This is just the beginning!!

RJO89 · 14-10-2008, 03:08 PM

Well here's the first of my latest modifications. Hopefully going to be installing the next lot (big) in the next few days, so keep an eye on this thread. Hopefully I can do them tonight, but have exams coming up and consequently haven't got time to scratch myself.

Front

Steering wheel

Boot

They're cool, by the best is yet to come. You guys have no idea how freakin excited I am about the next part!!!!

me too i want ideas!! looks great regan, where did u pick them up from?
get some further back shots of the car!
i reckon they would look sweet up against your black focus

RJO89 · 14-10-2008, 03:35 PM

I'll take better photos after the next bit is finished. That'll give you an overall look of the entire car. They're cheap as chips. 13 pounds. Got them from www.dmb.uk.com. Those guys are incredible. Can't recommend them highly enough. Dealt with them twice now and they have had prompt answers to questions, discounts both times, and quick (ridiculously so) shipping times.
EDIT - here's the link to the badge overlays.

haha. Can't do that to you all. This is fun for me!!! Well, sort of. The not telling is the fun part. The not having it done is the not fun part!!! Not long, hopefully. But then again, it could also be not til my exams are finished on November 3rd. But we'll see!

skriblz06 · 14-10-2008, 09:00 PM

i think i have an idea of what will be next..haha probably wrong though

RJO89 · 14-10-2008, 09:01 PM

Any more guesses, just PM me and I will confirm or deny. But you only get one guess!! And don't go PMing each other after you've found out if you're right or wrong

skriblz06 · 14-10-2008, 09:28 PM

woohoo, correct!! but wont spoil your fun dude..btw, sorry to copy your badging idea. but would like to know how you were able to install those black ford badges. On the site it only says Ford Badge GEL overlays. Wouldn't have a clue on how they are in real life. haha. Really interested in doing this as well. also how much is shipping?

Cheers!

RJO89 · 14-10-2008, 10:31 PM

Mate they're probably the easiest things to install. they literally just stick over the top of the blue Ford badges. You don't remove anything. Just peel off the gel overlays from the sheet they come on, and stick them over the stock badges. So if you ever want to go back to the blue ones, just peel the overlays off!!
Not sure how much shipping would be individually, but the guys at DMB might even give it to you for free. If you got a group buy going you might be able to get a discount as well as free shipping. Don't quote me on that, but that would be a fair assumption. And considering they're a cheap, easy, good-looking mod, I dare say a few people would be up for that group buy. Plus there are a huge range of colour options available.

skriblz06 · 14-10-2008, 10:38 PM

haha cool cool, thanks for that

#Russ#Es# · 23-10-2008, 09:54 PM

Ahem, its been a little quiet in this thread lately...where's the other new toys?

RJO89 · 23-10-2008, 10:00 PM

still coming. Got uni exams on at the moment, so haven't had a chance. Probably going to be on, with any luck, on Tuesday November 4th :(. Shattered already, this is the longest I've had modifications without them actually being on the car!!!

#Russ#Es# · 24-10-2008, 05:18 PM

Not a prob, looking forward to the results. Good luck with the exams

RJO89 · 30-10-2008, 07:08 PM

Well I got part one of three done yesterday. Looks awesome. Much better in real life. Only the bonnet and boot done yesterday. Doing the sides individually as they will take a fair while to put on, and that's being done by someone who was in the industry for about 10 years. Gotta love having connections!!

After peeling the side stripes off..

Bonnet

Hatch

eXtremist · 30-10-2008, 07:59 PM

You sir are a sticker freak! Get away!!

Angel eyes!! :P

I see you've also modified the headlights!

RJO89 · 30-10-2008, 08:45 PM

Yeah the angel eyes were the first thing I did to the car, apart from the rims.
Best thing about stickers is that if I get sick of them, or find something better, I can just take them off!! Stickers ftw! (Oh, and gel overlays for black ford badges

)

want-a-XY · 30-10-2008, 08:46 PM

so the side stripes are stuck on with double sided tape also? just like the badge?

RJO89 · 30-10-2008, 09:01 PM

Nah the side stripes, and all stripes for that matter, are self-adhesive. Come off really easily with a hairdryer....

want-a-XY · 30-10-2008, 11:38 PM

how much sticky crap did you have to take off afterwards? quite a bit more than the F O C U S badge i guess?

But I think they have one over your car, with that 'WRC pack' body kit..

RJO89 · 31-10-2008, 04:15 PM

Yeah that body kit is mad as. *contemplating* Nah too expensive!
And it won't be too subtle once the side cheques go on. They are actually a lot bigger than the ones on that Zetec!

Bucknaked · 31-10-2008, 07:47 PM

I like that Zetec S. is that a special model? Or someones done this to their own car? Looks pretty good

Well if you bothered to check the link in my above post, it states that "Ford is introducing a sporty Zetec S variant" hence its a new model available now in the UK which fits in between the standard Zetec and their Titanium models.

And knowing Ford Aus they wont bring it out here.........
