    ST/Zetec S spoiler was fitted yesterday and really sets the car off much better than the standard one. Only one stupid comment from the numpty across the road too 😩

Hardest one was the upper grill only cause the slots it has to help locate it were a bit too small but eased them apart and it went ok. Lower grill was simple click in as were the fogs. Prob 30min all fitted. 

Now to sell my Zetec S upper n lower grills lol.

But the there's no mini USB in the back of the headunit, the external one in the car is hard wired 😢 

So I've had to search the internet for a female mini USB to male USB, luckily I found one on Amazon prime so fingers crossed it'll all work 👍🏼 

liking the grills fella

My cunning plan worked 👍🏼

The silver is a different shade than the heated screen buttons but it's a million times neater than the poor job done previously 

Like what you've done so far :biggrin:

Has anyone fitted a stubby aerial to there focus? I was considering getting one but wondering how if any effect it had on radio reception? 

Ive often thought about it. Team torquesteer sell them for about £15. Read few reciews sayin that national statuons were ok but a fee local ones were hard to pick up. Not sure bout the DAB coverage through as when i do listen to the radio its only the DAB channels

I don't listen to the radio anyway, I prefer to listen to music via my phone

She's been lowered!!! 🎊🎉

My bro said the rear bolts were an absolute nightmare to undo.

Downside though the knocking sound I mentioned in another thread seems to be the tension mount on the engine not the exhaust 😩IMG_7683.thumb.JPG.67e6f0cf452d830f9de6573395aea347.JPG

Eibach springs?

Yes mate, I was thinking about a bigger drop maybe H&R, decided it might make the ride a little bumpy.

Looks wise I'm more than happy with the 30mm drop the eibachs have given me.

Tell me about it, it's added to the list 😉 

Those are none of my doing by the way 

Got my alloys  acid dipped n powder coated gun metal grey n so glad i did. Like new now..

I can imagine, how much did you pay? At the moment it's a toss up between sorting my alloys or getting a few bits like the RS grills and the clear fog light.

Went to AP Tyres in rotherham £54 a wheel finished in my choice of colour.. inc refittin tyres and re balancing.

looking good

I've been quoted pretty much the same plus they fit some alloys so you can still use your car

They do indeed. I wa drivin round on bright blue alloys for 10 days lol. But cant fault em. Remove tyres n mark em up so know what to refit. Acid dipped, shot blasted then powdercoated..

Oh right. Congrats 

Got round to fitting the filter today and fits fine and good job it did old 1 was filthy.

Clear rear fog light is a good mod and quite cheap to do even better if smoked
