Still looks lovely and red, which was putting me off the red ones as I expected them to be pink!

Theres zero fading which is a bonus, thinks the rear has seen paint though.
Small update, got a few bits in the post, some cler side repeaters, hid kit and recirculating dump valve.
Hoping to fit these tomorrow all being well.
Also slight change of plans with the car, i have just been given a promotion at work managing a new store they have opened, which means my commute has grown a bit making the 200 very expensive to run day to day. I have decided to get something like a golf diesel and keep the 200 as a weekend/evening car.

Is that the HID Kit from Horsham Developments?
Aye, thinking of getting one myself TBH.

Not had much to report on lately as the car has been driving me 80 miles a day to work, it's performed faultlessly just a little noisey. My main gripe is the rate it drinks fuel, the cost was about £70+ a week 
, anyway i decided to buy a commuter, 2002 Ford Focus 1.6 zetec (3 door). This means i can start doing some real work on the car.
Fitted the recirc kit but think i am going to take it off, pidgeon mod sound so much nicer. Today i stripped down the front end to get the numberplate brick off, and also to start repainting the bumper. After i cleaned up behind the bumper and headlights it all looks nice and tidy.
Noticed a slight crack on the manifold a while back so i removed the heatwrap to get a proper look, not good, the crack goes almost the way round.
Due to the location of the crack i am going to replace the manifold.

Shame I can't use the Tomei with my all in one elbow & downpipe.

Bumper repainted and square plate fitted 
Came out pretty good considering it was done with spray cans, just got to repaint the grill as its a bit off.
Started to pc the car, got the drivers side and bonnet done then my pad fell apart, so need to order in a new one. However looking at the car under direct sun shows i only achieved about 60% correction, so i need to give it another pass.

erm why? the downpipe goes on the turbo not the mani?! it keeps the turbo in the same place as you can use stock downpipes with them....
and the difference between ebay mani's and tuner ones... well the ebay ones are EXACTLY the same as the apex performance ones, pretty much anything that is 2fast2cool or xspower is the same as apex performance stuff however bren will tell you that all his products are stronger blablabla but its all bullshit! he complained to the company that the ss wasnt thick enough on the runners, they changed them on all the mani's they produce...
difference between them and a hks or tomei well... price there is a huge difference and i have seen 700 quid hks mani's with cracks in them... every ss mani will crack if un supported with weight on them... however the more expensive mani's are flowed better and designed better the ebay jobs are copy's.....

Couple more bits arrived, jumped on the opie oils offer and got some Fuchs Titan, plus an oil filter and magnetic sump plug from driftworks ( they give you maoam 
).
Stainless manifold to replace the cracked one, just waiting on a nissan turbo gasket to turn up than I may give it a go this weekend.

Parts Shop Max state you can't use a Tomei Extreme Manifold with their all in one elbow & downpipe as it pushes it too far back.
