DrewP Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hello Thought I would pop up my new (ish) car, It is the newest car I have ever owned and cost me most of my savings, but I love it, I have come from a Vauxhall world, this was my last car and even though the Vectra was a really good car, the focus it just a better fit and finish, so hear is the start of my story, first pictures of the beast, Only had the car a week and there was water in the spare wheel well, after a lot of trips to ford with no luck, I came across WES's thread and I did the fix and so far it has work, it's dry, just wet insulation in the boot I need to dry out and then fingers crossed its sorted. All put back together but only time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewP Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Some better photo's I'm not keen on the alloys, would much rather have the standard alloy's in black, or even ST alloys, just going to do little things for the time being.

DrewP Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Just a little detail work, some new front and rear plates because they where cracked and rusty, chrome indicator bulbs, also removed the rear badges, with I think gives it a cleaner look and did some clay baring on the boot, its all coming along nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewP Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Not been up to much really, just keeping going with the detailing, but did get myself some roof bars and a box which I painted in frozen white, quite chuffed with my self. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomson Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Very nice car mate! Came from the Vauxhall world myself - lovely Vec you had there; they do finish off nicely with the XP kit and Snowflakes! the top box looks brill in the same colour - Mrs wants me to start looking into top boxes so may end up doing similar! Top work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Looking nice but those indicators look blue to me? Are they silvatechs as usually you can't really see the bulbs themselves.Better than fried eggs though!Roof box looks top notch! Sprayed?Also, is yours a zetec s? I'd like the spoiler you have but though that was an st one...Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top work! Thanks, It's most brand of car I've ever had, but then had a change to the ford's, This is other Vectra I had before the XP. Untitled by Andrew Picken, on Flickr I think the box in white just sets it of from every other grey box on the road.

I don't want them to look chavish, yes it's a Zetec S 1.6 Ecoboost, one owner before me, I want to change the alloys but not sure what to? any suggestions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
