Yea piece of cake to do yourself mate, a lot of people get someone else to do it but you can't mess it up. I wrote a quick basic guide a few pages back in this thread :smile:

Sweet! Where did you buy yours from (If you can remember) as you said it only cost £3, cheapest I can find is one for £5 on DMB:

Car looks incredible! Love what you have done with it! Just purchased a 16 plate Zetec S 140 in deep impact blue, what would your reccomendations be on cosmetic improvements?

Thanks man! I'd get the wheels sprayed up and lower it, ST diffuser at the back and tinted windows if you haven't already got them.

Took me a while to go through all 11 pages (the pictures don't seem to work on the early pages anymore) but I love what you've done with it pal, it looks sooo gooood. . I'm on the verge of getting a 2015 Zetec S Red Edition and look to modify it as and when I can (I am a complete novice when it comes to doing any of this so reading this thread and others has shown that it's not all that difficult with the right tools / people / services etc). . I'm also in Sussex so I may bother you a few times to find out where you got things / had them fitted / let me steal your ford friend to do everything for me \o/

Haven't done much to the car recently other than a private reg and short plates. But it will probably stay like that as I'm not spending any more money on it now, other than the cheapy mod here and there.

Few photos that I've collected over the past few months:

Been a while since I've done anything to the car, took the wind deflectors off as I don't think it suited the car anymore.

Will probably be selling in April/May time so may start slowing advertising some parts soon.

Any ideas on what will be replacing it yet?

An ST? 😉
