teamSPB Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi everyone, thought we would introduce our new demo car...the Focus' replacement! Having had a VW Scirocco, Escort RS Turbo, Focus RS, Toyota Previa (still got), Vauxhall Corsa C (still got), it was time to buy something a bit more pimp and something I wouldnt mind adding miles to without worrying about depreciation...but the main thing was, it had to be more of a cruiser/pimpmobile lol! The main criteria for this car was;We can get 4 people in without any issueIt is a fairly rare car in comparison to most big prestigious cars - i.e. not a BMW 3 or 5 series that everyone already has or have seen heavily modified alreadyHad to have a big bootHad to have that 'pimp' statusHad to be nippy for a big carHad to have plenty of scope for some BIG plans I have in my mind!Had to be a decent colour with decent interiorAfter looking at endless cars including BMW 1-3-5 series which were ruled out straight away due to them being so popular and often looked at as 'mum and dads car' especially where I live! I started looking at Mercs and instantly took a liking to them...looked at the new A class, C class, S class, CLS, etc etc the A class looks SMART on the advert, but I specc'd one up and it was totalling to over 30k with the spec I wanted! The C class took my liking instantly, but again, they are far too popular....The S class was a good contender, but the CLS seemed to have ticked all the boxes for what we wanted and had that extra 'rare' appeal as most people opt for the S class...Dont get me wrong, its not a rare car like my Focus RS was etc, but in my local area, there are probably only a handful of these cars and I like to try to be different if I can....besides, everyone I know who has a CLS is old lol!Finally after looking at a few CLS', I found one I really liked, 320cdi, 78k on the clock, FSH, Black, Black leather interior, Airmatic suspension, really clean inside and out, Sat Nav, Bluetooth, DVD player, and didnt have the light walnut brown dash (instead it was dark brown lol)...a deal was struck and it was snapped up!!Some pics of the car from the advert...We have some nice plans for the car...including...20inch wheelsFull Rayvern Hydraulics installation with twin (or single, not decided yet) pumpsiPad mini installationMosconi 6to8 processor with bluetooth streaming from iPad mini or any phone2 Ascendant Audio Havoc 18" subs custom built for infinite baffle applicationsMosconi amplifiers8 pot (yes we had to go bigger than the Focus which was on 6 pot lol!!) AMG calipers on the front and 4pot AMG calipers on the rear360mm disc conversion (next discs may possibly be 390-400mm) on the front and 330mm on the rearAn after market body kit or bumpersetc etcWelcome to the build thread!!!teamSPB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamSPB Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Next up was to spray the grill black...I wasnt overly keen on the silver grill so I bought some plastidip This is a great spray which allows you to paint over any surface (no keying etc needed), and if you change your mind and want to remove it or change colour etc, it simply peels off like it was never there! I painted the whole grill black but im not sure if I will peel back the logo itself just to add some colour to the front...I will decide on that later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
