Had a Very Productive Weekend :-)

[Mitsubishi-Mental]

Hi lads,

Completely devoted this weekend to the FTO, decided to spoil her and fix a few of the niggly things that were annoying me.


Friday


On Friday I collected a set of rear lights, new boot carpet and a slam panel for the bay. Top man Seb

Fitted them on that evening ;

New Lights -




The old lights were cracked, chipped and looking ropey -






Slam Panel went on as well -





Saturday


Went upto the market and got a wiring kit for the Subwoofer I decided to put in the boot, my mate helped me fit it, and after a few hours i had decent sounds







Sunday


Started by giving the car a wash and full wax
Polished the windows, back, front, sides, inside and out

then i put on the FTO Stickers, big thanks to JohnK on here who sent them to me free of charge -





Took the Induction kit out and soaked it in hot soapy water, rinsed it and left it to dry -




it was absolutely filthy, black water afterwards


Next i replaced the interior clock, changed the fuses and fixed the 3rd brake light.


Finished off by cleaning the uphosltery and dash etc -




Finished Product -














All in all it was a nice way to spend the weekend, happy with the outcome and it feels nice and fresh to drive


Picking up a rear strut brace and a nice backbox in Wexford next Saturday

Yeah i must take that one off alright, cheers man by stickers are you refering to my beloved ALPINE sticker on the window?

Should i colour in the FTO logo on the rear bumper?

[TopCat]

Good work! Its really nice to see the FTO in the more unusual colours.

Should i colour in the FTO logo on the rear bumper?

NOOooo! Ok, its just a personal thing, but I prefer much prefer the "clean" look. Minimal stickers, de-badged, etc. I think it would look tacky if your coloured it in, and I'd even suggest taking off the Mitsubishi badge on the boot too.

Nice work! One of my rear lights was like urs with the chips. It amazing how a new one can change the whole look!!
Question tho will it pass the NCT when the indicator is red?

Actually you dont need to use paint to change the colour of the FTO logo,i used a red sticker on mine...
By the way that FTO is looking really good! Just a personal opinion,you can try to remove the rear wing and see if you like it,i think it should look better without any rear spoiler

[MY-JAP-MISTRESS]

lookin good but deffo in need of a V6 in there

believe me its crossed my mind , but its a big project and big money, found a full conversion going for €600 but no rush to change the engine yet
