Cougar photos - finally cleaned

[liambeattie1]

Great weather outside today, so I spent most of it cleaning my cougar 'boost'. Waiting on front and rear light covers, rear bumper filler, and some decals.
Any ideas on improvements.

 

[Relliott6879]

That looks grand does that, Liam. Ideas for improvements? Lower it a touch.

and your mercury badge is on upside down

 

[liambeattie1]

The badge looks better that way round, does that say more about the design or the me?

 

[scunnycougar]

better? hmm.

Each to their own....but i dont agree, soz

 

[Relliott6879]

*moved to pictures and videos*

I wondered how long it'd take!

 

[PussyGalore]

Looks very smart indeed!

Nice Cat Liam, have to agree with Rich, cats look cool lowered.

 

[Nick1963]

Looks nice Liam .

An upside down flying M for Mercury...............mmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Relliott6879]

Does that make it a flying W?

[mofo sob]

Looking good there Liam - likin' them wheels.

Agree that it would look even better lowered - and howzabout a spoiler on the back whilst you're at it

 

[Sabre Tooth]

Very nice, I don't know whether you're planning on altering any body styling, or keeping an OEM look, either way, a spoiler would look cool on the rear IMO mate.

: Edit : Darn that mofo, he posted just ahead of me....................great minds think alike though!

 

[Nick1963]

......and perhaps a bonnet scoop





















It's late....... must be off :angel:

 

[liambeattie1]

Have any of you people lowered your cats, I have noticed a firm ride since moving up to 18" rims, will lowering it, say 25-30mm make the ride harder again? What is a reasonable price for parts? I do more than 300miles a week (mostly motorway running) so it needs to be on this side of comfortable.

Not really interested in spoilers on scoops.

 

[Nick1963]

These are the ones on my cat mate.

Here on 225/40 18s

It does make the ride a little firmer but not enough to break your back and lowering certainly fills the wheel arch a little, see...................

Pre 35mm drop Look at that gap

 

[liambeattie1]

What about comfort?

 

[Nick1963]

I still find mine comfortable with the drop even on normal roads and still smooth on the motorway. Imo it gives you a better ride all round

Looking nice Liam, but where is your original Blurple gone??? that was looking sweet...have you sold it and bought this one instead? ..confused????

 

[liambeattie1]

Been a while since I have been on, the left quad exhaust tip (in the photo) is a fake at the minute, planning to remove the middle silencer (already have the main cat out) and back box (on the left side) then weld the middle box in place of back box.

will the smoke then filter out both left and right side? Or will the force just push all the burnt fumes out the left?
