Ah at last, the front pics, looks lovely Ad!
Are there going to be some side indicators and driving lights going in? Enough lights to open a shop!!
What's the number plate plans too? Hope it doesn't ruin the front too much
Hope the clean goes well, you've got some lovely fresh paint there so hope I don't see any swirls!

thats guys
gary tbh i think you have hit the nail on the head
mine will be about 200bhp+ but i think anymore than that in a small car like this woule be too much more than 280bhp would be a waste imo
...
this will be a realiable 200+bhp looks more than the part and from todays drive
the rad + cooler ARE certainly doing THERE job!!!!!!
there would also be improvement if ever wanted too all would need doing is a mega flow head, new turbo, new inj and a map tbh that only £500-1k if spent wisely and this could have 250+bhp
but i am happy as said with the whole relaible package

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.

i think the scooby scoop works aswell to be honest. fits in.

You're like a bus, not a single pic of that front bumper before the other day, and then hundreds come flying along at once!
Glad it passed without problems, thanks god they don't test for dust in the MOT!
After 432 years it is almost on the road again!
Hope getting the box sorted goes well! Will look forward to seeing it at Ford Fair, and the homo himself!

adz not yet!?
and d.j, i have not smoothed it because the scoop is a genuine scoop not fibreglass and not a scooby like adz said
so basically would not smooth well
and also there was a special seal with it so i used that and it works real well gives it a factory look best seen in the flesh...

Looks boshty my man.
Agreed on the scoop. I think it suits the car very very well, and at least you've to the power to back it up should anyone point and laugh , not that they will as its a stunning car. Can't wait too see it.
