Cheers mate, the induction is really nice. Puts such a smile on your face when it crosses over. Has a bit of rasp now due to the new b-pipe so sounds better and still looks OEM. Ill be replacing the muffler at some point in the near future though.
Wheels will be booked in for powdercoating hopefully sometime very shortly. Need to phone up and see how busy they are.

[UPDATE]
Bought some new plates to replace the "shake and bake" ones that came on the car when i bought it
Fitted
I also bought some wind deflectors (these came in a huge box)
Fitted
I finally got chance to go to Romax to ask about getting the wheels refurbed and powdercoated. They didnt have the colour i was looking for so me and Pete/Ped decided that we would go to a bodyshop and ask for a quote............£400+ excluding vat.
Pete said we could spray them ourselves and save a small fortune. After some umming and ahring i decided to go for it (if it went balls up id just pay for them to be done at a later date)
After a trip to Halfrauds we came back with a tin of Ford Tibetan Gold (from a capri i think).
Started by checking the colour on a centre cap
We liked so cracked on with some prep work and first wheel in primer
Action shot
First few sprays of bronze
After deciding that we loved the colour we needed to make a trip back to Halfords for more supplies
With my wheel still drying i had to use one of petes
Pete wanted some pictures
Anyway, more paint
Our two man spray shop
First wheel done
Centre Caps
Me crawling underneath to top up the underside
Some arty shots
Final Coat
Finished results
Car has just gone into body shop today for the rear bumper to be resprayed
Will update once i get it back
C&C welcome

Thanks buddy,
Been looking at finishing the exhaust off but think its going to be a little loud using the unsilenced supersprint i have on at the moment. Sent for a price for spoon bpipe and N1.
So thats on the cards
So many plans, but compared to the fiesta i used to own, modifying japs is doubled up and more on some items (£££). Ah well.

[UPDATES]
Spoon N1 fitted this morning. So went over to hear it and give him a hand changing his oil. And in return he helped me replace a pulley of mine.
The N1!
So chrome it was tricky to shoot lol.
Went for a drive and seen this parked up
Guessing its a replica but its looking good
Found a nice spot for some pictures
Thats the lot
Exhaust sounds great, but from videos ive seen (raspy) mine doesnt sound raspy at all.......seems to be a deep tone (unless it needs coking up and a few hundred miles on it?)

Cheers, I made a thread in the exhaust section (basically a deep tone and thought spoon was raspy?)
