Looks very nice Mark

How are you finding the ride with the GMAX springs and standard shocks ?

Looks very low at the rear

It's settled a bit now :) I had just collected a 1.8 Zetec and Gearbox when those pictures were taken, but even normally it does sit ever so slightly lower at the back. The springs are for a Zetec, though, and this is a 1.4.

Ride is great on the springs, perfectly comfortable. Ideal for my G/F as she doesn't push the car. I do drive it now and then and it's still reasonably competent, but the standard Ford damping (these are brand new) is very much on the conservative side.

Looks really nice! Almost makes me want to tidy up my 5 door run around. Just wish it had a bigger engine in it to make it worth spending on :lol:

I agree with Max, though... Really feel like the door handles should be unpainted/black. Seems like there's a little 'too' much white on the sides :oops:

I'm looking for a Turbo spoiler to balance it out. It should have chrome strips really, and colour coded parts as standard. Ford skimped on the Mk3.5's :rolleyes:

Great interior and at least this one has the correct dash.

I presume they are Mk4 mats? I need some decent mats for mine but hate the Mk4 logo.
