Update and loads of photos



I cleaned her today, been a couple weeks since I last did as I have been working on the house.



Went for a nice ride, gave her some beans and it looks like the tyres are starting to grip in second. I have warn them in so it seems



Anyway I gently drove it to some places for some photos and then went for a blast.



This is at Yeovilton Weir, stumbled across a well speced E46 M3 which looked so nice. Owner was not around so took a few snaps and left























I moved up the road to the back end of Yeovilton Navy Camp, took a few snaps and went to move on, ended up at a dead end right on the end of the runway, I was going to take some photos but the gaurds had driven around and gave me the look to leave quickly, so I did



























I then moved to Haynes Motor Museum which is where I took most of my pics. This is properly pic heavey so look away now if you dont like looking at Escort RS Cosworths































































































































































































As you can see, I have killed the front bumper good and proper. Had a price from a mate who makes carbon fibre parts mainly for Hondas etc but said he can fix the bumper and the splitter for £70, but did say it would need some paintwork so he is looking into that for me, not as bad as having to replace. Was quoted £500 for a new bumper, then paint, then a new splitter.



I am thinking if this splitter gets battered again of maybe getting a fibre glass one and just wrapping in carbon fibre wrap.



I also want to carbon firbre wrap the strut brace and the two chrome tanks under the bonnet. This will match in with the other CF and I hope will not look OTT



All comments welcome, even on my wonkey front splitter/bumper and poor camera work



PS I tried getting arty with the shots as you can tell
