Question Let me know what you think lads !

If this car doesn't get the front page of a ford mag then I don't know what will !
Let me know what you all think. And does anyone know which magazine would put this up as a front page if possible or even a feature page at the least ??

Tanks in advance !





Custom made inter cooler from PWR in Brisbane. Sprayed the blue writing on myself.





Wheels came from compomotive wheels in uk





Wide arches make the car look the business!





Spoiler is from the bottom part of a cossie whale tale !

I think ambers would suit the front and I would have gone 90 spec rear spoiler but made wider. Looks well put together

With omex, you'll easily crack 200bhp mate. Looks sweet as

Am I really the only one that thinks the intercooler mounted on the front looks gash..

Otherwise good job that.

No. I think coolers should always be on the inside off the bumper. The rest looks good

Agree with the above I/C looks gash and the wheels need to be wider.
Its a average engine spec not worthy of a front cover the only difference is the wide wings and quarters all IMO

Yeh well I thought I would go for a look that no one else tried before and I seem to have pulled it off nicely !! I'm getting a heap more positive feedback than negative,
I agree with the engine not being far from standard but I'll just have to wait and see how I go ��

Really like that!! Not 100% sure on the RS bumper kit, but love the bumper cut out!

I'm not a fan of those alloys and the front cut out bumper other than that the rest looks alright.

Wheels were 2000 and 900 for tyres Ozzie dollars that is.
The kit is called the Gennini exclusive wide arch body kit I don't think they even make them anymore. Was about 1000 euro for the kit.

I prefer to keep a classic ford looking classic, don't agree with wide kits!

Other than that the colour is nice with the wheels, I/c don't like the writing!
Is this for shows or driving?

I quite like the look but it's a bit 90's to of been built now, I can't see it getting a feature as it's just a white rst with an off the shelf fibre glass kit on,
As others have said tiger stripes, wheel spacers, 90 spec wider spoiler and I'd paint the intercooler black or get it behind the bumper and you have a nice car
