Default Just bought a Cossie...

Been a fan of them for so long and now finally got one!
Exactly the car I wanted too, my exact favourite flavour of Cossie! Bought it from my mate Chris who wasn't using it much lately, so I already know the car well... (and have kept an envious eye on it for quite some time!).
Some might remember it from a Fast Ford story about 3 years ago when we went and bought it down in London and then blew it up!

Real nice clean car, 2WD, stage 3 spec, airtec RS500 cooler and rad', Escos rims, leather etc.
Will be going back to original ambers and cloth soon, and putting some nicer plates on too.





And here it is in the feature a few years back...

Lovely colour that mate, looks nice. Ambers will sure help. Wheel change wouldn't be a bad thing either!

I was using it for a few weeks, but today it was sent away to get a number of issues seen too. Hopefully it'll be all good when it's back!

It'll keep the Escort wheels for a while. A dark motorsport style would be tempting but I like the look and fitment of these ones so no hurry.

Congratulations, a really nice saff moreover it's a 2WD
Ambers is a very good decision, and to the Escos rims: why not, it doesn't look bad at all..

Been after a set of Saph leather Recaros for my Turbo Alfa 155, these would do the trick. And I really like cloth Recaros anyway!
