Euro 4 110 intercooler fitted! Went well with no other alterations needed, apart from relocating the temperature sensor. The place where we were going to site it wasn't suitable as the air con connection was right in the way! So we eneded up locating it slightly further back.
Some pics of before during and after.

Haha, thats ok then, you can go for the more central part. Virtually the same place as the original location

Mine is the only Tibbe key I've ever looked at. I think my pattern may be among the more easy ones, thus, a bit of luck to go with my life-long hobby interest in locks and keys.

Interesting that they're still using Tibbe keys on the later Connects, my (slightly) older Focus's (oldest is 2009) use a flat key.
Well done with the hand filing, I've never managed to do that successfully, but you probably took more care than I did

Thanks Al. It was an enjoyable upgrade to do being honest, as it all basically fell into place!

Put some wheel trims on and put a new rear gearbox mount on as the torsion mount bolt had snapped

Finally got my delivery of some rockford fosgate punch speakers!!

After replacing the cd6000 for the Sony one, the cheapo jvc speakers are getting binned off.
See how it sounds otherwise its gonna be getting an aftermarket head unit. So today's plan is.....

Door cards off
Jvc speakers int bin
Better job sound deadening
Lube the living sh*t outta the locking solenoids (thanks kenton!)
Stick the fosgates in

Then probably look for a new head unit hahaha
