Got round to doing a couple of more little bits to my car finally.

Irmscher door pins that I have wanted to do for ages:



And this one is a bodge atm to see if I like it - Will probably be sprayed properly in time for Trax Black 'V' Grille :















And then some pics with my mates Fiesta:









Will hopefully have a couple of other subtle bits done in time for Trax too

Grille is growing on me - Good old electrical tape - Bit different and far cheaper than the Irmscher one - Im hoping to spray it satin black before Trax.

Door pins were far easier than I expected them to be - simply prise red bit off, and black bit will slide off runner. Push new ones on and tighten grub screw - 10 minute job! G/F got them for me £19.95 posted on ebay

looks good mate. impressed how that sri exhaust looks when polished, irmy door pins are cool.

i think exclusiv alloys would suit rather than sri's, look more classy.

Nope SRi springs are already on, were meant to lower it -15mm but due to lighter engine and a different spring compression rate, it simply made the ride fimer

I want to lower it but I'm uber paranoid about the warranty etc and am not spending £200 on Irmscher springs! So lowering may wait.

Mav - I like the grille simply because its a bit different tbh

Fad - Kinda bored of people saying its standard It's not as standard as you think Maybe turning into an SRi replica slowly though - not a bad thing imo!

Scott - Yeh my mate with the Fez reckons Exclusiv wheels too - I like both though!!
