kyle_saloontdci Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Yeah they are a straight swap, all focus seats are interchangeable they obviously came out of a hatch and mines a saloon and mine fitted into the hatch it's quite a simple swap. I've seen these cloth recaros go for £100 when they need a clean but I'd expect to pay £150-200 for a decent set. I really wanted the leather recaros but they start from £400 and I'd of never paid it. Probably my favourite mod I've done to it feels like a different car sitting in those seats and makes it look loads better. The wife took it out shopping earlier and she came back saying how nice they are, she loved the leather recaros we had in our old mondeo st200 too.

kyle_saloontdci Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Sold my fabia vrs a few weeks ago and bought the wife a facelift cmax titanium in black. Really nice but the wheels let it down as they needed a refurb so I bought a set of st wheels with good tyres that needed a refurb and decided to put my wheels on hers and I'd have the st wheels. This is how I got them [emoji51] Sanded and primed Sprayed in anthracite All done and lacquered with new centre caps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle_saloontdci Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 So I put new valves in and blew them up and balanced them etc. Put them on my car and my titanium x wheels onto the cmax and wasn't keen [emoji22][emoji22] it looked so much better on the titanium wheels I think these age it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle_saloontdci Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Had these on a week and they didn't grow on me so I found a set of bare titanium x wheels about a hour away that were in pretty good nick but they were more black so I went and picked them up and gave them a quick colour change to anthracite. They haven't got the diamond cut bit that my old wheels had but they will look better than the st wheels!! How I got them Done in anthracite, I also sorted the centre caps so the nut bit is chrome as it's meant to be Ordered 4 brand new tyres and stubby valves Went to my mates garage and fitted the tyres and balanced them all then got them on the car, looks loads better than the st wheels I'm glad I went and got these. Slightly darker than my original ones and hasn't got the diamond cut rim but I think they look just as good. Also put some universal 5mm spacers on the rear I had lying about. And one of the cmax with matching wheels, really needs a wash as the wheels looks dull from when I took them off mine filthy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpg Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 How can you tell if one of your coils is 'dead'? Can it be done on the front coils? Any mot implications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
