great work mate, nice to see someone still fitting the dimma kit. In my eye`s you cannot beat the dimma look on a 205,well worth the effort.

Looking forward to some more pic`s

Lol, welding doesnt really suprise me! Nice you have used all Ford bits in the upgrade aswell. Mate of mine has a completely immaculate (its literally completely rust free and all original apart from the battery tray) Mercury Grey S2 RST with a Zetec Turbo lump in. We put the whole thing together in my workshop so ive learnt a fair bit about them (not really a Ford man myself). Never quite got it running right on the KMS but he was looking for around 300hp easily i think.

 

Um 205 looks like its coming along nicely too...!
