unfortunately the new screen wont arrive 'til Tuesday - thankfully not needed (so no wipers or washers too)

had to fit new rear offside calliper today as found handbrake not working.

Does sit nicely on 17s

I do have 15s to try too

Oooooh! Now that looks really nice Mick.cool
The colour looks even better out in the daylight.

Good luck with the MOT today smile

PS Your boot lid is open. ( Or the rear spoiler is partially deployed? )

Edit: And it may need some number plates for the MOT wink

yeah ...... not so sure about the 15s now, but will try them on. I have a feeling that they rob ground clearance depending on tyre size.

Good luck thumbup She's looking very nice. The wheels look "right" and the re-positioned indicators, Fiesta (yes?) door mirrors and air scoop all look in proportion. Nice colour too.

What door mirrors have you fitted? I am liking the repeater indicators as well as the general shape.

these are Fiesta mk8 but if I were to do it again I would probably use Audi A1 or similar. Mind you the Fiesta ones are cheap

Nice one Mick thumbup

One of our club members, Simon, had the noisy release bearing issue after his Cossie instal for sprinting, but it settled in after a little bit of use and now seems ok.

Good news Mick - have you had a chance for a blast yet or are you taking it a bit easy with the dodgy servo?

Taxed it tonight

unfortunately found out today that they broke my new windscreen in transit so now have to make another

Due next Thursday......it is cutting it a bit tight to get some miles in before Spa

New Racedlogic Tacho fitted and set up

New programmable speedo in the process of being wired up (half done) (and I think I've found a measured mile to set it up)

The to do list of 21 items is now 17

Will need a hand / info on re-assembling the rood parts - I'll have to do a trial fit to see if it has shrunk while off the car.
