My LY 182

[olly_mango]

I brought my 05 LY about 5 weeks ago, totally standard like this:

gave it good clean up, excuse the poor excuse for a fiesta (its acctually a puma )

fitted the k-tec matt carbon splitter:

went for a major whorage session with a few mates:

then put my new carbon fibre plates on:

then the gaz coiles and ktr cat back system:

all finished:

next on list is brake upgrade and remap, and also need to modify the arch lining a bit, as sometimes get bit of scrubbing on full lock with a lot of weight in the car.

You have by far the nicest car out of you & your mates !

(also my poor work internet connection was struggling with number of pics just now) Me needs an upgrade.

 

[Ali]

Gaz coilovers should be added to the Swear filter.!

 

[olly_mango]

haha thanks, the puma powered fiesta is quite nice in the flesh, as is the skyline, the belmont on the other hand is just awful.
i'll make sure or try and make sure its clean for saturday!

 

[Timmay]

dont worry if it isnt - mines gonna be three colours and dorty so dont worry too much lol

 

[olly_mango]

lol oh well thats good, but i dont like it being dirty, perfer to see it shining. I'm going to try and get it quickly cleaned tonight, after i been for another drive to get the dampening right on the coilovers lol

Looks very nice.

Didnt know you can get k-tec matt splitters. Link anyone?

 

[olly_mango]

its not on the website i don't think, when i rang up they where out of the shiny ones, so suggested the matt one, and i think prefer it now, dont have to worry about stone chips so much

 

[Coby.]

I loved the look of the Matt Finish Splitter.... Get it Nice and Clean for Saturday so we can get some Good Pics

Nice mods Olly, loving the front plate trimmed to the recess
Not sure what a "matt carbon" splitter is lol but looks well

But fog lights - come on!

 

[TOONARMY]

Very Very nice car mate, always loved LY. I need to get my car lowerd after seeing yours.

toon

 

[timmyd]

That looks stunning, love the pics of the standard shocks and gaz shocks, what a difference!
Dunno if a remap is worth it but definately a brake upgrade and prehaps a set of recaros?

recaros maybe if i won the lottery lol, the sport seats are really comfy anyway i find, so not so worried about that.

i was under the impression it would smooth the torque curve a bit and add a tiny amount of ponies ?

 

[Ash87]

[cafcross]

on the window trim at the top is that not for deflecting air over the sunroof? if so why is it on the car havent seen that before, maybe window replaced and fited wrong trim for model?
