Well my side light bulbs where playing up and flashing like strobe lights. Only replacements I have that fit are blue. So I've had to bite the bullet and put them in temporary as it's safer than impersonating a police car lol. And even though they are temporary is it quite chavy to say I kinda like them like this :/

Ok not a big thing here but people keep telling me my rear number plate is wonkey. It's been like that for months but it's only recently I've had everyone on earth telling me it's wonkey. I did keep forgetting to get some double sided pads hence why I never got round to it. But the recent reminders have worked and I've finally sorted it... Much better. Also I applied the front one too which I never fittedid before because I used all the pads on the rear when I first fitted that. Think the front one looks well. Also big things. My wrap is booked. All will be revealed at my meet on the 15th may for the focus lot. But you lot will get to see it early . So keep your eyes for an update on the 7th may

And yeah it is buddy. There usually in the region of £40+ lol. Someone who bought a set accidently got 2. Ando was going to sell me a set for £10 but he forgot to take pics for me. A week later he apologised and said I'll just send them to you if you pay postage. Happy days lol. Hopefully the next mod will be happening soon. It will be a big change. Might not be to some people's taste but I love it

In talks of making a nice big change for FroSTy. I can mention it on here and not my focus st-on forum thread lol so you lot feel privileged. But she is going to have some vinyl. Nothing silly. No colour change. But something very suitable. A company is just mocking up a design that I asked for and it will be ready in about a week. Then if I like it will be going ahead with it. I'm not a massive fan of wrap but I need something for the car shows where she's going to be eye catching. And the design I have only one focus was running it but the car was sold and the new owner removed the wrap. It's the only wrap that's caught my eye and I will be the only one running it (that I know of). And don't worry it isn't no Ken block monster energy red bull malarkey lol.

Ok so here we go. Today's antics. Slam pannel cover changed. Wing rail covers added and also the engine bay dressing up bolts. All add a lovely touch. I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking Not bad eh Wing rail covers I had to tiger seal on as one screw wasn't enough to hold them in place. Couple more things needed for engine bay though. Headlight trim covers (between slam pannel cover and headlight), rs vac pipe, strut brace, oil cap, windscreen washer cap etc etc but all in time though.

A lad off Facebook. They are the same as rally flaps quality wise and glossy like them too but imo a more suitable size. I wasn't sure at first but they grew on me and I think the st-oc stickers help them out lovely. I got them off a lad on Facebook called Lee Vaughan Griffiths. £40 posted too so cheaper than rally flaps. I'd say the only problem with them is the screws are alloy. I need to get some black ones really just so they blend in better.

So the slam pannel cover is now in my hands. I've added a couple of stickers to it. Also bought some engine bay dressing up screws. And received my mud flaps. Been in 2 minds about flaps for ages but thought I may as well give them a try. Wasn't keen at first but they have grown on me. Especially when I added a sticker. Do think she suits them quite well tbh. Next update should be Sunday when I get that engine bay done.

Few more pics I've been sent of my cover now it's dried. Can see a bit of the blue pearl on this one... Think he's done a very good job. And all for the price of a few strongbow lol. I will have to get him to do same for my engine cover lol. Engine bay should have a nice few bits next week then. Should be a busy week on my thread :

Ok so here's some progress pics of the cmax slam pannel cover. I had a mate do it this time with a proper set up. I used rattle cans last time and although the job was fine, over time it has gone rough and bubbly like it wants to peel. Now my mated painted some 106 gti alloys in frozen white and he had some spare so I asked him if he fancied this job and he did. For a few cans of strongbow it's a very good cheap job lol. Anyways progress pics.... Also there's a sneaky bit of blue pearl in there if you can see it. I collect it on Monday and not seen it since it was in its packet so look forward to that. Also I've ordered some of the alloy engine bay dressing screws in blue. So will go in nicely with this

Been a bit quiet this month lol but I have ordered a couple of bits. Ordered some tinted climair wind deflectors, took a gamble with ordering some mud flaps (will see how they look but it's something I've changed my mind about severall times now so thought do it, no harm in trying) they are in gloss black so won't look stupid. Also I bought a cmax slam pannel cover and it's being painted as we speak. And it's not a rattle can job this time. Should look lovely when done I know the cmax one isn't needed for face-lift but my one will involve to much prep as it's quite rough in places now. So thought for £14 saves me time cutting the original and sanding etc. So by end of next week there should be a picture update
