Got the toffee/caramel wheel the other day and got rid of some of the black curse word, I will finish it off at the weekend when the weather hopefully gets better. You can see where the trim has been when close but I will go over it with some t-cut when I'm finished and it should help.

FINISHED! wow.. after hours of vibrations and being careful I'm left with aching and this!: There is a few little bits where it took part of the paint off but overall it looks so much better! I also took the back bumper off and gave underneath that and the reg plate a clean and polish: And it was so clean and shiny! this was inside the bumper..
And then I did the other side And that's where I got to today! all I need to do now is a bit of t-cut and polishing and it should go from this To this!

Yeah I have seen another guy on a forum at 50mm and it looked awesome so I will probably go with that. I am thinking about a respray but being 15 I really don't have the money yet so it will probably have to wait because me or dad are not the best with paint...

I am thinking about a respray but being 15 I really don't have the money yet so it will probably have to wait unless my dad gives me a nice chunk of money for Christmas because me or dad are not the best with paint... Ye when i get my coilovers ill be going 50mm on 7" wide 13s. My spray jobs only costing £500 as its from mate and i know that his works top notch so happy days really!

don't for get when you lower that muh you'll need an adjustable pandhard rod to re kenter the wheels heres a pik of mine slamed on leda's hoping to finish the wiring this week then kan start mapping it

Get some Xr2 shocks and some 50mm lowering springs. The springs are around £90 from the fiesta centre. You will also need an adjustable panhard rod otherwise it won't sit right.
Of course the best way is coilovers but these are around £500.

Hopefully going to get started with cleaning and spraying the wheels at the weekend as its the only major thing letting it down on the outside... just until I find some decent wheels (either the 4 spoke ones or some good old pepperpots) on ebay that are not 100 miles away!

Replaced the split track rod ends on both sides and sprayed the wheels... it looks so much better (just until I find a set of pepperpots or 4 spokes)
