Not a fan of polycarb on a car. Scratches way too easily, we have to be cautious when recommending it at work, and ours isn't exposed to anywhere near the demands of a car.
 
thats my worry, im gettin silly weight out all the time and when i get the two tonne seats out that will help too. im not sure whether the windows out is worth all the hassle... depends how far and how hardcore i want to go with the old girl. i got pretty easy access to the plycarb tho so i could always experiment.

I don't see any major benefit, but if cheap enough, can't blame a girl for trying. They will scratch too f**k though!

What about trying to price some R26R rear windows to see what they cost and then work down from there.

Still looking awsome by the way...
 
chers ian :D

the r26r ones ive looked at, they are generic polycarb ones pal, i can get 'better' ones if needs be as im not into the tint on them for one... its not top of my list though eitherway mate
 
Was in wales yesterday so thought it would be rude not to pop into Demon Tweeks. they usually are really miserable and not bothered but the service i got off one of the lads yesterday changed all my opinions and views on the place. sorted me a nice deal out too.

was after some Motul oil but they had none in my spec, no-one has at the mo, its all getting sent to rally/race teams in Japan and the far east apparently...! n0rm has some though from the TT so will be getting it on thursday, yayy!!

seen a direct air feed intake system in there on display and wanted the same for ages, well as you do i bought it and i'll fit it on thursday.

Also getting a carbon fibre cupraR splitter on thursday, been after one for ages so hoping it will bring the front down nicely, match the bonnet and anchor the front end(minimally granted). will post pics when its on.

The badges are goin Electric Orange too (focus ST colour) as im done with the yellow, bgood pal at chipsaway will be sorting that within next 10 days. got new design of logo and in a colour match too.

needs a proper driver to own a beast like that.... ill come and pick it up in a hour x

too late, i called naith, pretending to be Brenda, and got him to leave his house with the keys still inside. crashed through the door, up the stairs but fell through riad's bed and am now stuck in it. . . . stealing TDK fail :dapprove: trip to see the hot nurses in A&E win ;)
 
needs lowerd more bud ;)

it already is lowered, its stripped too, hence the not slammed approach. but i employ function over form on this car so when i can afford coilovers this year they might not look much different to how the car looks now.

jay ur welcome anytime u know that

:)

i didn't know it stood for "The Dark Knight" Thats nearly as cool as "Ph-Hazmobile!"
 
got round to fitting my front splitter today with warren4.

on his way up from birmingsham he was kind enough to pick up my oil for me off norm, motul goodness. the meg drinks it. gone for 10w 40 instead of 5w, but its no different according to fred/icarus so good times tbh.

bunged that in and decided to give warrens bonnet a quick seeing too

(note SuperIgnis patrolling in the background)

we were meant to fit the CAF and feed but it was sunny and we went racing round trafford park and had ice cream instead.

anyway fitted the cupraR carbon fibre front splitter after lunch and GT5. pretty much a straight fit although we had to shave down a little recess that sits under the bumper and tinker to drill the base and match it etc.

the splitter looks brilliant IMO, so happy with it, needs some final twitching with and a few more layers of malco, but it'll be reete. fitted quite far under so not sticking out and looking all "y0!"... hopefully will give a slight better flow and if no it looks decent, simple things... n all that. not the same quality as the bonnet, but the bonnets worth stupid money and its still decent enough and carbonnnn :D

As said, I wouldn't go for the polycarb windows, I don't think it'll be worth the negligable weight saving compared to the hassle of scratching and discolouration.
