MOT tomorrow so fingers crossed mate!
Ah yes, they like the missing vent are temporary. I do have the other pair of comps.
Cheers. I expect it will go to ford fair. Had a good look around yours at central day. Great car mate.

Thanks for the comments.
The missing vent is not a mod. I lost the last one after I forgot to tighten it back up after a mapping session. We remove it to get the hose for the det cans into the bay. I have a replacement in primer and will paint it when we do the other couple of bits (like the wing I mopped through!).
With regards to steelies. I want to see what difference running 15's makes on the 1/4 (if any) and I had some 15" 888's so that why they're on. Plus, the t1r's on the comps at the moment have had it and I needed to Mot it so the 15's tick that box. I think I'm likely to get 888's on the 17's and run it this way mostly.
I'll take a look at the sapp splitter. Can't picture it right now. I have been thinking about adding a rear diffuser like the one used on the current focus zetec s. I'm conscious twins and jamies car have diffusers already but I like the look
I changed the engine bay to look like this around Christmas time when the new engine was being build. It used to be full chrome and I hated it! I had everything powder coated in a textured satin black. It's about as near to crackle as a powder coat can get.
The ignition leads are Motorsport blues now as I was having drama's with the black leads I had braided up. Probably me upsetting them pulling them about to braid and shrink wrap lol. They looked awesome before and better than the blues but they gotta work and they didn't want to after about a bar of boost. Weird!
Appreciate the feedback. Also for interest, car is running 'Link' management, siemen's 60lb injectors and mapped by Mark Shead at MA Developements who keeps doing a cracking job for me!

Looks nice that!
I do think it could do with a bit more black or carbon on the outside to tie the roof in a bit more. I'd be tempted to switch back to bumpers with the black inserts myself. Maybe a black splitter of some kind? Just needs something to suit the aggressive look of the dark wheels/carbon roof I think.
Lovely motor though
