Should be fine if i go down this route... I'm already all show and no go, based on the Chinese stick-on tat already on my car.

Right... after lots of soul searching, i've bought the above wheels from Craig... should be collecting them this weekend!



Yours looks like such a beast. The front splitter makes such a difference, whats it called?

I've always admired it since i first saw the below pic:

Are those Rays wheels in the photos above?

 

[marzman]

Yeah, they look like TE37's to me...

I picked up my new wheels on Friday, and fitted them first thing Saturday morning in the wind and rain... Sorry for not having any better pics but i was soaked and miserable by the time i'd finished.

[marzman]

Thanks, i'm delighted with them.

Following Benno's recommendation i picked up the Maxton front splitter this week, and fitted yesterday, followed by a good detail today.

Next on the list is a black pony for the front, and then decide what to do about a bonnet change. (Anyone got any figures on what they paid to paint a bonnet?)

Very nice

Please could I ask how you have mounted your front plate ?

Cheers.

Mine is a motorised license plate holder which i've had on previous cars. It's not wired up anymore, but when it is it retracts the plate under the car via a keyfob remote.

Alternatively the Sto & Sho is a good alternative:

The wheels look great.

the black pony badge you can get from Ford it’s only about £35.
There’s the part number in my thread some where

Pony badge is cheaper than that from ford - I can dig out my invoice and part number if required

If you take the grill off to do it (rather than break off / bond on) you can get replacement stainless spring washers from eBay :

Cheers guys... the only black pony badges i could find online were all circa £60 which seemed a bit rich. So i'll check out Ford if its circa £35 Craig, but WD, where did you get yours from if cheaper than £35?

 

[WD Pro]

I paid £46.72 for the black pony AND 2 x 5.0 badges all in direct from my Ford dealer

I can get you part numbers from my invoice if you like ?
