depends really on the "outcome" say you get some after market lowering springs which in turn cause the dampers to leak. Ford could say as a result of the springs being fitted its put extra pressure on them causing the failure (their way to get out of paying for the work). Just as an example, or alternatively do what you want and if it has to go in revert it back =)
That gearknob is wicked, i have the same wheels as you. Got them refurbed in black =0) Only thing i can suggest is the clear fog light from teamtorquesteer.com 30 notes
mod, was a right pain but didn't take too long to do it once i had done some exploring. Was a case of getting some boot light holders, making a couple holes ( one side i did cut a little too much ) and wiring them up to the courtesy lights
i popped to my local ford garage earlier. Im afraid to say im not impressed (yet) more because its only available in 5 door. When a 3 door is released i may have another look. In the mean time im thinking about an ST ;)
