I must say chip,I do like those older 16v clios,much nicer than the phase 2 or 3 ones.
If I'm being critical,the Sierra looks great apart from two things,front numberplate,needs a nice dateless plate IMHO and I really don't like the colour scheme under the bonnet,black and yellow would have finished it for me,but that's IMO and I happen to agree that it's the quality of shell on any ford regardless of what model on the logbook.
Benni is right in a way though,you base model mutherfucka,leave those xr owners alone a reg boy!!!!!
