Shell looks nice and clean, should look good with the RS2000 kit on.
Would love something similar with a Fezzy Turbo lump in it

I looked at the rims n though 'wtf, hes paid for them to go on that?!' Then read they're off your saff
Looks very good, T-cutting must have taken ages to come up that well!

boot lid changed because of bad paintwork and it was cheaper to swap the boot than paint it and then i fitted a rear spoiler

although the rev counter is reading twice what is should be
i also fitted a bumper strip as i was missing it and i had a sierra rubber splitter kicking about so i tried that as well

I thought the rev counter would have worked ok in this!
That's a bugger, means my plans to fit some Zetec clocks to my little CVH 'scort could be in trouble
