Haha, I'm still firmly a VAG fan really, but do like a decent Ford! 
I was offered this as a swap and seemed like a decent deal so went for it, don't think I'd have chosen one otherwise though! But I must admit, from a brief run round I was pleasantly surprised by the power from it. Only 150bhp but I guess the lightness makes up for it, not sure, but it certainly doesn't feel 'slow' anyway. Brakes don't feel all that great though, seems to be a Ford thing to put on brakes that are too small for the job lol.
It already has a Miltek catback. And I was given the Miltek decat but I probably won't use that as I like staying legal and MOT friendly. I did wonder if it's been mapped but the previous owner never said anything so I would assume not.
I haven't really got much budget at all for this though, the idea was to sell the '6 and get something ~£200 cheaper so I had £200 to spend on it. Not to straight swap with a car that I reckon is worth nearly twice as much but it's funny how things work out lol. So probably won't be modding it further any time soon, unless things up cheaply anyway lol!
I will of course post pictures in an 'other marques' project thread for it when I've cleaned it up a bit.
