Just springs mate 30mm bud

Do you have spring compressors? Or are you doing it the mighty car mods way and using cable ties?

No but al get some or ma mate should have some bud

I did a couple of my cars the old fashion way, push down on the strut spring top cap while a friend undoes the top nut. Just make sure your face is not directly over it incase it fires up! Refitting is fun too!:D

Looking good para, just need to loose an inch under those arches.

looking good.

like the look of the rear diffuser whats it from?

Nice car mate! Can't wait to see what the lowered springs look like. Let us know how the bluefin map works out too!

The Lester rear diffuser when I Google it it only shows a blue diffuser do they send you a primed one or can you select colours?

Also how difficult is it to fit?

Check Amazon it comes just as abs plastic need to get painted herself very easy to install mate

You have a couple options

Either 4 screws and that's it (there what I did)

Or tiger seal it in which would be better looking but again not as easy to take off

I had a lot of bad luck recently but things are now changing due to this .......

( went into a puddle on a blind hill and ripped ma rear diffuser off.......Then on same day a guy smacked ma wingmirror and messed it up and now someone has reversed into my front grill )

But again things are changing for the better now and a lot of stuff getting done to car so keep a eye out in this space

Is that just the 2 screws below the taillights and the two screws in the wheel arches? Sounds simple cheers mate

Unlucky with what's happened to your car as well looking forward to seeing what else you do with it

post-50202-0-50689600-1452250181_thumb.j

Well only had it on one day and it HAS CHANGED THE CAR! from ecoBOOST to ecoBEAST!
pull in all the gear range also scary as ive been used to old original map :)

What you do is plug it in it takes cars original map and uploads it to superchips and then they send you your custom remap for your car within 8hours mines turned up just under 1hour!

plugged it into he car and WOW! what a difference the thing pulls like a train! total game changer but i never lost loved for my fiesta this has made me love it a hell of a lot more!

I bought ST180 front discs pads cables and calipers :D its going on tuesday :)

Welcome to the Superchips Bluefin club - enjoy :)

good t hear your pleased with the bluefin

Nice car! The contrast of that blue and the black alloys looks great, much prefer this blue to the "Spirit Blue"
 

Where did you get your fogs from out of interest?
