My car went for an mot on wednesday and failed on:

Headlamp aim,
CV gaitor clip
Anti roll bar drop link
Top mount nut loose / not tight enough
Rust on nearside sill (4 holes)
Rust on offside sill (2 holes)








don't you just love rust, wish i hadn't seen all this rust!!!

everrything is done apart from the rust now

Wow, was that all hidden by thr arch and skirts? Hope you get it all sorted.

Why did ford use studs to fit the kit and use piss cheap metal that rusts! doesnt make sense lol when you get that arch done take the studs out seal all the arch and tigerseal the arch on. thats what my skirts are held on with aswell

Rip Ben Elvin (jam)

it's going to be fixxed tommorrow. i've had quotes from £400 to £2000!!! Some places wanted to do a lower half respray at same time claiming they'll need to blend in the new arch panel and sills. Was thinking about refurbing my wheels like i did with my old fez (fiestasiphil knows which ones), i had original series one rs7's in moondust silver with a glitter lacquer. looked amazing in the sun, thinking about doing same to mondy rims whilst car is being repaired.

what you guys think,
Nice alloy silver with shiny small glitter finish for sunshine sparkle??

prices sound about right, similar quote to the prices I had for my rear arches - they just want to do a proper job with no skipping corners.

so it lasts longer

I better get sortin my bits of rust out before they get bad then lol

would recommmend people with skirts and arches to pull them off and inspect, i'm fixxing it on the drive way myself, managed to get the nearside done yesterday, what a nightmare finding good metal to attach too!!!

Once you start pulling panels off you'll see alot worse!

Good luck!
