Nice.
It's in the best colour, but you need a rear spoiler :)
What size tyres are you running now then?

IVIUSTANG, we need photos :)

Sorry, but JRL is right, a T5 is a different beast entirely. Is my car a T5 as well? it's an inline 5 with a turbo... burns diesel fuel, but hey, it MUST be a T5 same as them sporty ones that burn...

And a rear spoiler, it looks naked without :)

All that work and they forgot to fit the thing that finishes any XC - the rear spoiler!
Love the painted plastic trims, hate the side rails and front bar.... the ride must be awful on those wheels,...

Skater, very very nice, but it NEEDS a spoiler ;)

The diesel cars in Europe max out on a limiter at ~135mph, and I can verify that they are solid and stable at that speed. I did about 50 miles with my foot buried in the carpet last year in Germany...

+1.
For a softroader the Haldex is best, for an offroader viscous or "proper" diffs are better. Which one is going to stand up to regular bathing and heavy mud - the electronic version or the...

To be honest, I don't know if they'd do it without you asking for it to be done.
They should do the tracking after changing the shockers but my main stealers didn't follow VADIS properly and didn't...

I'm not clear if you mean it judders sideways a bit on corners and hitting a bump or if it does it in a straight line and hitting a bump....
Mine has 4C also, and since it came from the factory a...

They have a good reputation over here and are always cheapest...

I bet you really have to clean the bumpers WELL to get that to stay on!
The amount of road dirt and waxes etc that are ingrained on mine it would probably just run straight off......

Original or white. The grey make it look like the wheels need a wash to get rid of brake dust IMHO ;)

Also, it is just me that thinks in the first two pictures, just changing the bumper colour...

These are the ones I use to check sizes :)

Just for your convenience ;)

Maybe if you drop the wheel size to 16" you'll be able to qualify.
215 x 65 x 16 tyres have a diameter of 686mm, 235 x 65 x 16 have a diameter of 712, or 26mm more.
I know for a fact that 235 x 60...

Brembo plain rotors and pads all round. Stops much better than OEM and much less dust as well.
Rotors seem to be lasting much better than the original also.

Next time I'll be fitting the Brembo...

Just wait for them to go bust and then go to the new guys. Sounds like it won't be long.....

My variation on cattlecars method.
Put it on gravel, get someone to watch the rear wheels as you do the JRL start. If the rear wheels throw gravel out the same as the fronts then it's working fine....

Sorry, but I agree with JRL. Looks like it's just come back from a repaint....

UK spec D5 is governed to 135mph, it hadn't hit it's top speed as it went from 130 - 135 rapidly then simply stopped accelerating ;) Must be electronically governed.
I tried it several times and it...

Bloody hell, you're lucky. My stealer wanted to charge me almost £200 ($330US) parts and labour to replace a xenon bulb until I pointed out the car was still under warranty.....

It's never...

It's actually no longer the selling-on value of the wheels that's causing thefts nowadays, it's the scrap value of the alloy wheels!

Mine came from the factory with locking wheel bolts, they deter...

I think in VADIS it goes something like this:

Take off the entire front of car, bumper etc.
Take headlights out.
Change bulbs.
Refit lights, bumper and all the other bits you had to take off....

or 235 60 16 if you want. No rubbing and the diameter is the same as 215 65 16.
Makes a big difference to the handling on the road, though maybe a fraction less good in snow due to the width.....

Just cover the rear bumper bit with kitchen foil and clear sticky tape. It'll give you an idea of how it will look and be dead easy to remove....
