Wheels93 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 A few people have commented on my chrome strip on the bonnet (the last being Kieran above), so I decided today was the day it was deleted. I had today annual so decided to use it productively. I took the car to the local signage place who my family have used regularly for various things for a quote and ended up walking away like this. I am £20 lighter but it took the guy an hour to get it right. Especially with me being anal in the background ;) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b4zz Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 the bonnet strip looks much better now it been wrapped fella and the vents would finish the front end off a treat. once you fit the splitter in the spring that would be one mean looking front end imo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to dechrome the fog rings at the front too to sea grey to go with the remainder of the car and that will be it finished.

Stoney871 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Very tidy set of mods there. I think the vents will definitely fit in well and add 15bhp ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this not the case :Pthey will help keep the windscreen from frosting up while driving in winter, May see a slight reduction in mpg figures as the will create a level of drag creating increased vacuum within the engine bay through front grills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point well made. I was looking at getting the same induction kit as yours. Probably get the miles back up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The K&N57s is an awesome kit and i highly recommend fitting. as discussed in further detail here: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/36783-green-cotton-performance-induction-filter-fitting-guide/ It increases performance and reduces lag, If driven easy it does provide a significant increase of 3.2mpg 👌 I'll be having the side port of mine blanked off this week using the supplied blank; as the weather is getting colder 😧diesel doesn't like freezing conditions, Causes particular particles in the fuel to bond like wax, This can become enriched within the fuel filter restricting flow, There are some products available to add in fuel tank preventing waxing but I'm happy enough just to have plug put in side induction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a superb improvement!! It's good how you can add the side port though.. Just trying to justify the costs to my misses at the moment "/ its not going too well truth be told. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't tell my missus until well after she fitted it, She guessed 80euro but was double that and more given it was 1 euro = 70p 😣 worth every penny though, kinda calmed her down when I said it sucked as good as she did 😂 And prodigy motorsport were cheapest supplier 👍 link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151572141725 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
