NOOB WARNING :

Easy with this one! it's my very first post.

So Hello! Thought i'd put my fresh daily up along with a little Intro. I looked for an "introduce yourself' section but i'm feeling pretty incapable at the moment so apologies in advance. Thought i'd post on the thread that inspired me to join : )

It's only my third ford! but the cleanest one i've ever owned.

Bought in April 2014 for £950, she's a 1.6 zetec, manual, got 74k miles on the clock, Im owner no.3, FSH, loads of stamps in log book, engine purrs, no clicks or rattling! well looked after by previous owner - let say he's called Colin - (apart from the dog hairs all over the back)

wearing matte black Azev A's 16x7.5 et35 195/45/16 proxes in the pics but have since been replaced by 14" steelies as they're not 'technically' legal on the fronts for arch protrusion.

work done since bought:

removed ghastly "GB' sticker from tailgate,
replaced faded reg plates with new euro ones
debadged
Dark smoke tints on back
clear indicators
body colour tailgate trim
chrome exhaust tip
new brake discs front and pads all round
all fluids, sparks and filters replaced

now wondering whether to roll/pull the arches to allow the wheels to fit under them or change the wheels altogether to fit with stock suspension

Anyone with experience with pulling the arches out on focus estate? - don't wan't to mess with the clean lines really. I've spend days wondering what wheels would suit best on a silver focus estate. Black? or Silver?! ARGH!

or should i just play safe and go for a clean set of st170 rims or 16" x 7 Calibre Vintage rims after i lower it on eibach pro-kits. any recommendations for coilovers?

Your wise words i require.
