Finally got it on. The last bolt i had to take off has taken me nearly and hour. Oh well its done now, made sure everthing went back in properly.
Here it is:

looks good though now mate!

Im off to lower my car

Doubt ill do it today but the thought is there lol.

by **PMK3** on Sat Sep 02, 2006 2:45 pm

dont look too bad,but you seriously need to get it lowered you said you need springs and dampners bt you could just slap some cheap springs on for the time being.

by **festa-1.3** on Sat Sep 02, 2006 3:04 pm

Springs should be in the next month as i am starting work again in a week or so. So i will have money to spend of the car. Fogs don't work as there is no where to plug them into, unless someone can point me in the right direction. :lol:

by **Cfly** on Sat Sep 02, 2006 3:53 pm

look'n nice there dude, but as siad above, and imo lower it to the fook'n weeds. also noticed that u removed the pipe from the front of your air box, jst wandering y? think its better to have to on, more cold air from the front and all that jazz., but it looks well the bumpers on!.

by **supersport_red** on Sat Sep 02, 2006 4:19 pm

is that an oil cooler in the front? as i've never seen one like that, although i haven't looked at many MK3/3.5's! :lol:

by **Raymondo** on Sat Sep 02, 2006 4:23 pm

Good effort mate, its taking shape. Just needs lowering

supersport_red :is that an oil cooler in the front? as i've never seen one like that, although i haven't looked at many MK3/3.5's!

Thats a PAS fluid cooler

by **supersport_red** on Sat Sep 02, 2006 4:42 pm

ah right cheers

by **festa-1.3** on Sat Sep 02, 2006 4:58 pm

If you mean the thing that is on top of the airbox, its emissions cannister. You have to remove it to get to 1 of the bumper bolts. Fooking mission to get the bumper on. I'd say all in all it took me 4 hours to fit it :lol:

by **PMK3** on Sat Sep 02, 2006 8:44 pm

4 hours,fookin hell boy.i thought i was bad taking 45 mins to remove my xr2i front bumper with my head still spinning and the most savage hangover ever :lol:

,keep it up lad really taking shape now

by **festa-1.3** on Sat Sep 02, 2006 9:41 pm

LOL at hangover. It took so long because i only had 1 jack so i had remove/refit the wheels a few times which slowed it down alot. The max power haynes manual came in good use, if i didn't have it fook knows how i would have removed it. :lol:

by **Rhinopower** on Sat Sep 02, 2006 11:50 pm

my god, you are starting to see the light, a little bit of sensible lowering and some ford style wheels and you'l be sorted mate

by **festa-1.3** on Sun Sep 03, 2006 12:29 am

Lowering is coming soon. Alloys are staying! :lol:

by **mmorgan88** on Sun Sep 03, 2006 1:43 am

Removing wheels?? mine takes ten mins with wheels on ull learn lol

by **festa-1.3** on Sun Sep 03, 2006 1:57 pm

With wheels on? :-?

Do you take out headlight or something. It would be good to know because 4 hours is a piss take if i need to take it off again. :lol:

by **supersport_red** on Sun Sep 03, 2006 2:08 pm

do you own a pair of axle stands? they will help! means you can have the car on the axle stands and still have the jack free, plus you can get underneath to get the bumper off

by **knuckles** on Sun Sep 03, 2006 2:15 pm

festa-1.3 :Fogs don't work as there is no where to plug them into, unless someone can point me in the right direction.

http://www.fiestaguides.co.uk/content/xrsi_fogs.html

That is the guide for wiring up the si fogs. You will require the loom and relay for fuse box , the fog light switch for the dash and the loom which connects to the fogs in the engine bay.

Pm andy and see if he can sort you out with the looms. He has got a Si sitting around not doing anything.

by **festa-1.3** on Sun Sep 03, 2006 4:04 pm

Thanks mate i might look into that. When i have my MOT shall i take them out as they are not wired up?

by **knuckles** on Sun Sep 03, 2006 4:21 pm

My fogs was not checked for mot. But to be on the safe side remove for mot incase they get fussy.

by **joe boy** on Sun Sep 03, 2006 4:23 pm

leave em mate you dont need fog lights for an mot they dont come into the test

lookin good btw

festa-1.3 :With wheels on? Do you take out headlight or something. It would be good to know because 4 hours is a piss take if i need to take it off again.

took me an hour to do both front and back on mine. Turn to full lock one side get ya screw driver in on the self tappers. Lie on ya back under the car arm up onto the 13mm nut and untighten same with other side then it comes off

by **mmorgan88** on Sun Sep 03, 2006 6:09 pm

Yeah undid headlamp and can get to the nuts like that easy as pie, I also just turn the wheels to get to the side screws.

by **festa-1.3** on Sun Sep 03, 2006 9:37 pm

Fook

And i fort i was doing it quuite quick. :lol:

LITTLE UPDATE!

I got my turret covers this morning, fitted them and it makes the boot look so much better. All i got to do now is paint the back of the seats black again, they look horrible.

Before and after shots:

P.S i know the left speaker has no cable to it, i broke it the other day, gonna solder it soon.

by **knuckles** on Wed Sep 06, 2006 11:17 am

festa-1.3 :

Don't get into the habit of putting your keys in the boot ! Always keep them in your pocket....

Because one day the car will be locked then there is the possibility that you may lock yourself out of your own car, by shutting the boot.

Doh :lol:

by **festa-1.3** on Wed Sep 06, 2006 11:44 am

LOL. Forgot to say, a big thanks. to Adz for the turret covers. :wink:

by **andyleesy** on Wed Sep 06, 2006 12:28 pm

things are definately coming on! turret covers to make it look better, after lowering it - whats next?

by **festa-1.3** on Wed Sep 06, 2006 3:46 pm

Dunno, im gonna look at the interior again. Then i might have it respray'd but im not sure about that. :wink:

by **mk3badboy** on Wed Sep 06, 2006 4:56 pm

hows the bonnet going?

and how about the possibilty of carpeting the back of the seats? somoneone on here did his and it made the boot look 100% better

by **McGoo 69** on Wed Sep 06, 2006 5:09 pm

looking good mate!

A little bit of carpet makes a bigg difference!

Get the backs of the seats carpeted that will look cool!

Im going to get metal industrial plate for the boot floor and carpet the seats that will look good

by **festa-1.3** on Wed Sep 06, 2006 6:57 pm

Bonnet i've given up on :lol:

so im either gonna get it done properly or buy a smoothed (possibly badboy) bonnet, and get that done and keep the original bonnet take out filler and repaint it incase i sell the car.

by **festa-1.3** on Wed Sep 06, 2006 6:58 pm

I was thinking i might carpet them, like another guy on here did with suede or something. Or i might go the easier route and paint it black. Dunno yet. :lol:

by **adz** on Wed Sep 06, 2006 8:53 pm

looks good, u got a bargain after postage cost :lol:
