Hi,
just want to show you some pics and infos from my cars life with an detailing maniac 🙂
Collected the car in April 17, build date is feb 17.
Packed my bag with some tuff for collection day
Love at first sight !
And it fitted in the driveway with one wheel in the air xD
And the first mod was a KN Air filter.
After some driving the first days it was time for his first wash.
Love the colour
Next little mod was a short shifter wich is in my opinion a must have for the RS
And the typical RS starter sticker kit 😀
Paint is covered with some Car Pro Reload. Lovely stuff !
A few weeks later it was time get the car covered in Ceramic coatings !
As iam i lazy guy i put the car on the Lift an started to remove some Plastic parts to cover them with Gtechniq C4
before
and after !
Foglight surrounds
The rear diffusor
The super messy window trims..
Those parts too…
The wiper arms
And the wiper blades
And those little things at the rear arch.
And finally the bottle was finally empty 😀
Next on the agenda where the wheels, brakes and exhaust with Gtechniq C5
Wheels done

Polished the brake calipers
and also coated them with C5
And the exhaust tips too!
Added some Osram Diadem indicators
Some Powerflex bushings for the lower engine mount
back in the car.
And cut those horible things on my wheels !! xD
Well…. some news here:
After some
I recieved this:
Remus Catback Exhaust…..
So without messing around 5 hours after the delivery of the Remus i put my RS on the lift.
10 min later tho stock box was gone.
#
And its done xD
And just like Fredeng said: Remus deliverd! OMG
1 day later we started in our holiday in the alps. After the first 200 Autobahn km the Exhaust got a nice golden touch.

Just a Little Vid from the GroßGlockner Hochalpenstrasse.
We had a great week there and the RS is great for traveling.
The Remus is insane those Vids dont do it justice.
On Friday i can make a update from the coated rubber parts.
Hi,
Over the last weeks i had enough time to work on my Car. First Thing was the shitty bootlight. Added a second one and replaced them with LEDs
Stock
With one led
And done
Those mats were a christmas present
After some Details it was time to take care of the Paint.
Started with claying
But as expected there wasnt much on the Paint. So next Step was some Light polishing.
I used my rupes 15 with a Light cutting Pad and some meguiars #205I started with some small areas to apply some vinyls
Rear bumper
The front
And one on the side
And finished. The Lift isnt fully lowered so the car looks even higher
After the vinyls i masked the car to complete polishing
The car was already i a very good condition so no major defects. Just light scratches and some light swirls here and there
The b-pillar covers where pretty Bad like always
Better but not perfect… Polished with my rupes Mini a soft Pad and some meguiars #205
And we move on……Polishing all day long.
Still with Rupes 15, light cutting Pad and Megiuars #205
Just awesome this colour
searching for defects…
But i found a stoneship in the rear door passenger side (UK driver side)
THose tight areas were attacked with my Rupes Ibrid
Awesome Tools
We are getting there
Some tiny defects in the boot
Also polished with the Ibrid
Finally a little 50/50
Rear lights
And sorted
The sun was having a look too
After all the polishing work i removed any residue with CarPro Eraser to get the paint prepped for the coating.
I also managed to make a small video.
The coating darkens those parts :nice:
Thats it for today
more to come soon
Iam not done yet 😉
This is the last part.
Ive completed the paint coating and did some other stuff.
I´ve coated the rubber trim too
Done with the exteriorNext up Interior and windos
Cleaned the windows inside out and the rest of the interior.
Then it was time for the new floor mats.
Few days later the was really some sunlight! Time for some pics.
Thats it for now.
In march the car gets its first service and after that i think i will get it lowered.
Not if only on springs or the KW DDC Coilovers wich are a bit expensive…
So long time no updates….
A lot done to the car.
In March 2018 the car went in for its headgasket recall.
To make sure the paint wont get damaged i did this:
Just startet to masked every area that i thought the mechanic could touch during the recall work :wink-new:
They gave me a hyundai i30 wich wasnt to bad.
The recall went absolutly flawless, they just changed the gasket
On my way home the car hit 10000 Kilometers wich is around 6214 miles
Usually i dont drive the car in the wet…. but i was already filthy from its stay at Ford so…
Time to check the beading
Then it was finally time to lower the car with the Eibach springs.
before
and after !
Also installed some spacers. Just 9mm per wheel, didnt want to much.
Installation of the springs was super easy. It took us 2 hours without any stress.
The picture is from April 2018… The rear springs settled a bit more in the last months.
Then some more small changes…. replaced the hoses…. changed the recirc valve to a Mountune one….. and installed the mountune SSC…. both parts where a huge PITA to fit…
Then i removed the for me useless rear wiper.
Went to the German TÃœV with my car to make springs and spacers legal…
Oh and finally after 18 years of driving i managed to curb a wheel…
A few weeks later the lovely Ford Performance gear knob showed up.
