)

I'm liking that now you have got to fit those vents too that will totally finish the front end off brilliantly

Thank you buddy. I've got a triple r splitter for Xmas too from the misses.. Although thinking about fitting it post winter due to weather forecasting

the bonnet strip looks much better now it been wrapped fella and the vents would finish the front end off a treat. once you fit the splitter in the spring that would be one mean looking front end imo

Cheers buddy.. I want to dechrome the fog rings at the front too to sea grey to go with the remainder of the car and that will be it finished. Back to the back end, inside and underneath

Very tidy set of mods there.

I think the vents will definitely fit in well and add 15bhp ;)

I thought it would make it perform like an RS.. Is this not the case :P

they will help keep the windscreen from frosting up while driving in winter,

May see a slight reduction in mpg figures as the will create a level of drag creating increased vacuum within the engine bay through front grills.

Good point well made. I was looking at getting the same induction kit as yours. Probably get the miles back up.

The K&N57s is an awesome kit and i highly recommend fitting.

as discussed in further detail here:

http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/36783-green-cotton-performance-induction-filter-fitting-guide/

It increases performance and reduces lag,

If driven easy it does provide a significant increase of 3.2mpg 👌

I'll be having the side port of mine blanked off this week using the supplied blank; as the weather is getting colder 😧diesel doesn't like freezing conditions,

Causes particular particles in the fuel to bond like wax,

This can become enriched within the fuel filter restricting flow,

There are some products available to add in fuel tank preventing waxing but I'm happy enough just to have plug put in side induction.

That is a superb improvement!! It's good how you can add the side port though.. Just trying to justify the costs to my misses at the moment "/ its not going too well truth be told.

I didn't tell my missus until well after she fitted it,

She guessed 80euro but was double that and more given it was 1 euro = 70p 😣

worth every penny though,

kinda calmed her down when I said it sucked as good as she did 😂

And prodigy motorsport were cheapest supplier 👍
