got some s3 rims and did my first refurb this week, turned alright imo! wouldnt do it again though. they are ford colorado red, what do you think? same colour as on the focus ST and theyre really glossy in the flesh. car handles a dream now on weitecs and toyo proxes!
not bad for a daily drive Needs a sump gaurd for definate. iv got a THS decat, cold air induction kit + new inlet manifold to go on before its getting remapped..may splash out on a FMIC, may not. Want a 32 front + skirts next and il probably upgrade to 18's at that point. red or white in colour.
Positive comments welcome

Tbh, sometimes best way, place in Bradford shot blasts and power coats for £1 per inch, or £1.50 per inch for mettalics i think.

Is it me or do the front and rear wheels have different profile tyres?
it could be because one is dirty and the other isnt??
Nice though... WANT

Not sure i'd have done them red but they look like youve done a good job
I'll be starting the grueling task of stripping & polishing my M3 alloys soon.

neither the the a-team or any other car influenced the colour decision, just wanted a nice red to tie in with the red bits of the interior and didnt want to be a sheep and follow everyone whos gone day glo on their wheels. i saw a red focus ST and knew that was the colour i wanted, it was a bold move with little thought and i think, iv pulled it off!
Neil - not sure mate, need to have a look around, may even just get a mate to fab me one up. not a lot of the shit tray is going to be left in a week or so
Ed - you say that yet youve built/still building a show car? Did you not want people to look at that?
Joe- grills not colour coded, but isnt staying anyway..off back to standard.
