Good evening All
A few more pics of the seats removed, gonna be covered in cow hide, should all be done within the next week or two.

I will be doing this too soon. Just got to design them. You doing yours yourself?

Dont normally like aftermarket alloys, but yours really suit it!

Ye I've seen the fascia sold elsewhere. They are all the same I think. How much was the fascia then? Want to do it so I can play my music through Bluetooth as opposed to have to plug in to aux everytime

where did you find the brake discs and calipers?

Good evening Ben, I was um'ing and ar'ing about what alloys to purchase but I think I've got the chosen design spot on.....the only downside to this style of alloy, ITS A BUMMER WHEN CLEANING, it takes forever to makesure I get the alloy polish in-between all those spokes Lol.
Sadly I'm not a retrimmer, getting this done by a guy I've known for years and who's done my previous cars, I'm sticking to a subtle look but once its done it should be nice. I will definitely upload pics once the work is complete. Once the retrim is done I'm gonna do a rear brake conversion, gonna lose the rear drums and have these replaced with 4 pot calipers and 270mm discs.
If you can afford to change your head unit, do it, I use to use the aux lead to connect my ipod but found this a pain especially as it doesn't charge the iPod while its playing.
The fascia normally retails for about £150/£200ish, I got a discount coz I upgraded the door speakers and had a sub added.

lufc_lad - the front 4pot calipers and the 320mm discs and EBC pads were supplied and fitted by Hi Spec Motorsport. These guys are based near Dartford Bridge, the kit including fitting cost me just under £800. Can I say the brake system on this car when standard is good but once I had these fitted, my gosh it was sooo much better, I just touch the brake pedal a little and the calipers bite into the disc nice and hard. I can't wait to get the rear disc conversion done, 2 weeks!

They look really good... but £800 seems a bit costly

Looking good!!
I'm thinking of upgrading my rear brakes to get rid of the stupid drums! I hate them! Only really thought of it never looked into it though.. :S

HiSpec have quoted me £900 to supply and fit, theres a lot of metal work involved I've been told. Sadly Puma Speed or Puma Build can't confirm if we can use a rear disc set up from another model i.e. Focus on our car, if we could this will probably cost in the region of £300 to £400. Once I get my conversion complete I'll let you know how it went.

Looking good, will be good to see the finished result!

Good afternoon All, heres a few pics of the rear bench retrimmed in leather and the door cards being taken off. Fingers rossed the work should be completed by the end of next week.
