Good effort! Used to have one in white, but that front looks dead mean in comparison!

Where did you get your gel overlays from?? I'm trying to get white ones soo badly but just cannot find them anywhere

Looks good pal, how did you do the headlight tints? Black wheels would look decent on that car!

Cool looking car dude. Btw, is the rear diffuser for your zetec model a plug and play piece or it comes together with the whole bumper? Ive been looking for one but its very hard to find one, where I'm from.

Old enough thread this.

Ah well.

Any excuse:

Your de-chromed look is growing on me a lot! Really like it. Ditto the footwell lights.

Did you upgrade the main screen? Wasn't aware the larger screen came with the standard stereo, sort of assumed the upgraded Sony unit would be standard on a Titanium?

Any plans to tint the rear windows? It could work very well with the rest of the stealth black look you have going.

Cheers buddy. The screen was updated by the previous owner as he wanted satnav, not sure what exactly was changed though. He also upgraded the alloys.

I'm looking into tints yes, it'll definitely be getting done but I don't know when lol

Did you wrap your fog lamp covers in black or did you spray or just fit in black coloured fog lamp covers?

Hi Ben. I took the circuit board out of the connectors and wired in two 30cm led strips. The way I did it was I wrapped the exposed ends of the LED strip around the two connector pins on the circuit board, plugged it back in and wrapped up the red led so it can't be seen. Obviously fully wrap and insulate the connections. The strip now works and behaves accordingly with the ambient lighting function.

Cool I'll give it a go!

Off topic but I've installed new DRLs on my focus but the headlights look really yellow next to the drl & sidelight LEDs, do t suppose you know of any pure white headlight bulbs?

I'm running with night breakers at the monument, are they as best as they'll get before xenons?

Thanks again for the help!

Pure white you'd need to go down the hid route but that really needs to have xenon projector headlights installed for it to work properly/legally.

Not that I've done it legally I might add. I have HIDs in reflector headlights I'll admit. I know the implications and accept whatever fines/charges I might get if I'm pulled. The cops round my area don't seem to care at all.

How's your wrap looking now? Are they still sticking?

Yep. Still as solid as when I put it on. Heating it in with a heat gun or hairdryer is key to making it last. Means there's no bubbles or loose edges that can peel.

It's like everything, take your time and it'll come out right.

That said, the wrap on the centre console, in the difficult corners of the air vents, that can come up slightly from time to time as its a high traffic area when the fans are on.

Hey mate! What new upgrades do you have on your car?

Try and get 3M if you can but Oracal Premium Wrap is also very good. That's what I've used on mine.
