On the drivers door must have been a stone chip that went bad. around the filler cap and had the rear spoilers sparayed as they were flaking.

What suspension have you got on it mate?! Mine's lowered on Konis but it sits up a little bit more than I'd like at the back, yours looks about right though, how I want mine so if you could help?! Mine's also Ash Black by the way but a small turbo version. I have the standard rims, twin headlamps, and the same rear light clusters as you aswell mate! Instead of the front fogs though I've gone for the RS500 grilles, and my side repeaters are clear whereas yours are tinted

Looks good mate. You can sometimes get the hockey sticks on ebay under parts by brand.

Agreed, I'm not a lover of them myself! They just don't go with anything else on the car

Nice looking car, good advice from the guys as usual.

When it comes to the badges - each to their own, but I think you can't fault the standard badges as they were when they left the factory.

car is FAR too low at the back

all esc cossies should have that arse up, nose down stance...

put the std badges back on (LT badges) and lose the tacky s/s blank plates


other than that. looks nice

The bottom part is officially known as the STONE DEFLECTOR Fella, that's why

the bib spoiler and hockey sticks are actually the "stone deflectors" as damo says,"he already has one" its the air splitter he is missing

Well when I went to a 'Ford Main Dealer' and asked for a lower splitter (the part in question) he came back to me and said "that part is known as the stone deflector" so that is what I was going on!

I know this debate has carried on for far longer than it should have already but I have just routed out the empty packaging from the back of my garage from when I bought my "splitter/deflector" and on the sticker which has all the various part numbers on etc it does say "Description:- DEFLECTOR-STONE"
