The CNC'd rondells are great - they go extremely well with the WRC kit.

Fantastic car, very fresh looking, love the back lights.
My old chap was out working in Switzerland a few years back, a toolmaker for a company based very near to lake Lugano.

Thank you, the backlight I've modified myself, basically they were all white and I do not like all white, too startrek-style, bleah!

Yes , Lugano is a beautiful part of Switzerland, one of the best, and there we speak Italian... in addition to German and French from the rest of Switzerland.

Thank you to all for your reply!!

Absolutely love the look of your car my friend! All the subtle mods really do make it

I've never been a big fan of Rondells but yours look fantastic without the centre's as others have said

Yes mi too, Rondell are not my favorites, but actually without the center and machined, it really changes the style and appearance.

The next steps for this winter are in the front: compression struts with new adjustable TCA and new ARB. Front and rear: new brakes and coilovers and new adjustable top mounts.

Next year i want to ride on track in France and Italy ...in Switzerland we have nice open roads but no track ..

I wouldn't complain too much man, in comparison to us in the U.K., you're not too far away from the Stelvio Pass and Nurburgring

In the dictionary Chav is: a young working-class person whose tastes, although sometimes expensive, are considered vulgar by some. Lower class, uneducated, ignorant person.

Yes this is right, but better in England living for the motorsport, the Ford specialist's, and the people..

Now i'm happy from my car with this spool-up and torque...but this should be an external waste-gate and a longstud kit.. now i have only 1.7 bar boost...
