I believe so. I was thinking that too. The s550 badges are more "stretched" - thinner font.

Correct..earlier badge and looks nicer i think... Had both but preferred these tbh..
Little details that counts..

The red dot also picks up on the red Brembo caliper logos.. Going to leave the front `pony` chrome for now i think, as replacing in black with lose its identity..

Other option would be Grabber Blue..Hmmm?

Then need to convince myself why i need one of these?...not cheap and dont do anything...but boy do they look good..:thumbsup::cool:

proper ford item?
vin cut out on the correct side ?

how much in the end did insurance just cover it for £50 excess or have you had to pay more due to its value. main reason I ask is I now have a stone chip which i don't like the look of

Yup... absolutely identical to the original.... Ford logo, vin window on drivers side, prepped for easy swap of mirror and rain sensor..

Auto glass fitter was spot on, ghee done one before, used string to cut out old screen, careful prep of new screen...

My excess is £75 quid:D

Just got to fit new dashcam now:). Took the chance to upgrade to the new Thinkware F800..:thumbsup::headbang::headbang:

Great stuff Andy. Unfortunately for me as Hinch says, I asked A-Plan and my insurer will only cover up to £500 :eek: As a result my car only goes out now in the wee small hours when no one's about!
Seriously though, i'm a bit nervous and will definitely be shopping around come renewal...in November :(

Any old shite.
Just got my front screen replaced today as well, very happy, OE screen installed well (I was there the full time) by autoglass. I paid £190 excess, can’t really complain at that.

I've spent the last two days resealing my headlights.

Drivers side was having issues, purely down to it being the "hot side" of the bay, under heat the sealant wasn't sufficient and began to open up, it would reseal when it cooled, but driving fast/track/etc the car gets VERY HOT turbo side - and hense, makes the sealant turn to crud.
Furthermore, my earlier gripe with the wiring coming out the back, we believe is the main cause - so the plastic mesh has been removed, a custom plastic sheet put in, and it's been sealed up with resin, the wires have also been covered in resin to stop water seaping in, and then will be shrink wrapped.

The lights have had all the sealant removed, annoyingly mine still had the stock sealant in. followed by hot glue, butyl tape, and silicone, giving it that ridiculous ugly beat of sealant over the top.

This has now ALL been removed; and resealed using [MENTION=28566]V8_MOTOR[/MENTION]s secret recipie.

v8 helped me through all this, so honestly, shout out to him, because he's a fucking wizard and a proper gent. Now, the question is; will it hold up to the test of time and stay sealed foreverand not condense; lets see - refitting tomorrow!

Today, was supposed to wash it, but my Karcher went bang and by the time I'd gone and got a new one it's far too hot outside to wash it.

So instead, having previously spotted the Double Race Read build thread by [MENTION=27640]bjstang[/MENTION], I then spotted the [MENTION=7411]Zombie[/MENTION] "Windshield Decals" so ordered a set in red (which [MENTION=7411]Zombie[/MENTION] was happy to post over to the UK). So I had a bash at fitting them.

I have to say I'm jolly pleased.

Please excuse the fact that Windscreen/Windshield (depending on your location/preference) is in desperate need of a clean (and the car looks terrible):

Chuffed to say the least. Makes the hidden :ford: logo stand out. A very subtle mod

Took her out for a drive in the sun, covered in dust off the roads now.
