Default Photn's New Ride - SILVER BULLIT

Howdy all. well after the incident with THE PANTHER.. i needed a new set of wheels. After much deliberations and calculating (bout 5 min worth) , and a great opportunity arising from no where.. i opted to buy a fellow Club members Car. A NICE LR FOCUS ZETEC 3door 2.0.

And here she is!










Hope you all like...

So let the MODDING BEGIN!

jury still out on the stripes... highly doubtful, but then again. the car wouldnt be a photn production without them.

basic things, like wipers, bodykit, Supercharger/Turbo and a set of sway bars, and polybushes. color coding and that.

ROFL @ "Basic Things", Supercharger/Turbo!

Well done Sean... the 'new photn' will be great, a nice platform to start from and an iconic car for the club in some ways.

Yep they're ST170 rims.

VDC Advance-Trac is the full name Adam. It's Ford speak for Vehicle Dynamic Control, basically Traction and Stability control currently known as ESP or DSC. Amazing how many names there are for the same thing!!

As for being in its heyday, it never ended!!! Still a honey of a thing.
