From a tip from my friend i decided to strip off the rear bumper and sand down and paint/protect the arch. as always i cleaned everything else aswell.
luckily mine had very minor surface but i got the dremel out and sanded right back. added rust protection, primer then paint. then eventually a thin tape and lods of wax.

























Also re glossed my carbon mirrors. had a nightmare as it reacted the first time then i dropped one while wet.







Sneaky shot from the mot garage. past with flying colours so all good for another year. also renewed my membership on here too.

Quick update.Ive fitted new led fog lights, the latest model (which is supposedly not meant to let mist or let water in) we shall see.
Ive changed the the esp and hazard buttons for new ones as the old ones had seen better days.
I also purchased a new window rubber as mine was a little out of shape and i want it to be bang on.
Purchased new mud flaps ready to cut to shape but the weather hasn't been the best so they can wait.

Last thing was i spent a good day on cleaning the exterior. and a quick interior clean.

some of the product used









you can see the rubber im replacing on this pic







the diffuser is off at the min having a respray. the paint keeps reacting so ill prob purchase a new style on over xmas.







the wheels need a refurb, its still on the list to do but these also have been waxed and sealed.



i try keeping the bay as clean as possible







before pics. the esp one was actually new but the heat over summer made it do this.





New





The carbon dash also had the wax and sealant treatment









and then the fogs. i added some more seal to help protect then. passenger side took 5 min. drivers about 30min. pain in thde ass lol



compare pic

Such a nice example, some real hard work gone in to that motor

I wonder what it would look like with a bigger rear spoiler? Not that it doesn't look meaty already..

djryan25

due to all the washing ive ended up with a low speed squeal. so today i stripped down the breakes and cleaned and re copper greased them. all ok now. and sill alive after a test drive lol

djryan25

you can buy a lip to add to the spoiler. but id want it in carbon or flushed into the spoiler. other than that its an rs spoiler. not keen tho as its not an rs . you need the wide arches to go with it

The copper grease has magnetic particles in it and can interfere with abs. Silicone grease is whats recommended.

djryan25

its only on the shims and was on the first time when fitted. im sure i read not to use silicone. maybe wrong. done now seem fine. wont be long till there off again lol ill try silicone if its better. cheers for the info

djryan25

Few things done. Stripped down my boot struts and repainted them as they had seen better days. Then realised how much they were so ordered a brand new set. Then added a little something to them.



Then I've done a little dash mod to add to my red stitching theme. Looks a lot better in person. Also looks a lot easier to fit then it was

these cars are very underated and way more of a drivers car than the RS

djryan25

Cheers.
And yeah it's nice to drive. Alot of my mates own a rs and they agree. Can't be the presence of an rs tho lol. Look well on the road.

djryan25

Car mats ordered. Not the cheapest but u can agree there excellent quality. This is a pic of the sample they sent me of my order to check I was happy. Plus all paper cut outs to check they all fitted correctly





Few other goodies too

djryan25

djryan25

Not done much with doing wheel but I've managed to fit the rear recaro decals. Finishes them off I think.

djryan25

djryan25

even tho the wheels looked good. i wasnt 100% happy so ive ended up doing them gloss black now, and purchased some new gel badges

sridgett

Cracking motor mate. Not been on here for a bit, how you been???

djryan25

been good pal. hows you

djryan25

went for a meet at a local fordrst members house. a mate was having a wrapped roof so thought id have a sun visor added. i think it looks better to be honest as i wasnt sure at first. just a few latest pics.

djryan25

last clean and added paint protection before the bad weather hits.
also added recaro decals to the seat bases.
all wheel now done and fitted with new center caps and badges
cars now in garage covered up and will come out maybe once a week till weather changes.

sridgett

Yeah not bad cheers mate. Been cracking on with the car I see, weather hasn't been good enough to work on mine.

djryan25

Yeah pal. Been off work with weather. Only so much you can do in the house lol. So tried getting a few jobs done on the car. Got a few custom jobs coming up. Just waiting for the bits to arrive and try and get it together. It sounds good in my head but making it work is another matter lol. So keep an eye out

mikej857

Attention to detail is astounding Dave, car is a credit to the time and effort you've put into it

I do miss my ST when I see yours

djryan25

Cheers pal. Who's Dave lol. I'm ryan. Thanx for nice comment

sridgett

What is your job then mate? Wish I could get days off work lol. Yeah that's very true. Plus it's so boring being stuck in doors??!! Ohh sounds interesting mate I shall defo keep my eye open

djryan25

I'm a bricklayer. And dj pal. Self employed bricklayer so I don't get paid for days off. Bit crap this time of year.

sridgett

Ahh cool. I had a go at that when I was in college, not as easy as it looks. Yeah tell me. I'd rather it cold but dry, at lest you can get out then.

djryan25

Ordered a few custom bit for the car bit haven't turned up yet so I decided to strip and re paint my black bits. Cleaned engine bay. Took lights out to clean and cleaned and re oiled my k&n. I want a new one bit the codes don't seem to match anything. So I'll have to take it back out and measure it and match it up on there site. Also re painted my diffuser to to clean it up.

djryan25

another couple of mods done. hated the look of the of the scuttle clips so decided to cut it all up and add a rubber trim to neaten it up. also why ford dont supply covers for the seat hinges but i managed to get some. second hand so a little faded so gonna either spray or wrap. not decided yet.








seat covers

djryan25

well seeing as a lot of people are jumping on the bandwagon with wrapping there intakes i thought id change mine slightly. so ive added a silicone piece and wrapped right up to the maff. (i don't like the colour) i ordered grey. it looked grey in the packet. but id ripped all mine of then realised it not. but it can stay for now as i may get a rs cais. also added black jubilee's. looks fresher. not in pic but also added a t-bolt clamp to the cold side.

ill add photos when phobuckets back up and running

NobbyClark

Beautiful ST mate, and I love your attention to detail!

Keep up the good work!

djryan25

Even tho i dont like the new colour it does look neat. so will keep it for now

jason_nike

Great work done there mate.

Eigdoog

Just read through the lot, great looking car. Do have a soft spot for these.

Still no chrome caps though Looking better all black IMO anyway.
