Few new pics of my car as I have now done a couple more subtle mods - more are on their way at the end of this month when I get paid again too

These were taken a couple of weeks back by my mate experimenting with various modes and shutter speeds on his new camera, so they aren't the best pics, but they are experimenting with different lighting etc for a bit of interest


Finally got round to debadging the boot:



Spraying the V Grille Satin Black (bye bye electrical tape!!):



And Getting My Coil Pack Cover Colour Coded for a bit of interest:





And a couple of pretty ones outside :





Got a few more plans up my sleeve - given a bit of a list to my mate who sprayed my coil pack cover, and have spied a few things on various sites that Im after. Also currently in the process of wiring up some component speakers, and will look at investing in a sub and amp soon

Thanks for looking

Its ultra blue which means for the next 5 months or so during winter it will be a very boring dark blue but in the sun it shines a really nice metallic Last 2 pics capture it really well!

Cheers

Really want an SRi rear spoiler etc too, but cant really afford it atm, so will wait for a bit and get a few smaller bits in the mean time

Andybody got any ideas for it? I know roughly what I want, but Im interested to see what other people think!

Yup, but every single person seems to get 1! So I decided until I give in and but 1 too, I would be a bit different and spray my one black

You reckon? Was actually planning to get 1 at the end of the month! Cheap way of "lowering" it etc!! Also for the sake of £16 I think I'll give it a bash anyway

Marc - Sri or Exclusiv alloys are my main aim, although I'd quite like a set of Pro Race 2 in black

Don't get standard alloys, the SRi wheels look nice, but i never found they sat right in the arches, and always looked a little too small... even my 17"s still do at times .

Keep your eyes peeled on eBay as they sell the irmscher lower front splitters cheap in fibreglass. If your keeping the bumper, get the SRi lower grille to match.

A bit of paint on the bumper and side rub strips would be good . Maybe take the SXi badges off too?

Going in the right direction anyway, and the few touches so far are looking good

Thanks for the comments guys

RS6/James: Thanks buddy Wheels will wait for a bit yet tho

Rob H - The black bits are deffo staying black as they break it all up a bit and seeing as I'm goin for a black and blue theme it kinda makes sense When they start goin grey tho, they will be sprayed black. SXi badges are also staying for 2 reasons - 1) To prove its not a poverty spec model and 2) Because I've had them off before and it didnt look right! I have customised them though!

LAMMI3: Encore?! Theres a Mk3.5 and a MK4 Fiesta in some of the pics - 2 of my mates

Tom - Not sure about the standard SXi wheels going anthra on my car - not sure

Next thing i would do to it is lower it and get the plastic trim on the outside all colour coded.

In the post above your's:

"The black bits are deffo staying black"

Basically want to keep it black as it will keep in with my black and blue theme - when they start to get grey, I will have them sprayed black.

Lowering is on the agenda - front imo sits alright, its the rear though Is already on SRi springs, but due to spring compression rate etc etc, it didnt lower it, just made it a stiffer ride
