Right then. Not much to update to be honest since I've been saving for a wedding however a couple of little things have been done to the motor...
Firstly I was lucky enough to get hold of a custom lower front grill which removes the numberplate holder giving the front end a cleaner look



Then of course was the numberplate itself. I got rid of the plate that was originally on the car and replaced it with my own plate ^

and last but no means least was the wheels. I grew to love the wheels upto the point where I found out that they had been repaired by the previous owner and a hairline crack formed... So over the last 6 months it is safe to say I went through a fair share of wheels...

19" Kuga Alloys


Gold/Carbon Dipped 19" Focus RS Alloys with 15/20mm Spacers fitted front and rear to clear front Brakes


Then finally I have settled for 18" Rota Grids. Love these things and the car sits perfectly on them as well

Car is starting to finally come round to what I want it to look/perform at. Still got no figures of performance yet however Brakes need a refurb so thinking going a little different to the red they currently are. Something a little like this...


and found out that my CAIS was cracked so currently running this set up with no issues so far and Ryan Middleton says... a lot more 'Turbo Waffle'

Then during the weekend of RS Central at Santa Pod I spent a little time giving the car some attention since it needed it badly. However during this i found that the front bumper had a massive amount of peel where the previous numberplate was fitted. So a little sticker was used to cover it until I get it sorted. In the mean time... first was the standard Snow Foam photo...


Then due to liking the idea that the car remains inconspicuous some of the pumabuild decals was removed as were gel badges both on the rear and interior


And finally found out that the car works well as a Camera Car/Support vehicle with big enough boot for everything needed for track days/shows whilst (if the camera would've worked) getting coverage of the convoy on route with this little toy
