I'd be keen to get some, and that door lock cover is pretty slick looking, where is that from?

doggsbody Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 @Mike2017 only the jealous wouldn't like it mate, personally I wouldn't go any lower due the work you've put in to it n like l said there are some aggressive speed bumps so risking ripping the the front end off for a bit of low'ness isn't worth it if rather keep it as it is 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doggsbody Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 That's how it should be @Mike2017 always keep it under your hat that way if someone is copying what you do else where n they make it out like they thought of it n have it done before you they it looks like you're copying them, that way if someone sees your work n there's it'll be like well this person has earlier posts so they obviously didn't think of it themselves n that's when it gets hilarious 😂 n there proven wrong 👍 luckily for me nobody else has a mk6 with the same stuff apart from the Mondeo alloys so they can't copy mine 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the splitter is from an ST, I’ve damaged mine though so just ordered another. I love the van, had a old connect couple of years ago and this one epic compared to that. Atho now I've started modifying it i sort of wish I went 1.0 ecoboost now as not alot of power gains with the diesel. Ah cool I need to look at getting a splitter then. This is it now, looking dirty tho. Running fiesta springs 35/50mm Atho I need to change rears to 35mm now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nice to see other Courier vans being done now I have to put some weight in van from time to time and I find it sits a bit low. That pic with van empty. Ive used fiesta springs and dont think they can take the weight like the stock ones as the coils are a bit thinner. That said l like the low look, ride a bit choppy now tho. But I can live with that. Im looking to remove the roof bars and fit spoiler or make spoiler fit should I say as can' find one for a courior. Would like twin tail pipes aswell.

I agree, the ride is somewhat harsh on mine now 😂 to be expected and live with it fine. The rear arches on these are lower than the fronts, so looks like the rear sits lower than the front, but mines perfectly level when sat on level ground, kind of like the old Nova’s used to be when they were lowered. tailpipes are are must! And something that will be getting done in the near future, as time goes on more will become available for this van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May lower the front a bit more if I don' have any issues in work with this hight. I'm going to look into doing it shortly. Need to find some nice tips and design the pipes round the spare wheel. Long term plan maybe in a year or two would be put a st engine in it. It only done 8k atm so cant' justify it just yet. Will wait for sts to come down in price a bit first and find a whole car to do swap. Can use all the running gear then. Id like 200bhp+ ideally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zain611 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hey @Mike2017 where did you get the 3d gel raised plates? Was looking at one ad on eBay which do them for around £30. I like the 3d gel design where the edges of the letters and numbers lift up such as yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
