they are indeed ST alloys, forget to mention them! Its only a 1.6, got K&N panel filter and 2.0 litre auto air deflector (more air into air box) i also have an ST snorkel and air box on the way (snorkel is twice the diameter of normal one) and a bluefin which i will order when i can be bothered. just got it back from having the springs fitted... ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/uploads/01/06june/cruisewirral17013.jpg) What do you think??? Im hoping it settles a bit in next few days and i'll be made up. Should i debadge it today?

Looks great lowered mate, i dont think it'll drop any more as its normally dampers that take time to go fully down,springs alone im not too sure weather it'll go lower as they wear in. Looks mean as fook now.
Debadge? maybe, or how mint would it look with the "new" focus badge fitted. Deffo remove any 1.6 or LX type badges from it. Dont remove the ford badges as they leave unsighlty mounts. And IMO u shudnt pump too much money into a 1600 as the gains are crap
altho,ive seen in fast ford rolling road results that a 1.6 got over 120BHP at the fly (i dont believe that for a second tho,especially as all it had was induction and exhaust work)

By the christ! whats the difference between a 1600 zetec-E and the SE. The E would struggle to see 105BHP with a thousand yet this one can see 120BHP. And with a little over 1300 notes u can see 170BHP. OMG

mine is the zetec-se - my old 1600 had 118bhp with bluefin and k&n.
i will have a look into the new focus badge for sure, its a nice looking badge, at the moment the only badge remaining is the focus badge and obv the ford ones too as they look rubbish removed.
side skirts and ICE arrived today, will get them on and post more pics.
cheers guys.

i think it needs the pre-outs for you to have a sub/amp.
as far as i know, if its the standard headunit then prob not but if its aftermarket then it prob will.
£40 will probably buy you your wiring kit for the amp haha.

well... i think its almost complete except for perhaps some very light tints all around (what do you think?) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/uploads/01/06july/cruisewirral03006.jpg) Only think i have done since these pictures is to debadge it, taken the focus badge off, it looks much cleaner now! Since the pics above i have added the side skirts which i think whilst remaining subtle adds a nice flow to the car, makes it look a little sportier! So should i lightly tint all around?
