Well, the exhaust is a no-go. Too bloody long, and I'm not fiddling to sort it. No doubt I can sell it for more than I paid

I think once I've got a couple of orders sorted (those pesky customers) I shall spend a weekend doing some bits and bobs. It might end up a little less subtle than originally planned...

300 miles to a half tank? My daily driver Mondeo gets not much more on a full tank. The Audi and RS don't get close to that

Funny how these cars always end up becoming a project lol

Drove the Mondeo to Suffolk and back on Saturday. Set the cruise to a GPS 70mph and all we saw was 29mpg.

Only had it a week and for a smoker already found myself adding footwell lights and swapping the cd player for the Sony 6 disc from the Ghia/Titanium X model.

good thing about them wheels is the offset is less than focus wheels so makes them sit further out filling the arch more

Yes, I think they'll sit almost flush. And lower tyre profile so I should feel a bit less wobbly.

I prefer it stiffer.......

But in l honesty not a lot. But that's more to do with the spax than the drop. Its fine aside big bumps or holes but what cars good with those anyway really
