My brother said L1 is the code for spirit blue.

My brother said L1 is the code for spirit blue.

That's a rather short code :) thanks dude.

When Ford sent me off to try out the new ST they told me that the paint was a tricoat colour and is an absolute nightmare for body shops to paint. Haha

Hmm. It's definitely going to be a challenge!

There's a model code in front too on the cars but thats all he uses.

Well, i've had a nightmare tonight, just got in from doing some bits to the Fab. Finished work and got straight on it, thought I'd have enough time ... obviously not .

 

on top of that, i ran out of masking tape ... had to use parcel tape... and then it got dark half way through :(

Could be fun when you rip that parcel tape off mate!

well its been over a month since I last posted on here, not much has changed apart from the car is mapped now with the injectors and hybrid fitted, running 1.7 bar of boost, but now wanting a bigger turbo.

 

Fitted some 9J rear wheels :)

Car is looking great, I like the colour choice for the wheels and engine colour, certainly makes it stand out

Haha just seen the new wheel choice. I really like twists, always wanted a set on my own car but not a fan of running adapters or spacers

What width adapters are you running dude? Fabia is looking great!

Well, yesterday I fitted my new full stainless exhaust from the turbo back, with a decat and just one small siencer at the rear and it sounds LOVELY! Just how I like it. I'll post pictures soon as I also have a new rear bumper for it, which I sprayed last night and am just waiting to fit it tonight.

It's been a while since I posted, but not much has happened until now! :)

Kinda lost the love for the car but it's certainly coming back.

Make sure you get a video of the exhaust too! ;)

Pics of the bumper fitted after id painted it.

Really gutted that my tow bar doesn't fit over it so am going to have to work something else out for towing my boat!

Last night I completely stripped down some VRS seats and put the covers in the washing machine :)

They didn't come out like new but they look pretty damn clean seeing as they were almost black with dirt.

I put the rear covers all back on which is super fiddley as you have to use cable ties.

I'm not going to fit the fronts yet because I'm going to put the heated elements in from my elegance seats.

Going to be so pleased to be rid of the gastly seats that are in there at the moment (standard light grey with the little stick men!)

Spent the day yesterday making the VRS seats heated. Now got them fitted in the car and really happy with them. :)

Will post pics tonight, but they're just VRS seats that I've put the heating elements in :)

I picked up these wheels the other day and I've started to split them to paint the faces and polish the lips up!

Here's just a snap of what they are. All the bolts have been removed in this pic.

Here are some pics of the heating element swap. Nothing special

Once they were fitted, I took all of my old car stuff that was taking up too much room and threw it all away :)

I also painted my chrome grille in black magic. Looks lovely :)

Also went on a 500 mile trip and it didn't chip! Hooray.
