Hey guys,

New member from Wickford, been in the Ford scene pretty much my whole life but decided to go against the trend and come to the "dark side" lol..

Bought myself a 1997 Catalunya Edition No.122, pretty much standard except later scooby wheels, think they are the blob eye ones, stickered up, induction kit, baileys DV and a Haywood and Scott system...

Goes nicley, and ticks all the boxes. Must say i am very impressed. Doesnt blow your head off yet, but its not running big bhp.. but love the feel and confidence the car induces when driving...



Few little pics i have..

Sorry they are mostly ****e as i only got it last week...




















Plans:

Im going to be removing the green stickers and replacing them with matt black ones, few bits of carbon fibre and some new satin black wheels, a huge detailing session all over to remove some swirls and blemishes, engine bay needs a right going over, will be buying new bottles, parts etc and hammeriting other bits.... and that will do me nicley for the time being.. going for a stealthy, night crawler..




Any help, advice, ideas you have would be great...

cheers

I would revert back to the standard bonnet vents personally.

Welcome fella.

Your tuning ethic is typical ford, new tanks, black rims and hammerite. Id lose the graphics alltogether, a wheel swap and a general tidy up under the bonnet.

Best of luck with it mate. Let us know if you need any advise

Cheers for the comments guys… yeh ive been into Fords from my dad and granddad since I was born… its quite a particular scene I must admit..

Yeh I love the stickered up look, just deciding what to go for, I definitely want stickers. Im having a play on photoshop and a few things to get an idea.

One of the best ones ive done has been completely black, with big fluro pink DCSHOECO stickers down the side/rear quarters and fluro pink wheels… kind of 6 spoke aggressive fitment wheels..

IMO looks the ****..

So might get those made up and see..

T0M HV

looks something like this.. but obviosuly on a black classic shape..

love the stickers and the wheels and this is what ill be aiming for exterior wise... including the sunstrip and small stickers around it..
