Yeah think im just gunna let pumaspeed do mine. Somet like £260 for springs and fitting.
I did it on my civic which was a piece of wee... But couldn't see it being as easy on a newer car.
Plus i don't have any spring compressors anymore.
Jack you would be better off trying a site like fordfiestast.co.uk
EDIT: Had a nice chap in a black Focus ST go out his way to go all way around a massive roundabout to catch me up down a road and signal me over to tell me i had a brake light out. Then he spun round and got on his way,
So sorted that out which was a lot easier than i thought it would be.

My 2 new (well 2nd hand) alloys have just arrived, in pretty much mint condition with new centre caps. Cost me £120 delivered which i think is quite a bargain 
Got them off a top bloke called Stason over on fordfiestast.co.uk.
Just took my car in to have the fat ott kit on. Bloke who is doing my car as gave me a number for his friend who does powder coating, says he did his for £25 a alloy. So he will be getting a ring soon.
Now just car-less for the day.

I have never been to a meet. Though seems a great day out.
Trusted instead.

Well one for people o laugh at me and call me a idiot lol...
Had my stripes fitted yesterday but the garage didn't put the boot stripes on as they said they wasn't cut right. Anyway, impatient as i am i tried putting the boot stripes on my self early this morning to find out the garage was correct, so pulled the boot stripes back off in frustration which then took some lacquer off, then seeing that i decided to love tap my boot which as now left a dent in my boot....
So yeah, great morning i have had.....Warranob i am...
So now i have a car what has a ott kit with the boot stripes missing with a patch of lacquer missing and a dent.

Yes.
Well went to fetch my new tailgate and fitted it yesterday. If anyone tells you this is a easy job, don't believe them....
Took me and my mate 5 hours to swap all the bits and tailgate over with some frustrating bits.
But is now spot on and everything is working sweet. Just needs the stripes replacing as the ones on it have faded a bit.
Also tinted glass what looks loads better
Old one with paint what i tried sanding down but gave up up lol, can't really see the dent properly:

New tailgate:
After 5 hours and some heavy rain :
Just needs a clean now.

Nice work! Was someone breaking their car for you to get a whole tailgate? Seems like a bit of a bargain for £100. Nice that you have a spare spoiler now!
You tempted to tint the other rear windows now?
A breakers in Doncaster had it in from a smashed ST and was a bargain so went and fetched it yesterday before anyone else got it.
Its mint condition and come with everything.
Yeah, deffo going to have to get the 2 rear windows tinted now.
Out of pure random curiosity i decided to put a bit of T-cut no scratches on the the stripes what are on the new tailgate as they was looking yellow'ee and worn out with a few scrapes here and there.
It has worked brilliantly! The stripes look as new as the stripes i have just had fitted and the scrapes rubbed out with a bit of elbow grease. really glad i tried it now! Guess T-cut doesn't just work on the paint

Isn't Tcut just a very light rubbing compound?
No reason why it shouldn't work. Plast-X would probably do an even better job!
O yeahhhh.... Ruin my parade....
I have recently had an mot and service and been told i need new front and rear brakes and pads.
can anyone recommend any sites that sell brakes cheap?
just the standard ST 1's will do
cheers
Eurocarparts
It is really down to personal taste.
Though i think anything lower than 17" on the big arches of the ST look stupid and out of place.

Well added a few more things that will be getting done in next few months
Trying to get a white splitter made.
Next months check list to be done will be:
Lowering on Eibach's ( me and mate are going to have a crack at it)
Spacer kit fitted
Alloys prepped and powder coated white
Kaylen mudflaps fitted. Not got stickers made for mud flaps yet but will be done.
New tyres all around (still haven't decided what to go for yet. feel free to recommend some for me)
4 red wheel badge gel overlays
Deciding whether to spray my plastics black and the fog surrounds white?
Not bad to say i wasn't going to do anything to this car....
