Plates will be changed soon enough, they let the whole car down a lot. Just trying to decide whether to get pressed ones or not

Saw a Fiesta almost identical to this earlier at college

Also beautiful Car look forward to some updates

DAMSK11 · 13th November 2014, 15:06

Small update, lacquered the grills and fog light surrounds last night. Only have iphone pics in the rain so far but might do an actual shoot with my camera soon.

Get it on it's ass and it will look sweet.

This has come a long way! fair play to you for doing all that work yourself!

DAMSK11 · 20th November 2014, 17:13

Finally got some new number plates today. Will be fitting them tomorrow

DAMSK11 · 21st November 2014, 15:37

Fitted the new plates today. They smarten the car up a bit

Then you have the problem at shows where if you take the plate off you have sticky marks. With screws I only have tiny holes which are barely noticeable

Broke a spring on my way home the other night so as soon as I can get hold of some springs, I will be lowering the car

DAMSK11 · 9th January 2015, 17:38

My new springs arrived today, should drop the car around 30/40mm with any luck. Should be fitting them in the coming days.

Will also be spraying the mirrors soon, gloss black with frozen white caps

DAMSK11 · 11th January 2015, 21:16

Took the mirrors off today so they can be sprayed.

Should look like this when they're done, only with gloss black instead of plastic colour

DAMSK11 · 13th January 2015, 19:00

Got the car in today to fit the springs, also sprayed the mirrors with plastic primer. Got one spring on the back fitted but the front broken one is being a pain. Should be spraying the mirrors in paint at some time this week too.

Also freshened up the callipers with some red hammerite i had laying around

Update, front spring is now fitted. Will be fitting tomorrow after the paint has dried

DAMSK11 · 14th January 2015, 18:42

Finished lowering the car today. Sits a nice height. I'm pretty happy with it. Also handles a lot better.

Spring comparison

Red callipers

DAMSK11 · 15th January 2015, 16:52

Couple of quick pictures, gave the car a good clean today, inside and out. Will be doing a shoot with my camera soonish when the mirrors are painted.

Looks good,the bumper needs refitting though mate.

DAMSK11 · 15th January 2015, 20:59

Sprayed the mirror caps frozen white tonight, should be spraying the rest black tomorrow. They need a little polish up to get a few bits out of them.

DAMSK11 · 21st January 2015, 15:31

Mirrors are finally sprayed and fitted. Also got an MOT on the car today. Next on the list is some st side skirts. May smooth the front plate recess later this year too but haven't decided yet.

DAMSK11 · 25th January 2015, 23:29

Got some new plans for the car before show season. Thinking of smoothing the plate recess in the front bumper, doing the roof white and smoothing the hole for the aerial whilst i'm at it, st side skirts and gun metal grey wheels. Possibly smooth or colour code the washer jets too. Maybe a couple of other bits aswell. More progress soon...

DAMSK11 · 11th February 2015, 14:54

Painted the washer jets white yesterday, might relocate them and smooth the holes soon.
