Very nice mate

COSSIE 1

Got an omp strut brace cheap lots of people say it looks nice in yellow ....so im in 2 minds what to do with it as theres 2 ways im going to do he engine bay
1. blue samcos, alloy header/swirl pot/power steering/ half auto specialist catalogue... and a candy apple red rocker cover....OR..
2. black samcos, alloy OR black crackle finish above tanks and keep mint green rocker cover or go crackle black or candy red??
so the strut brace will be either chromed or black crackle not sure??
what do u guys think of the above opinions what will look best??
pics of yellow brace as it stands....

Best colour for Saph's, get it on Escos wheels, it'll look amazing in that colour, seen it done and was probably one of the best looking Saph's i've seen!

Get the strut brace chromed IMO mate Nice Buy!

COSSIE 1

cheers, hope so i really like the escos rims was toying with getting them but i dont want to hack the arches to get them to fit and dont want the car sitting to low because of the ramp leading into the garage and mainly because 18" comp are gona look , on 215/35 goodyear f1's

Dan

You may will have to trim the arches on the MO's though mate, front's will definately need rolling!

Just bare that in mind!

COSSIE 1

COSSIE 1

well its been nearly a month since my last post...as the weathers been crap and my work hours the cars has been snug in the garage residing under my new car cover i got 2 weeks ago ......but today the sun came out so did the cossie for a bit of fresh air
i love this pic its shows the depth of the smokestone paint

the rear whilst warming up

and a side shot with the sun behind me......smokestone HAS to be the best colour for a saff

not long now and the car will be lowered , then MOT'd ,taxed then driven for the first time

COSSIE 1

have decided on the engine bay look im after gona be very similar to the below enginebay pic but the brace will be chromed to match the strut tops and the rocker will remain green....but black samcos look , with the stainless tanks....what do u lot think

Gary do u regret selling it???????

Brookesy

Nice to see Gary's cossie went to a good home, don't get samco hoses splash the cash on some roose hoses instead

G2 FSR

I do and dont? U usually do when you see a car and see it driving around by another person. But its gone to a good home so thats what counts

COSSIE 1

The last few days ive totally gutted the garage giving me at least 1 metre down both sides at the front opening to 2 metres+ at the back so i can do all work on the car and loads of room infront and behind(can probably fit a fiesta behind )....the floor is carpeted..and thecar lives under a nice cover....cor its more spoilt than me

M.A.D.RST

Great car, probably start seeing you driving around once the summer hits us
When Gary had it i told him to do black hoses and black crackle tanks and rocker cover

Do it
