nath.mk7.st Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Welcome. Right this is like a build thread but not as don't plan to build much at this stage. This is going to be my space to chat about my car and to post pics of it and the things that I have done/been with her. She is called Veronica, I bought her new after test driving one as was passing ford and I had to have one, and I'm happy everytime I get in her. So here is a few pics and things I have done so far. I'm Hardly the biggest modder but in my opinion even changing a bulb is a mod. But I wanted some space on here to chat about mine, others and even general chit chat. And to load all my pics too :) This was day one :) and my old banger. Then it was new mats. Then I signed up to here and got the 2bhp sticker in :) Then I had a pre ford fair detail :) Then I had bit of break and changed all the bulbs de-tango etc. Don't have any pics of these but we all know what they look like haha. Then today's mod witch prompted me to start this was the front splitter. And the next plan is to get my plastics painting piano black inc the little black bits in wheel arches and the strips on roof. Then I'm done for looks and it will be mountuned. But this all had to be put on hold as we fly to America soon for few weeks and need the cash :( Comments much appreciated and apologises for the bad spelling and punctuation I never was the best at school ;) Edit anyone want to meet up or organise and Yorkshire meets with me pm me I'm hull area.

Phil 87 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I've already seen most of the pics but it looks great, especially with the splitter :) I don't plan on changing anything visually except for bulbs on mine for now, so I don't really need a build thread lol. I love the name Veronica too, even if it was a mistake. I'm struggling to think of a name for mine, never named a car before. Cool name mate, mines called sonic! That's a great name for a blue ST. I know most men give their car a woman's name, but Sonic works because it doesn't seem like a feminine car lol. I guess that's not the point though.

nath.mk7.st Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Cheers guys yer I'm real happy with the splitter. I'm like you phill don't like to visually change things but since owning this I've started playing cause I know I will be keeping the car for a long time. But I do have a limit I want it to look nice and not Chavy/tacky I want everything to look like it was done in factory as extras :) only other exterior mod think I'm doing is the plastics all painted the correct colour.

Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC I agree with this completely, I hate seeing cars that look like they crashed into Halfords and come out the other side, small changes such as plastics gloss black look great and look standard, and the front splitter , not drastic just a nice touch to the front, drastic changes such as lowering 50mm springs so the car barely gets over speed bumps ruin the look for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a golf gti near my house that's been lowered on airbag suspension to the floor and has merc sls alloys cambered. Now the alloys look really nice but I wouldn't put them on my fez or any other car unless I had a sls but then it would of come with them !

ayrshiredude Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I never quite see the point of lowering a car so it scraped over every speed bump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should come round and see my st- it's white! lol Nice looking fez so far, amazing how she looks after a good detail... did you manage to get the plastics done in the end? I really want to do mine as it will make the white look really smart IMO but i'll get crucified if I spend my work bonus on that instead of taking the mrs on holiday! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
