Ford Phokus...WIP

[Nickgt40]

Jon the car looks great as always.

With the smoothed front and rear bumpers I can't help but think that you should shave the door moldings but keep the body line in their place.

Been a while. Not a lot has changed. Its been to a bodyshop where its had a few bits done. Front bumper has been re-smoothed and painted, roofbox re-painted, rear arches rolled and some rust sorted. Its also been lowered more now on the front after passing its MOT. Next up, interior. Got something special lined up for the front seats too, and will be done asap.

Well, decided that Saturday was a lovely day to get the wheels back on



As you can probably see here (just after they were re-fitted) the car is now sitting a healthy bit lower (although to be honest, after this pic it was raised slightly due to rubbing issues lol)

Finally, a decent rolling shot of the car on the new wheels <3


And a mini-night shoot randomly done in Swansea




^^Slight over-exposure...whoops!


And the scene-stickers...I know I'll get a lot of **** for these :lol: but I'm not really bothered. I like them and its my car so s'all good



Just really wish I'd have got some tyre shine on it before the shoot :lol:

Ah well, bed-time now as early start tomorrow!

Very happy with the write-up fair play. Also decided it was time to lose the rear stickers...however I think it looks bland now so I've decided I want some genuine scene-stickers from the US and US rear lights.



Can't wait to get my wheels back on now. Want this crappy weather to go!!!

Cheers!

Mothafuckin' ET 35!!

Yea mate, et35

The speaker pod is securely screwed into the grab handle and we re-inforced the grab handle onto the boot/trunk lid itself

How'd you mount the fiberglass enclosure to the trunk/boot lid? Looks great.

Mothafuckin' ET 35!!

[JonD]

Cheers buddy. They are et35 with 5mm spacers on the fronts.

[Granny Gold]

What is the offset on those? Love the car as I said on FJ!

[JonD]

Thanks everyone I'll chuck a big update onto Focal Jet now guys *edit, just replied into the Stance forum under my old username random_hero

Alex, the wheels are 17x8 with 195/40/17 tyres and 17x9 with 205/40/17's. The car sits roughly 80-90mm lower with room to drop more. I only really get scrubbing with a full car, but I'm going to get the arches rolled soon to solve that

[Bystrov]

Plan-B FTW.. nicework

What are the specs on your wheels and tyres? also got a focus but having huge rubbings issues with my 16's
