Default James's Frozen White Mk7

Hi,

Thought I'd chuck my Mk7 Zetec S on here to see what people think, I know its not a restoration or anything massively out of the ordinary but its my office and I've done my best to make it stand out from the tonnes of Frozen white Mk7's that Ford churn out

When I got it...

This is how she stood over last winter...Performance Creations mudflaps, Milltek Cat-back and Eibach 15mm spacers all round...

Then I moved onto changing the wheels to Mondeo ST200s and lowered the car 20mm on Eibach springs...

More recently I have fitted 300mm brakes and a Steeda short shifter as well as a full Milltek decat system which all make a hell of a difference to the car as a whole!

Tomorrow the car will be going for a full service and back to winter mode with the standard 17inch Streetpack wheels being re fitted.

Thanks for looking

C&C welcome

James

They are indeed mondeo calipers and the original wheels are going back on on Friday...

This happened this morning as my other 2 Streetpacks are in for new tyres...all sealed and taped up

Alrighty then...7 hours later and the car is clean, clayed and waxed, glass polished and rain-x'd, interior cleaned, rear drums have another coat of hammerite on them, my streetpacks are back on, my wing mirror caps have been swapped back to white and finally the K&N is out and has been cleaned...I'm knackered!



Bit dirty...

Cheers matey!

On a side note I may be getting rid of the ST200s at some point as I'm fancying a change so if anyone is interested feel free to drop me a message

So yesterday I decided to tint my fogs using some Laminex I ordered a couple of weeks ago, really easy stuff to work with once you heat it up with a hairdryer so that you can stretch it. The biggest pain in the arse was getting the passenger fog light out due to the washer bottle taking up all of the room behind the light itself!

Out...

And I am aware they are illegal...oh well

Nice, who cares about legality! That only counts if your actually use the fogs
Just remove the lights altogether for mot then pop em back in.
