[andyorion]

I like the overall exterior look of the car not too far from standard but sporty looking as well.

[patch]

looks gud mate

[danny_boy699]

cheers fellas

i trying to keep it standed but with the feel of a 16i, toke it out the other day, and god it feels good to drive it again, can't wait till i get bak off me hoildays to get it insured again

[zippyobrien]

reckon you should paint the chrom window trim black mate,


but i like that, alot,

how bout a rs1600i front splitter?

[foreverwhite]

i dont think it has enough power to go the sleeper route, especially the 1.3 badges, as a 1.3 ghia would probably not be that far behind lol

liking the ride height, the wheels, clear fronts, the front bib. your going int he right direction.

could do with a turby lump to make it a very interesting car.

[Tonyt1t]

looks like u need some air in the front offside tire :P

[danny_boy699]

geting a 1600i bib for it once i find 1

trye was nacked but i got a new 1 nw

even though it only a 1600 it is nippy pulls will in every gear, got to 120 then shit my self and backed off

i gonna zetec it soon, there a lad round near my x g/fs that had it before that had a zetec in it so i gonna go and see him

[Ade]

Love it!
Seems like ages ago now that there were modded non-RS/XR Mk3s kicking about everywhere

I'd keep the XR front spoiler, looks well cool and pretty unusual to see now.

A billion times better than an oil burning Mondeo too

[danny_boy699]

defo better just 1 down side this needs a new gear selector

[danny_boy699]

finely fited my 16i spoiler

looks nice i think coments good or bad plz








going in to sspc for another cvh put in rear shocker change, other little jobs and paint work.

will cost me about £200 but will be worth it in the end, as i love the look of the car, then amount of good coments i get about the car off every 1 who sees it

[2litrexr3]

Looks ace dude tell you what i will keep me eyes peeled for a front skirt you keep them peeled for another spoiler im in need lol
