ForceIndia · Oct 24, 2010

Get the f**k in. Great move, excellent finish.

Wrong thread lol

DrR · Oct 24, 2010

Looks mint! How muchos? Millage etc?

Gally · Oct 24, 2010

Fantastic move mate, great cars!

Gearbox and steering are nothing short of fantastic.

Leave out the red bages please.

Get the wheels done black and get all those plastics done black to, it'll transform the look of the car.

Remember less is more somethimes, it's quite a good looking car and a nice shape so doesn't need lots of tat on it.

If you need any advice on them or have any queries fire me a PM. Get it detailed and it'll look great!

Daz. · Oct 24, 2010

I'd leave it exactly as it is to be honest!

young_lew · Oct 24, 2010

Get the Eibach's and a strut brace on it, it transformed the car when I had mine.

Actually if I could afford two cars I would never have sold it.

Christopher · Oct 24, 2010

I love this type of hire car.

Gally · Oct 24, 2010

Is this his new hire car JDM?

Munson · Oct 24, 2010

Ford > all.

D4N13L · Oct 24, 2010

Definetley eibachs, had them on mine and transformed the look and handling. Maybe look at getting a seto of ST wheels.

I always heard that the ST wheels actually made the MK6's handle worse, hence a few ST owners 'downgrading' to ZS wheels and the ST cup cars even going one step further and fitting 15's.

Dunn · Oct 24, 2010

people only say there great when they havent owned one

i did and it was terrible lol

s**t interior seating position and dont start me on MPG lol

oh and the gearbox was good until it started making weird squeeling noises

get a 182

Matt_90 · Oct 24, 2010

Looks great mate

Leave the red badges out thought, Get it on some eibachs and it will change the car.

Get the wheels black and the grills and it will be a mini version of mine, with regards to the above comment, gear boxes are comon for a few issues but even when broken would still feel better than a 182 imo :rasp:

Seating position i fixed by fitting a new seat lol was the only let down with the interior but then again I have reasons for a bucket seat

... and the interior is so much nicer than a clio 1*2, not looking to start another st/zs vs 1*2 thread just my opinion.

Clio Rep · Nov 22, 2010

hi, thinking of geting the door plastics sprayed like the door stripes and handles and maybe mirror cover, how should i go ahead in doing this? whats the best way? i have no idea?,

Arthur

chris_p · Nov 22, 2010

My mate had the diesel zs before his frs, i think they're a tad feeble!

I much prefer the mk5 in imperial

richybatt · Nov 22, 2010

lovely car mate, iv got the sea grey tdci! I'm pretty much leaving it te way it is bar carbon badges, like eveyone hassaid they are cracking motors as standard and look great after a good old clean, good luck what ever you end up doing to it!

Christophe · Nov 23, 2010

Got the same

They are nice little cars. few pics of mine

Ian_182 · Nov 23, 2010

Decent looking cars in that guise.TDCI is meant to see a good return on the smaller engine...

Clio Rep · Nov 25, 2010

looks nice i like it

Clio Rep · Jan 5, 2011

Next mods in mind are Black / Red Ford badges, armrest, paint calipers and hubs black or red, fit my vibe slick 6x9's fit my Vibe sub inc vibe wireing kit! replace my x4 5" vibe slick door speakers i had in my clio for some 5x7 vibe slicks, and a MASSIVE PROPER CLEAN!

will post photos as soon as it happens

pipercorss oil filter? bwarrrrp

Matt_90 · Jan 5, 2011

I wouldn't go for the red gel overlays they look awful IMO. its a blue oval for a reason

Arm rest is a good option I have thought about one for mine but I can think of other things to spend the pennies on.

^^ Christophe, can I have your address so I can come and remove the front & rear bumpers off your ZS while you sleep, I will leave my battered stone chipped ones for you in return. Also where do you keep your locking wheel nut ? :rasp:

Gally · Jan 10, 2011

Ha!

Have you got the red badges idea out your head yet?

Clio Rep · Jan 10, 2011

i am actually not sure about the red badges now :S but i do know i want to change from the blue ford ones!

alex-avfc · Jan 10, 2011

Why on earth would you do that, other than for the sakes of it? Ford is all about 'the blue oval'

^^ this!

Spend your money on getting the grills and surrounds painted satin black, get the bumper strips colour coded and some ST side skirts and you have a winner

good move to the zetec always loved these, enjoy

So Woke up saturday and decided to do something to the car!

Started with a cup of lemsip!

the plan fitting my vibe stuff thats laying around the garage but cant connect sub to my standard head unit so decided not to fit any of it and leave it all standard!

So went to ford and orderd a new little platic bit which the mirror adjuster sits in as mine is broken and i got a quote to replace my seat tilt and that came in at £50.93 inc part and fitting, should i do that? or can i do it myself?
then went to Halfords and got screen wash, black paint and rear wiper. got home and put the rear end up on axel stands!

and started to paint the drums-

i will post photos of finished product asap as forgot to take a photos! lol

i also took the k&N 57i off and replaced with original airbox and im going to put a K&N penel filter in that!.

then i went to a garage for an custom exhuast quote and after i did this

But all my car needs is a new numberplate! but im paying for the damage on the vectra!

Matt_90 · Jan 18, 2011

Looks like you had abit of an uneventful day fella.... but if you had of started off with a good cup of tea you would be off to a better start. How much is the vectra to repair?

The ford audio systems are very good for standard and will no doubt sound better if not as good as the vibe stuff.

Get yourself some matt/stain paint and get the front upper/lower grills painted, and the rear valance.

Don't suppose you fancy some ST wheels?
