Re: Sierra 3dr Cosworth - Comp CXN & intercooler fitted
Cheers for the comments folks, they are what the car needed. Not cheap but worth every penny in my eyes.
Just wait to get the upper spoiler sorted for the rear then the car will look different again.
One thing i did notice straight away is the car handles completely different and to be honest not as good as the 15" but some things have to give.
Update on the engine side of things i have never managed to cure the slight judder in the rev range so i have decided to go for the MSD wasted spark conversion and get them to check the map around vacuum pressure.
I nearly make the big jump last week and buy a T4 hybrid but chickened out at the last minute but CR Turbo's will be overhauling the T34 for including 360's and poss angled blades etc.
More updates when i have some more money

Small update
My RS500 upper spoiler will be with me next Tuesday and will be straight in the paintshop and fitted by the end of the week along with the lower spoiler.
I have been speaking to Dave from DMB and he is making up some new graphics for me which include:
I had made a replica image of the compomotive centre cap but have since gone off the idea as it wouldn't look right against the black paint
So i've decided to go with the more subtle design in 66mm
Like i said in other posts that i didn't want to badge the car as anything other than it is so instead of the tickford badge i have this badge made in gel overlay to go in the same place. 95mm x 12mm
And the new wing badge which is slightly different to the one that's on the car at the minute but will be in the darker colour to match the origianl colour boot decal.

Got the spoiler today in a wooden crate yes it looked like a coffin , but my painter is off for the week so it'll be next week now.
Here's some pictures of the car with the badges fitted.
Wheel centre in the compomotive font they don't normal do their centres in but i think it looks better than the standard design.
And wing badges which i quite like.

That looks stunning Chris. Made the right choice with those centre caps and the motorsport badges look sweet. Don't fancy a swap for a half molested *cough* I mean half finished Series 2?

I have to say the spoilers have made a big difference, looks awesome.
As Jay said too, all those small touches make it stand out so much more.

Coolers fine mate and it's noticed a difference but it's 20mm thicker, i personally think the are decent, yes heavy but the welds are perfectly fine and deal with my 25psi+ so on a RS Turbo they'd be no problem
