For christs sake save your money, if you buy this all you will do is spend £1000'sss and you will never get it back. Not to mention everyone, including your mates will probably laugh or be embarrased to be with you.

Im not trying to be horrible, weve all been there, 17, new licence and lots and lots of enthuasium! And weve all learnt from out mistakes.

Theat rep is gna need easily £500 just to get it on the road and probably at least £1000 to make it half passable. not to mention the £2000 to insure it with the rts engine.

DO your self a favour, if your really hooked on the RS cars then just buy an Rs turbo.
It will be quicker
Its the real deal (not a wanabe)
It will probably be cheaper to insure
And
You can quite safley sell it for the same price you paid for it.


Credibility wise id say your mates would look up to you more and the girls would find you more attractive in a standard 1.0L fiesta then a escos rep!
