Black Bonus Build -BREAKING
Right well, following on from the moaning of my last Bonus build thread( https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=145854 ) to start a new one for my new build, ive done one 
Unline my last bonus which became a squeeky clean full RS this is one with a difference.
No RST lookalike bits, no powdercoating, no buying everything new from ford, just roughly 200 bhp turbo lump and a clean looking standard bonus 
This is how i bought it, paintwork looks like its been polished with a brick and tottally standard apart from being lowered 40mm(60mm in Bonus talk) on Apex springs.
Standard interior. Will stay the same apart from full valet to get it mint, better door cards(these are in discusting condition
) and a descreet boost gauge
Egnine bay will get a pressure wash before Turbo lump goes in but thats it
And this is it for the outside apart from getting the cutting compund out to get her shineing Oh and obviously it will have the turbo exhaust pokeing out. That sticker is definatly staying as are the ambers
When i bought the car it also came with a full set of adjustable dampers to go on, and a new front panel and wing(dont need these).
Some of the other bits ive started to slowly collect
Aim is to have her al done by Trax

I like the wheels, think they look really cool.
One thing I would change is to fit the grille from an Orion, think it looks a bit better with the body colour bar!
If you ever did want rid of the wheels, let me know, I'd love a set of them

If you put a big set of alloys on it then it ruins the look you are going for.

After getting the front and wing cut and polished, my dad suggested useing Brasso to cut the door as he reckoned it would do the biz better than t-cut and cutting compound
So gave it a whirl and what do you know-works a fucking treat! Worked so well it outshone the already done wing and quarter by a mile, so re did them with the brasso then Meguirs How this side now looks 
I love this car more than my silver one already, it sits so well, looks the bollox for hardly any mods and it almost seems to want to be saved.Keeps rewarding me by comeing up so clean and every area i check is in stonking condition
Also, found my full set of Genuine mudflaps the other day that i was gonna pop on the RS before i sold it. They are comeing up well with a clean
Just got to get the rest of it cut and polished now
