Default Newbie from Livingston

Hi my name is Craig I've just joined and wish to share some pics of my st220 which I have owned for three years now. I've made quite a few changes in the time I've owned her including fitting focus st225 front brake callipers as the originals were poor to say the least I've also lowered th car 30mm alround on h&r springs which I think feel and look good I took a trip down to MIJ exhausts back in April to have a cat back system fitted to the car which has a nice little burble to it an not a nasty intrusive sound. I did have focus RS vents fitted on the bonnet for a while but never really liked them so after dropping tools on it in my garage I quickly sourced another bonnet had it painted and fitted by a local bodyshop. The engine bay has had two different paint themes but it's now back to standard for the time being. I also pulled my headlights apart and painted the chrome inners black as I like the more aggressive front end the triple R splitter helps th front end also. Last year I replaced all the rear suspension components including the subframe and shock absorbers I fitted poly bushes aswell. I'm looking forward to chatting to some of you on here and attending any meets that might be happening locally.
