Looks good mate, great improvement. Check out ebay, you'd be amazed at the mesh you can get on there

 

Found the mesh just got to order it and then work out how to fit it!

Went up to the SES meet and had me dents sorted and got the wheels resprayed:

 

My front grill is slightly different, but the mesh is held on from behind with some tiny screws. All you'll need to do is add (or ideally make) washers with a hole small enough for the screw that are large enough not to fit through the mesh.

Wheels look good, time to paint the brakes behind them now. I went red to contrast with my white (and now kerbed thanks to the wife) wheels, but blue or black are subtle if that's what you want

 

Won't be painting the brakes as they will soon be Black APs on the front with a brembo conversion (will get them painted black) on the rear to follow.

Just booked into the bodyshop for Thursday next week! watch this space!

 

Are you having a full respray done? How much are you paying as I need to get mine blown over and some dings sorted out

 

Having both bumpers, bottom of doors and bonnet/boot done plus new grille, skirts, splitter and scoop.

Bonnet/boot are dented, boot badly - other panels are all in good condition as I had all the dents removed at the SES dents day.

Total cost £1800 inc. 2 year warranty and a car while they do the work!

 

I need a whole respray as I spotted some rust spots on the roof when I cleaned it at the weekend, and there's some annoying touch up paint on there too.

Dave at HT Auto's quoted me £1500 + vat for his wide arch kit fitted and painted a while back. I might see how much extra he want's to include a full respray and the blending of the rear arches

 

Rapidly gets expensive!

My BC coilovers are on order and the APs should arrive by the weekend!

I think that'll do it oh but what about the rear brakes?!

 

I'm looking at the ht widearch kit too, but i don't know yet!

I've got a nice re bumper spoiler for sale in the sales forum, would look good

Ricey

 

I looked at the HT Autos and the ABW kit and I just prefer the front wings on the HT Autos kit. One for next year me think, espcially as my year ends in 6 weeks time, and then I off to to explore the hotter and dustier parts of the world

 

I just want everything at once lol

The HT front wings are nice, but I think you need the rears too.

Changing the rear end too at the moment, but need to stop buying and fit what I;ve got sitting about lol

Ricey

 

The rears are pretty much the same on both kits, and I would do the lot, but it was the fronts that swung me to the HT Autos kit. I prefer the way they cut in at the bottom

 

OK - I'm driving a fiesta now, my cars just gone in to have all the goodies fitted and painted and also the boot and bonnet sorted. Just waiting for my APs, coilovers and mud flaps to arrive.

 

OK car should be back on Friday - Scoobyworld are doing their best to get the spoiler back to me by Saturday, so I should be at the brighton run on Sunday, hopefully with a spoiler!

 

Latest update quick pictures (phone quality sorry)


Just waiting for the repaired spoiler, AP 4 pots and BC coilovers to arrive and need to fit the carbon flaps then I'm done......... or am I?

 

You'll never be done mate. Looking good though

 

Flaps, ahoy!

 

Looking good

 

Pics from the ESC Brighton run, just needs the spoiler back and lowering!

 

OK getting there now, all I need is to fit the matching stainless mesh I've got to the grille and get the coilovers on.

 

a set of pff7s would look amazing

wiley

 

Let me guess you just happen to have a set for sale?!!!

I'm sticking with 17's as I want the car quite low on the coilovers and don't want to lose the extra give in the tyres

 

You can go quite low even with 18s. Mine has been dropped 50mm and not even a hint of catching with 8x18s on 235 rubber

 

Latest update, just cleaned the car as it's prom transport for a friends kid tomorrow. And I've got the coil-overs and the new mesh fitted so this is basically it for the styling changes now! All images are clickable thumbnails!!

 

Looking good mate, can't wait to get to see it in the flesh sometime
