Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Nice work mate, much more satisfying to do all the work yourself, as long as you have the skills, which you clearly have 
I do like the front lights, very different.
Keep up the good work, well done.

Thanks guys.
Small update for You. Now Im starting to modifying the bumpers. I hope that It will be working well like the shape for mould. Wait for the complete shape, I think that It will be better than now. I have the idea for both bumpers.

Im really happy that You like that. It will be a lot of hard work but I hope that I will finished the bumpers in month.
But today I bought a parts which I didnt need it yet. Price was pretty good and I will be need something like that in the future.
Porsche 944 Turbo or 911 (966) 4pot brake calipers. Brake discs will be used Focus ST170 300x24mm discs or Focus RS 324x28mm discs or Peugeot 406 Coupe 3,0 V6 305x28mm discs.

personally i think the bumpers are far too square compared to the arches!
The arches look really really good but im affraid I think the bumpers let it down BIG time..

Thanks guys for the comments. Its not finished yet. The front bumper will be little bit cleaner. The lower part of bumper is same as sideskirts and it will be in one line from the side view. Will be better with smaller central crossbar and with mounted IC. Rear bumper will be rounder, central part will be cut out and it will be difusser there and the rear part will be cut in angle like original bumper. It will be something like Twins but with small difusser like DTM. I hope that it will be looking good or I will make another one.

So.. after a long time (1,5 year) I heard my engine run. I get my car to small airport when the Czech Ford Club (FordFans) has a meet. Car was working pretty well but It looks still like a scrap. 1/4 mile in 17,94 but Its still 130hp NA engine. It was funny and Im really happy that the car is running so easy after a long time. Now I have only a few pics but I hope that the friends has a more pics or video with my car. Ill throw in later.

Turbocabbie: Its not so simple but not impossible. Thanks
Twins: I would like to use the white pearl colour. Maybe some of mine prescriptions or white pearl from Subaru colour card.
hai07222: Thanks.. rear bumper will be lower and with the diffusor and front will be more rounder. But the shape will be like that.

Next little update after a long time:
front bumper is modifiing now and It needs a little bit putty and rubbing... Its continually round about. Im going crazy by it but it will be going to be good. I hope.
so.. and this week I bought a new Focus ST170 front 300x28 discs
Calipers needs to modify because the fixtures on calipers and fixtures on pitmans are in same place. In the wheel is a little space between wheel and caliper so I need only a modify the calipers to get some better position for fitting caliper to the pitman and I need to made some brackets.
