If I'm honest I don't like the way it looks I fit standard kit head lights and change the wheels and it would look so much better

I nearly bought that before booner had it and was 2wd. The owner was up for a deal on my saff but I was glad I didn't as I see booner had a lot of trouble with it not long after he got it. It looked mint when you owned though bud

I see some 18in rl7's for sale earlier and thought they'd look quite good with the wrc kit on

Never been a fan of the wrc kit but the biggest make or brake with a kit like that is the wheels. Mate stu has the same type of kit but his has huge wheels! Not my type of thing but it dose look hard as nails lol

Having owned a number of 2wd saffs, a 4x4 saff & an Escos, a driven a few 3 doors, I think that from a drivers perspective my order would be:

1)2wd saph
2) 4x4 saph
3) Escos
4) 3 door

Looks wise? Read the list the other way . But i'm a huge fan of a rear drive saph, fantastic fun cars IMHO.

I got offered a front bumper and both rear spoilers today for Ł400 I have a couple of people said they want to view at the weekend. If it doesn't sell then I'll get them bought and have it looking proper again

I keep looking at the add and i really like it alot and was going to make a offer but Im just struggling with the fact theres no real paper trail and the way the stamping is in the floor
