I was thinking white and do the door shuts etc. but keep engine bay black, black roof and black wheels

Fair play, you are improving it, but whoever owned it before went full retard.

Lowered with some decent wheels on will make all the difference now and then just the tidying up of bodywork.

You're doing a fine job!

Started to make a rear diffuser today. Going to make the shape of the fin out of cardboard and cover it with fibreglass and then smooth it into the bottom of the bumper.









Going to do them this sort of shape



Also smoothed the exhaust recess a bit so it looks neater. I'll probably put a lip on it to clean it up a bit more.
Anyone know what width the fins usually are on the diffusers?

[DAMSK11]

Did a little more work on the diffuser today, smoothed the exhaust recess and filled the hole at the side.





Then started making the cut outs for the fins, I'm planning on making them about an inch wide which means around 8 bits of cardboard for each fin. With fiberglass and filler on they should be around that size.



20 cut out....

I do like this shape fiesta, you seem to be improving it a lot, I think if your spraying do it white, with the diffuser and grills etc gloss/satin black.

Test fitted the fins today and tried it on the car but wasn't happy with how it looked. The fins needed to come out more so after cutting different bits about i got something i was pretty happy with.





Test fitted to the car, one fin fell off





The bottom one shows how much more needs to be added

[DAMSK11]

Sorted the problem with the lack of light in the boot by fitting a running light under the plastic panel

[DAMSK11]

Swapped my wheels for some cosworth style ones today. Should look alright when they're refurbished

[DAMSK11]

Fitted a leather gear gaiter today and painted the ring bit black



Looks a lot better than standard

[DAMSK11]

Did some more work on the diffuser fins today after not touching them for a while. Almost ready to be smoothed into the bumper now. Finished repairing the rear valance, filled cleaned up the hole and recess from where someone had previously butchered it.



Also did some more repair work to the rear bumper where it was cracked. Plastic welded it and stuck some fibreglass on it, today i put some filler in

[DAMSK11]

Test fitted the fins again today, shall be mounting them properly later and smoothing them in so can hopefully get some primer on soon

[DAMSK11]

Did some more smoothing today, getting near to being ready for primer now

[DAMSK11]

Rear diffuser is now ready for paint..after a long time...should be getting sprayed in the next couple of days.

[DAMSK11]

Sprayed the diffuser in primer today so is now ready for paint in the next day or so

[DAMSK11]

Got rid of as many imperfections as I could today so the diffuser is now ready for paint. Should be sprayed in the next couple of days

Diffuser is quality! Very impressed! Cars starting to look better, especially the wheels, made a big difference

Thanks mate. I'll be doing the wheels in the same colour as I did the saxo ones soon. I'll eventually try and get some with more spokes or some genuine cossie wheels

[DAMSK11]

Diffuser is now done

Looks nice mate, look forward to seeing it fitted
