[quote=Lee Ivatt;3991393]Why dont you look in germany, its where they were built and they were able to buy them a year before we could over here.

Not only did they have 1 or 2 extra/different featrures, but the car came in any ford colour you wanted.

Over here this is all we got
820 in Black
560 in Sunburst Red
530 in Diamond White
290 in Caspian Blue
250 in Stratos Silver
250 in Graphite grey

Theres a real nice brown one on the rsi forum from germany!

Also arnt the roads in the netherlands unsalted? Problem over here is we salt everything (well apart from the one day we did actually have snow last month and they ran out) Any car over 5 years old over here shows signs of premature rust due to the salt. And what the salt dont destroy or crap pot holes and roads do anyway

But I suppose like you say it makes my car even better really, to have such a clean example in the uk with those circumstances.

I own already a white RS1600i , and we also salt everything in NL, including our patatoes It's destroy's everything for our beloved cars...

But do you have a picture of the inner wings of the back end! Mine need replacing it's completely gone underneath
