i believe they are OZ, i know Reyland reproduced similar without the air ducts for the brakes, not 100% certain tho, edit: think they may have been comps

And have carbon fibre vents fitted to the fronts to aid cooling via these threded inserts.

really ?? i thought dark blue and cream looked shit

seeing as Kuwait oils Q8 brand was a iffy colour i would rather do a bastos or marlboro or carglass colour scheme.

I love the Q8 livery cars, but I think its because i can actually remember them very clearly from a kiddy.
The O.Z wheels are nice, i think the Speedline ones like the black one bottom picture look mega, would love a set for the Escort, saw a mk3 on them, looked the lick!

Lol i have seen you lurking on here and assumed you were a employee of Manheim Car Auctions not a bloke from Manheim Deutchland

here ya go for pics























just to rub it in i saw all the top drivers in the world that drove works sierras in many many liveried cars rallying. the thing that sticks in my mind about the sierras is the aggressive turbo's on them,no anti lag just a great fuck off side exit fan tailed exhaust belching flames and fuel,you can't replicate that unless you go full 90's group a spec which no one has done to my knowledge
