Pheww thank goodness for that lol. Yeah that will look great, nice work on the mods too turning into quite the car.

Cheers pal. Planning on blowing out and getting all the under bonnet parts over the next week. Have an annoying flapping type noise I've noticed from the induction kit was fitted so need to figure out what that is to.

 

[gsmith]

So finally got the splitter on tonight.

 

[mr_s81]

Yes! Splitter looks the part!

 

[gsmith]

Thanks pal. Hoping to get the carbon mirrors fitted over the weekend. Still need to get my stencil sprayed onto the inter cooler.

 

[Triumph Fan]

Splitter does set it off. I wouldn't bother spraying the stencil on to the inter cooler. Looks class the way it is. It looks more purposeful than standard without being garish or OTT.

 

[gsmith]

Cheers @Bladefan thinking about starting into the engine bay next but not sure if I want to throw anymore money at it.

 

[Gambit]

Looks the part with the splitter Stencil on intercooler would cheapen it imo

 

[gsmith]

So finally got the passenger glass changed today wasn't the hardest job but glad it's done. Glass was ordered on the chassis so all etchings/numbers are correct. Have decided against the intercooler stencil think the front looks sharp as it is without anything else. ordered my anembo billet engine plate and planning to paint the engine cover as it's a bit tired looking and hopefully have my side stripes fitted soon.

 

[gsmith]

So my satin black engine bay caps came the power steering one isn't there so hoping they'll get it posted this week. It's going to get the recirc fitted on Monday. Also have my genuine carbon fusebox battery cover and header tank cover ordered.

Where did you get the caps ? Do they do other cars and colours ?

All ford stuff only @CharlySkunkWeed could always email go onto there site autospecilists I hate going on for they've always got new stuff added on.

 

[CharlySkunkWeed]

Will have a nosey

 

[gsmith]

Even send them an email Adam. For they may know someone who could sort you with the caps if they don't have them. Very good place to deal with.

Will keep it in mind , cheers.

 

[ABishop]

Few parts arrived today.
Frozen white inlet
White coolant hoses
Turbosmart 50/50 recirc.

Tempted by a turbosmart dual port @gsmith. Where did you get yours?

 

[gsmith]

@ABishop its getting fitted on Monday so will let you know what I think of it then. But for buying I went with bd performance. Quick delivery and at the time had it on sale at I think was about £130.

 

[ABishop]

Checked them out there. 11.99 for delivery is crazy though. I don't understand why if Royal Mail don't discriminate about us not being mainland all others do. Might call Pumaspeed in the morning. Might change the intercooler also so might be able to strike a deal.

 

[gsmith]

Yup delivery is a joke from the mainland. Another place to try is autospecilists and use the discount would make it a good buy then. Max fitted the stripes this evening there gunmetal look black in the photos. Always prefer these with stripes and looks great in the light to match the wheels.

 

[ABishop]

Your car looks amazing mate! I know what you mean about the light. Get a few taken tomorrow during the day.

Thanks again for info on the gel badges. Arrived the other day and they are class.

Any advice on fitting to help last longer term?

 

[gsmith]

Cheers pal. Will get better photos tomorrow there gunmetal and really work with the colour of the wheels and will tie in with the carbon mirrors. Overlays from where I told you to go should last a long time no harm in putting a drop of wax over them as I do mine every time I clean it. Last set I had on my other st lasted 3 years and could still be there.

 

[gsmith]

So my anembo billet plate arrived this morning. Hope it'll look OK with the rest of the parts. Recirc is getting fitted on Monday. Anyone recommend someone who can paint my engine and timing belt cover there plastic never been dressed or anything so no silicone has ever been near them want them painted gloss black.

 

[gsmith]

Got the turbosmart recirc fitted today and I love it. the whole way home I was like
Lol. Glad I didn't attempt the recirc as it sounded a proper ball ache. Few more bits on route for It and hoping to fit my inlet this weekend.

 

[ABishop]

Any videos / sound bites? I ordered one also! Got a deal on a section 59, AS plenum and a Turbosmart dual port that I couldn't turn down lol

 

[gsmith]

Nice order. Lol. No videos will try and get one for you. Not sure if it needs adjusting need to get it another drive and make sure all good plenty of noise from it though. Lol.
