Mike2017 Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Sorry I haven’t been on in a while and I see some of you have commented with questions so I’ll answer those in a sec 🙂 The van is ready to hit the bodyshop on Monday, so excited to finally see it all colour coded 🤗🤗 gave it a clean today as I think it must help them work on a clean vehicle rather than a filthy one, stripped all the rear out to enable them to access the clips that hold the side mouldings on. The vans been in the wars abit 🙄 I guess it’s the nature of running it everyday as my work horse, lightly scuffed both nearside alloys and damaged my front splitter 🙄 alloys getting refurbed once it’s out the bodyshop and new front splitter just ordered 👍 Cleaned today: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a 2017 courior sport myself and have just bought wheels and springs for it. Didn' think 18s would work so went 17s but 18s look good on yours. I like the splitter, is that a good fit being from a fiesta? Hi, thank you very much 🙂 How are you enjoying the van? Yes the splitter is from an ST, I’ve damaged mine though so just ordered another.

Im interested to see what it will look like, been following it's progression for a while, nice work, I loved the halo Fog/DRL you fitted. Hi mate, the van goes in on Monday for the colour coding to be done, thank you for following the vans progress 🙂 thanks, again it’s something you don’t see much of so wanted to have them fitted to set the van apart from others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, it will be with the bodyshop until next Friday, my new splitter won’t arrive until after I collect the van so I’ll fit that once it’s home, and the wheels will be refreshed the month after 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike2017 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Ok so here it is, I hope you like as much as I do 🙂 So whats been done: • Full front bumper painted • Full rear bumper painted • Side mouldings painted • both wing mirrors painted with gloss black surrounds • Rear number plate light holders painted • Sliding door rail cap painted • Rear bumper protector fitted • Brand new front lower splitter fitted (different design to last one) • Driver door lock cover fitted • New raised gel and tinted number plates (front not fitted yet in photos) Take a look 🤗 Number plate light surrounds colour coded Sliding door rail end cap colour coded Gel and tinted number plates Gloss black wing mirror surrounds Gloss black wing mirror surrounds Rear bumper lip protector fitted, this is a must as the fresh paint will just get battered otherwise, it is a work horse after all Gloss black lower splitter fitted Driver door lock cover fitted I hope you all like what you see, I will get much better photos in a better spot ASAP. So what’s next?? I’m taking the front end down lower 🤭 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zain611 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Looks good 👍. The rear bumper looks a lot better with it painted. I'm starting to wonder also on getting pressed plates. Later I'm thinking on getting the door strips, mirror covers and door handles colour coded. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonro2009 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Awesome van! Where did your plates come from? I'd be keen to get some, and that door lock cover is pretty slick looking, where is that from?
