And now i introduce you Phoenix! Following mods were done to the car during the last 9 months:
- Full new respray in Morello Red (new shape Ford Fiesta colour)
- Satin black roof with a hint of blue tinge
- Roof rails sprayed black
- Black smaller diamond mesh for front end
- Chrome side repeaters
- Both rear arches were cut about 5mm around the edge and rust proofed (so that 25mm spacers wont cause tyres to rub on arches)
- Ariel / Rear jet washer / Badges removed and smoothed
- Front bottom bumper line smoothed
- Front bumper fogs removed and smoothed
- Rear bottom bumper line smoothed
- Rear boot button circle (where key is inserted) flushed in
- Front dash sprayed black
- Battery compartment & under scuttle panel rust proofed and sprayed
- All black plastics exterior wise sprayed black
- GB pressed number plates
- Bosch Aero-wipers
- Richbrook sills
- Richbrook Handbrake cover and gaiter
- Gearknob gaiter
- OMP Boss kit
- After market steering wheel
- LED rear number plate bulbs
- Chrome Dial rings
- New splitter from Renault
- Two tone snail disc air horns (pair)
The paint wasn't crystal clean when the car came back from the bodyshop so i hired a professional detailor to machine polish the car to get rid of any light scratches or swirls that were caused by the bodyshop buffering after the respray. I was very happy with the result 
The car looks black in the pictures as the sun had gone down, but i will get some better pictures (including the new steering wheel and black dash) in the sun in the week to show the real colour
All opinions good and bad welcome.

Took the car out of the garage for the first time in 2 months, just to get it started for a while and get some light/air to the paint....
