Hey all, i will keep this thread updated when there will be something to say really. Waiting for someone to make mudflaps for the Mk2 and the exhaust.
I am waiting on mudflaps from MFF, i had private corespondance with them already, i am on the mailing list when the new flaps come out, and they also custom supply mudflaps out of keylan for the racing teams, as i need such ones as we get quite cold winters here, can get even all the way to -30c rarely, so i want the elasticity of keylan. I had Rallyflapz keylan ones on the Focus ST Mk2 i had and they were great all year round. I had also contacted Rallyflaps why Keylan ones were not available for MK1 in the last half year atleast and as i gathered from the reply they dont have a quality supplier for the material anymore ?
In other news either today or monday i will be doing first oil change, hit 1500 km this morning. Will be using Valvoline C6 oil, the price is very good, and the spec of the oil is also perfect.
If i can badger my colleague for some outside work acitivities maybe, big maybe, tomorrow we will be fitting horns, as i want to have a look behind the bumper before i order the ledbar, it looks like there is less space behind the grill and around the front crashbar compared to the Mk1, atleast visually.

Thanks for the update! I was also in contact with MFF, same as you, hoping they can supply just the rears, as I can reuse the fronts from my MK1.
Also waiting for an exhaust selection, as only Miltek has something so far. I still have time though, as my car is only arriving in November. I'm expecting that at least the eventuri intake will and boot floor mat will transfer from my mk1 to mk2

UK demo cars have come with a boot mat not sure if that’s going to be standard fit.Thanks for the update! I was also in contact with MFF, same as you, hoping they can supply just the rears, as I can reuse the fronts from my MK1.

My Premium had all mats included, but the shape and form is the same as Mk1. I am not interested in Milltek as i am only looking at exhausts with a electronic valve myself.Thanks for the update!

Well now, good morning ! Today i got up bright and early, way before the alarm rung, again...
Yesterday the car was washed, put in a dry garage, wiped dry.
This morning it was time for some Wax on, Wax off, but without my Miyagi sensei.... as he is far off in a foreign land at the moment.
Anyway, my Miyagi sensei sourced this american made Wax/Ceramic coat, and so i applied it to the most of the car, wheels included, except the roof and the glass.
Now it will sit in the garage for 24 hours. And then tomorrow me and the missus have our 8 year anniversary, we will be going on a 5 hour roundtrip for some celebratory lunch.

Good morning !
Received the mats today, for 140 EUR, shipped, cover the whole car, and with a present. It is not a bad deal,
Its just a small thing for me, i expected them to be heavier and more elastic, instead they are veeery lightweight and quite stiff, but after taking their form, for the price, excellent mats really. I just had different expectations.
P.S. It even had a small bit for the driveshaft tunnel top, which i did not expect, they all sit nicely as they have velcro bits on the otherside as well. I left all the original mats underneath, in an attempt for the road noise to be a little bit less.
On saturday, the Horn and ledbar will be going on, splurged yesterday a bit...

Do these mats smell (of plastic)?

I'll have to follow up on that, but inside the car itself the mats dont make any smell or fragrance, after being in the car overnight.
Probably a weird question, but do you know anyone willing to do undercoating for me and how much could it cost? After 2 Latvian winters I no longer think undercoating is unnecessary

There are many places that provide such a service:Probably a weird question, but do you know anyone willing to do undercoating for me and how much could it cost? After 2 Latvian winters I no longer think undercoating is unnecessary
Autospeci-most expensive, but most through and high quality 2k EUR ?
Then there are places like Kurbads that do Mercasol 600-1000 eur
Line-x do Valuguard similar price range
I did it myself and in material the cost was 70 eur maybe ? And the time it took, I already had all the equipment, but my car was brand new so that makes it much easier.

Right, so instead of Saturday, I did it all today.
Before:
And glorious after:
Horns are great, the extra light is immense, have to buy a decoder though, for now on a dedicated button till then, but the light is superb, and everything squeezed in as planned.

I was testing it when driving home after midnight, the way it looked to be straight on the car it was actually beaming too high, I even had to turn it down a bit, it is very wide, and after adjusting it was just perfect, not too low, very wide beam. And being behind the vents, does not hinder it at all, as all other led bars i have fitted have been either on numberplates or bullbars. So I am very happy with the result, pics will follow soonish was too tired yesterday.
