do yourself a favor & ditch those oem drop links & get the rose jointed mondeo ones on there,
they do make a difference.

What lip is it?http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 77&alt=web
The lip is that one close to the 'is' lip so doesnt look too big but sticks out slightly more. Its made from plastic too

Let us know how you get on with the BCs! The roll bar comparison picture is hilarious!Cheers guys yes the headlamps and brows are going
So today went for a full geom set up/suspension set up at a local motorsport garage in derby these guys set up rooks of competition cars every week.
After much trial and fiddling i settled for
0 toe front camber -1.5
1.5 toe rear camber 1.7
Caster 1.2° front.
Rear damping +27 front +22 hight set accordingly they also did a pre mot and checked over my spanner work everythings tight and theres no reason the car would fail (apart from headlamps + plates)
Thismorning on the way there i planted it in 2nd left onto a duel carage way... back end was out.
Did the same at lunch.. the back wouldnt budge (well would with clutch )
Mega happy is a understatement

Icheers man, well today started well handling is perfect pulling well. Felt balanced.. but..ive had a gremlin with my fuel system scce ive had it which causes random cut outs and no fuel being delivered.
I thought id sorted its with replacing:
New tank
New lines
New walbra fuel pump
Reconned injectors
New fpr + fuel rail
New fuel pump relay
all was fine last summer after replacing it apart from fuel cut on tight rh corners... then today belted it of the lights quick and suprise suprise it plays silly buggers.... it started and after a while then conked left it a hour the started got 200 yard and died. Had to get recovered in mate im at a loss with it. I literally have tomorrow afternoon to sort it else next weekend ace cafe meets a no go a˜¢a˜¢a˜¢a˜¢

As you should be! That looks amazing. Have you any track days planned?
Where did you get the rear drop links from? I really need to swap mine out.

Small update managed to track down some interior parts in particular a gear shift surround with no holes in, lower panel under the instruments and cowling top and bottom, ive had them flocked at flocking fantastic and fitted them today. Also fitted a carbon switch blank panel above the radio blank. While i was at it gave the car a full clean, polish, touch up and re dyed the carpets
