suggest you actually add pictures to this advert as they show up on another forum ok as not everyone can be bothered doing detective work following links to other places

philg12

I yet again have to thank Phil for putting on the photos of my rs.
This is the second time he has helped me out.
Top man Phil, many thanks again.

Fordmad!

After any px's?

colin r 59

Hello ford mad.
I might be interested in a rs turbo fiesta. Only trouble is they are fetching more than mine. If it was a minter I might px`s my rs 2000 for a fiesta if anyone is interested.

The car was original when I bought it.
Can easily take them off again, only stuck on.

I'd do that, it looks a really nice original car, best to make it look dead standard.

parky405

looks nice and original. 100% remove the red stickers imo. spoils it with them on.

other than that looks good.

good luck with the sale

colin r 59

Thanks Parky for the comments. I think I may of sold the Rs , waiting for the deposit. I bought opening side windows off you a few months ago.
Did not put them on after all. Felt they were not standard for an Rs 2000.
Your have had Mk5 Rs2000`s in the past so your comments were very welcome, I will take them off . Regards Colin.

Think that was known as a MK5b rather than MK5a. The twin bulge bonnet MK5 was just a MK5 wasn't it?! ...might be about off putting for some folk. I'd not had bothered looking if I'd known it was a MK5b, true story. ��


Cheers,
Grant

Minirotty

It is correctly as advertised a MK5a

Commonly known as MK5b though lol

MK5
MK5a
MK6


But, hasn't it got the wrong interior trim? Should be alecantra (sp)?

colin r 59

Think you find Grant my car is classified as a Mk 5 A. facelift model.
There is no such model as a Mk5 B.
Cheers Colin.

colin r 59

Hello Minirotty.
Thanks for backing up what I already knew. Mk5A.
My car was one of the first MK5A`s. Some of these early models had the MK5 interiors. Cheers Colin.

parky405

iv also seen a few early mk5a's with the mk5 interior like this before it changed to arcadia trim

Minirotty

That's it, arcadia lol

Not a bad thing, the MK5a/b etc trim looked horrid any way lol

parky405

absolutely, that arcadia looks shite

There's a high level of RS2K geekery in this thread, I'm out of my depth.

All I know is that I had an RS2K like this, epic car, but always wished it was an original MK5.


Cheers,
Grant

Hello all.
Thought I had sold the car. The buyer wanted my bank account details,
Which I was not willing to give him. The deal was done on ebay , but he did not have a paypal account. I hope I done the right thing.
So the car is still FOR SALE.
Cheers Colin.

Fil

Dunno the exact details on what the deal was with your buyer, but as you say further up your a bit new to all this internet stuff, I cant see why you might have concerns.

But mainly giving your bank details is safe, ie sort no and acc no, the same no's that you would be happy to hand over to anyone when paying with a cheque for example.

paying for a car with paypal, can be ok, but to me seems to ring alarm bells, as its really does favour the buyer into claiming his money back!

colin r 59

Thanks for the advise. Yes I think you are right. Never mind live, and learn
