FAIL 
.. well i noticed a little slice in my gear gaitor. you could see it but i wanted it to be right. well i purchased one of the bay with red stitching. looked good but needed stretching an inch. a ball ache but i managed it. eventually got it fitted (while putting screwdriver through my hand) looked bang on. fitted it in the car today. too bloody tight. when i put it in reverse it pulls it out. so if any one knows of a decent gaitor, preferably with red stitching let us know.
a pic as it looked before fitting into the car..

You need a left hand drive fog reversing light (with red bulb) to even that back end up.

eventually re fitted my mirrors and carbon fiber covers, rear diffuser and rear wiper. I ended up purchasing two new mirrors so they looked the same. (my ocd took over lol) bought some new wax so decided to give the car a clean.
i only bonded the drivers side this morning. so ive covered it and wrapped it with rubber bands for a little longer.

Bought another new toy, Hopefully the last for a bit. A pumaspeed plenum, Not so keen on the others on the market and the Anembo ones a bit pricey.also freshened up the engine bay. the cars also had another clean and all the leathers waxed.
Not the best pics of the interior. Its a rare sight seeing my fronts as there normally covered up.
Roll on friday for the K Sports.

it wasnt too bad. the car was running rough on idle at first, i thought id messed the seals up. finally figured it out i needed an extra bolt lol. you use your originals so i mush have been missing one and it was sucking air through the bolt hole.
I took it off 3 times to find the problem so you can imagine the mood i was in. Other than that it was easy. ive got nothing in the way, my ecu is connected to the K&N box.

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Stunning car. I adore Focus ST's now ever since I went out in my friends st-2 with a load of mods. Before I wasn't a fan but now I need to own one haha. He booted it and it pinned me back in my seat while flying up the road. Doesn't the ST3 have the Sony sound system package? Any more plans?

Had the k sports fitted friday, taking them steady until ive bedded them in. still got a good bite and absolutely no squeal/noises what so ever, so thats a big bonus. They make the 19"s look small now.
