Spent a while today cleaning and polishing so thought I'd take some proper pictures...

Quick opinion seeking now - I took the TDCI badge off the boot today (not through embarrassment, it was really tatty), should I either leave it off like it is now, replace with another TDCI badge, replace it with a mondeo Zetec-S badge (where the S is the same font as the Zetec part) or replace it with a ZS badge with the red S? I'm leaning towards the latter...

Leave the badge off, it looks nice and clean.

The other chaps mini is looking well too

Hxc, you should get some more photos of your Mini up. Looks good in british racing green. :cool:

Personally I wouldn't put anything back on. Looks like the car rides quite high.. might be worth looking into new springs to drop it 20-30mm?

Think its the angle of the driveway - the ZS is already 10~15mm lower than the standard Mondeo and the 18" wheels fill out the arches quite well. The ride's already quite harsh for my liking on it anyway so I'd be wary of making it worse

Decided to give the Mini a clean today as it was such as nice day.

Well, here's a picture of my pride and joy.

Probably but it came like that from the showroom.

Hxc, do you have any problems regarding your steering wheel? Mine seems to be off centre by quite a bit and has always been like that but it is starting to get annoying. :rolleyes:

Mine is a tiny bit off centre, but the car pulls to the left ever so slightly anyway, holding it straight means you are going straight. I'd say it's not hard to adjust but I don't know what the airbag wheels are like.

My trusty Focus, had it round about a year now. Want to upgrade to something slightly sportier.

iaind · 12 Aug 2009 at 18:29

Thats no excuse for ditching it in a river

Howard · 12 Aug 2009 at 18:44

That's a lovely looking Focus. 2.0 or thereabouts, judging by the brakes and spoiler? 3dr mk1 Focii look fantastic IMHO :thumbsup:

Is it a Mk1 or a Mk1.5? I've never really know exactly! I'm pretty sure because its a facelift that its a 1.5..?

It's a 1.8 EDGE, which does have a bit of go about, ideal for me just now!

Ideally looking to be replaced with an old 03 RS :cool:
