painted my fiesta st sideskirts that have been sitting around for a while.
came up really good IMO and matches the colour perfectly. :thumbsup:
also just ordered upgraded headlight, sidelight and fog light bulbs to get rid of the horrible yellowly light they emit and a leather gear gaitor :thumbsup:
left to do:
-lower 45mm on spax springs.
-astra rear wiper.
-rear lower valance for the fiesta st to accomodate an exhaust tip.
-a nice 3.5'' rolled outward exhaust.
-rs7 spoke wheels if i can find any.
will look like this once finished or near enough:

i upgraded my headlight, sidelight and fog light bulbs which now give off bright white light with a tint of blue but can't get any decent pics of them yet
saving up now for wheels + lowering

well i got the key mark blown over by essex smart repairs for £80 and he did a great job, also got some french plates
had to get a new front drivers shock as it was bent after hitting a curb and then re-align the wheels so that was £140 wasted.
hopefully get my eibach springs in a week
