I powdercoated my engine components for my mark 1 five years ago, that included cam cover and such so high heat exposure
All of its still pretty much mint, so it's pretty hard wearing ;)
ai, I had a set of 5 as well..............it wasn't you who bought them off me was it perhaps??? I sold them about 18 months or so ago I think to a CS member!
my advice, don't put 17's on, they'll look too big and more than likely rub with cheap springs on standard shocks and any tyre profile. rock some nice 16's on the 35mm drop and be happy with no scrubbage ;)
edit: post read fail, its a mk3 you have, apply above to mk2, so in this case ignore...
as all others have said, nasty crash but glad your facing the demons and restoring her. Zetec makes financial sense, but I'm getting the impression that that's beside the point for this car so twin cam lotus it must be imo
mine is already beginning to grate, love the stance but as a daily its a bit tiresome, same as the yozza. well its more like when others are in the car, I don't mind when i'm on my own with radio on etc, but with someone in the car its just not really nice!lol!
no mate, cheap daily this one so no need to really, just more grief for another quick car i dont need so engine wise its stopping standard. keeps the insurance and the fuel use down a bit and the temptation for licence loosing fun out the equation as well. although tbh its easy as it is to creep...
see if you can source some 16" superleggeras
i love superlegs but only have 15" sets currently but i have coilies so it helps, i intend to get sportlines however at some point so i will be trying to get some 16" superlegs again as i sold mine 18 months ago stupidly :(
as above, dont carwash it, bugger the stick ons the poor paint will be a swirl fest afterwards!
and pics on car, if they look okay i may invest......unless you want to sell me your carbon ones ;)
taken couple of snaps of the RB and put vibratec or whatever its called engine mount on the turbo and fitted the single light seat ready for shakey 1/4 miling tomorrow :)
