Hey everyone, been a proud owner of a FL mk2 st3 since just before lockdown, main reason I'm still sane tbh...anyway, figured it's time to join you fellas as I'm just starting to to bits and Bob's, and this place seems like a goldmine of info. Plus I have a few question I will probably be asking.

Good choice mate... any pics and plans ?

Good choice mate... any pics and plans ?

Just tidying it up at the min, I'm quite happy with the standard power so not planning to do much performance wise yet, but that might change...we shall see.

Things I have done so far are:
-Removed the ST wing badges
-Removed the focus badge on the boot
-ST badge on front (not sure if its staying)
-Changed ST badge on boot to blue
-Stubby aerial
-Acid green fog light covers (might get another colour, undecided)
-Cut off the mid-silencer/resonate
-New tyres
I'm waiting for some carbon trims for the steering wheel and gear knob to arrive. They sent me the wrong colour so having to wait for them again 😫

Things I want to do:
-Need a OS headlight washer cover
-Wheel refurb/powder coat (keeping them standard)
-Paint calipers blue (NO! There is never too much blue)
-Paint exterior trims black, or colour match to car (fog surrounds and what not)
-Wheel spacers 15/20
-Wind deflectors (In two minds about these as I do find them useful, but starting to think they look tacky, I have them on my mk2 1.6)
-Rear plate tape is visible, but one of the screws is just turning and not coming out so cant get it off to tidy it up
This list is still growing

Oh and this 😀

I have a before and after of the sound difference it's made, but I'm sure everyone already knows the difference 😄

It's always worth a listen. I've resisted so far but might finally go for it !

For £30 and some time I'd say it's worth it...I don't know If the rain made a difference or if it was just that I recorded with my phone and the mic isn't the best, it does sound much nicer before and after in person. It's made it a lot more throaty and grumbly, which I love...and it pops, not intrusivly but enough to keep that grin ear to ear. And to be honest when your just pottering around it isn't much louder if at all any.
