Hey all, Most of you know I have a MK2 Sport - so it's pretty much base model, but I purchased a new Arm rest to replace my current console. I've managed to get everything off and unclip everything (took 20mins).. I was then ready to pull the old console out and re-place it with the new one.. as I was just pulling the console up i noticed it wasn't budging, so I had a look and the handbrake is catching on the plastic, making it IMPOSSIBLE to remove??!! Am i doing anything wrong? .. In the HOW TO he hasn't removed the handbrake nor a few others whos done this mod?! Pics below: Ready to

Ronnie, If you dont mind me asking.. how much did they charge ? PeteBKK, I might just to that :wink: - Do you find it helps having the larger intercooler? Cheers all! B

Thanks guys! I never rev the engine ANYMORE than 3k revs (only if I realllly need to) when its cold. But when I first got the car I was a COMPLETE noob and revving it from cold to quite a high rev number :oops: - I was such an idiot. :( B

What damage can revving an engine when cold do? On a diesel, what's the MAX rev's you would recommend from a cold engine? Thanks, B!

Ronnie, Did you get your alloys painted that greyish colour at CODE:RED aswell? Thanks! B

Thanks Dave! I shall put a piccy up once I've got the lights & had it re-sprayed!! Cheers, B

:UPDATE: Sorry for the delay chaps, this is my second MK2.5 rear bumper I've purchased as the first one was smashed in the post !! Never the less, I got this bumper off ebay for £60 with a slight scuff on passenger side, also needs a re-spray :) I'm a complete noob when it comes to car parts, but I always like to learn how to do it for my self, so thats why I started the removal of the rear bumper at 11am this morning and finally got it fully off at 1pm :oops: :D :D To confirm the MK2.5 rear bumper DOES fit the MK2 without any problems. See pics below .. I think it will look m

Donovan.. looks amazing! keep us up2 date on the mods :D Cheers, B

Ronnie, Car looks ACE!!.. they are the same colour graphics i want on my black focus... also, I can see your wheels are painted a 'machined' colour.. I'm planning to do that also, can CODE:RED do that aswell? Thanks again :D :D B

Ronnie, Smashing... I'm really loooking 4ward to this now :lol: Thanks for alll your help.. I'll be sure to mention your name when I get it all done :lol: :wink: BBBBB

By looking at his Display piccy it says '56' reg.. Sorry to hear about that mate, especially after all that hard work you've put into your car!! B

Ronnie, Ohh I cant wait now, just want to sort the body work out and fit some bits I've purchased firsttt... It might be an idea if I take the car to them, so I dont have to upload it (as Im only 12 junctions away from one code:red base) - But that means I will miss out on updates I suppose... Going back to the graphics.... I quite like the 'grey' ones to go on my black paint. I'll have to have a look at those before though (but I can't seem to find them on their w/site) Do they fit them for you? also, how much did it cost you to buy the graphics and get them stuck on? :lol: sorry

Ronnie, - Thanks VERY much for all of that info!! - ANDDDDDD letting me know about the FFOC discount :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: - out of interest, you know the square sticker things you can have on your car - do they also sell those? this image - the grey squares :) jimi_missel90, http://codered-chiptuning.de/uk/shop/index.php?cat=c12_Ford.html&XTCsid=94fc8c212d535b71092aa11da3339473 Its around £560 but Im not sure how much it will be including the FFOC discount?! Thanks!!! Excited B!! :P

Hey all, I have a MK2 1.6 tdci and was thinking (next year) to buy one of these CODE:RED devices to increase the BHP from standard 109BHP to 134BHP. I just have a few questions to ask; #Does this affect my Ford warranty at all? #Each time I have a service, does it wipe the computer so the code:red data has to be re-installed again? #If I disconnect my battery, does that wipe the computer again, meaning it has to be re-installed? #Would it affect my MPG? #Does it damage the engine in anyway (making it strain) - or what have you?? I've also heard of BLUEFIN - im guessing that do

Niceee... dont forget the pics :lol: ....enjoy your new toy! B

Just another question regarding the side strips - If you peel them off, how do you stick them back? Thanks B

Thanks Inzor! It may be an idea to buy the side strips from tezza... paint them the colour, then remove the old and in with the new :) ...Cheers mate! B

I've heard that you need to take the door card off to get at some clips so the trims come off?!? ..only what ive heard! As i want to do that soon aswell as my door handles. cheers, B

Oh right, thanks! B

richyharrison04, have you got a sound clip of your tdci with the piper exhaust? thanks mate! B

Nayan - I am paying for third party fire & theft £1500 from Quinn Direct! I have done a quote for next year (when im 20) and for £1400 thats Fully Comp with Direct Line! - woohoo! That is for a 1.6 mk2 tdci which doesn't include any mods yet... :shock: Cheers, B

Hope it serves u well Donovan, be sure to post some pics of it when you've got it!! Cheers, B

Will do chaps! ..Watch this space :lol: Cheers, B

Thanks mate, ive ordered the MK2.5 rear bumper so there's no going back now :D Thanks again, B

Thanks guys, I didn't want to purchase the bumper and find it wouldn't fit ! Cheers for the advice, B
