Don't look too bad... I think the blue strips let the car down
Green ones I like, or nothing at all
Get those brakes cleaned!!

Looking good there, i also am not a fan of black wheels, it just looks like ur riding on steel's, but its not my car, if we all liked the same thing all our cars would be the same,
Keep up the good work

Cheers for all your replies.
I like them alot.
im debating whether to remove the side blue strips and just keep the bumper ones. I can see the blue now clashes with the black wheels.
Im thinking about just dropping the rear a tad - maybe 25mm drop.
The stalker situation is a bit worrying -
Cossie ones are on there way soon

Bit of a colour coded update.
New wheels have made me think about losing the blue strips.
Max has been waiting for me to do this for ages so here you go.
Before you ask they pics are not photoshopped.
Hows it look now ?
I made some of my own window stickers - so if anybody wants some drop me a Pm.

The black trim strips have totally changed it for the better
The black wheels looks far more at home now, quite similar to "ballin's" car before he broke it.

Thats the best i could do today as it was pouring down at work.
Pedal feels fine even with the standard hoses. May wack on a set of braided hoses.... But the stopping power is excellent.

The black strips was only black insulation tape, didnt last long in the wet ....

Im a bit worried pulling off the bumper inserts as the last time i did it the paint came off with it.

Once i have done that its a trip to fords to get the black bumper inserts. Im still wondering whether to leave the side ones off .....
mike_wall15 :Much better!
Now go clean those wheels!![]()
lol @ Mike -

What come's next? who care's, why worry about things over which you have no control. Freedom is a voyage of discovery with all the enjoyment of seeing things and experiencing events for the first time. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

knuckles :lol @ Mike -They are not dirty... the inner alloy wheel has been finshed with matt paint. Easier to keep clean and means i aint got to polish the inner wheels all the time like max

They aren't bad, but do look a little brownie-dirty like!

I have a black Ford bumper strip, so if you want you can go order one from them, then knock £5 off that price and have mine from me for that
Glad you've got some proper brakes now!
