No such thing as phase 1 or 2!

smiley7

O yes there is, your obviously not a true RS enthusiast tut!!!

AlexRS2782

Errrrr not quite - the "Phase 1 & Phase 2" thing was created by the car media/magazines, namely Evo when they did a FRS buyers guide - the reason behind it was things like the AF ecu map, stitched seat bases, pink throttle thingy, interior dash clock light dimmer, etc, and they listed these as "phase 2" updates on the later cars that came off the production line, compared to some early build cars that didnt have them.

However as has been proved on the RSOC countless times over, most of those items were easily retrofitted to the early cars, such as the stitched seat bases that some dealers paid to fix to cars that suffered from sagging seat bases & most FRS which left the factory new with the AE map were automatically given the AF map when they went in for a service

My FRS is one of the late 2003 built cars & has all the "phase2" items but not the stitched seat bases - there are also 2 '04 cars on the RSOC that do not have stitched seat bases or the interior dash light dimmer but they are late cars off the production line & therefore would be referred to as "phase2" if you believe the mags

Anyway back on topic

Just to remind every one this car is for sale!!!!!!!

rabmc

Ps mate why are you using one of my cars pics? the first one thats on the grass

smiley7

Coz i can lol, not taken many goods one of mine and i liked that one!! lol

AlexRS2782

Well if you're being serious & using pics of other peoples cars that is REALLY not going to help you sell your car is it - least of all on a specialised Ford forum

Edit - just to say not trying to be shitty at all - just speaking from experience especially with a car like the FRS - get some decent pics done of your own car & drop the press hype of the phase1 & 2 spec as most people know that it wasnt a Ford thing & that will probably help sell the car

You don't have a clue mate!

You know nothing about me, nothing about my car's!

I would post pictures, but you would probably try to pass them off as images of your own car, as you have done with Rab Mc's pictures!

Tell me the difference between the alleged Phase 1 & 2, and I will blow your answer right out of the water for you!

Lami

Im gonna enjoy this thread Darren




P.S. Mine must be a phase 3 then

Phase 2 is the version that has the Halfords/A1 Motorstore "RS" Badge fitted to the front grill!

But what do I know Paul!

cootsie

woody800

poor bloke only wants to sell his car always ends up on here as full blown arguement a pic is a pic its the car that sells the car not the pic

trying to sell your own car, but using someone elses pictures is a bit deceiving dont you think

smiley7

Not when they all look the same NO!!!! If your not interested in buying then why post a thread????

demonpete

i know this guys and he knows fook all i mean look at him

rabmc

No problems with using that pic, but again its not your car so why use it?, i recently sold mine and spent the day cleaning the car for those shots, do the same as it could help alot, but its really up to you, but personally its a stupid thing to do if your trying to sell YOUR car

demonpete

Use this picy if you want

smiley7

I take your point pal, just not had time to take decent pics of mine, but it is a clean example, just fed up of people sticking there ore in that dont want to buy the car!!! and people makin a big issue of phase 1 or 2!!!!!!!

smiley7

Would use that pic but it looks CRAP!!!!

Some advice mate

I spent alot of time on wording my ad just right, missing stuff like phases out etc, and took it to a decent place to make it stand out as it pays in the end trust me i have done the same with all my cars, do a search and see how i worded mine to get a rough idea of what i mean, also i would advise you to take thar rs badge off the grill or replace for the smaller genuine item or leave blank as things like that would put me off a car coupled with the phase patter makes me think hold on the guy doesnt know what hes on about etc

In the end i dropped my car to £11800 and got a good few calls in doing that and it IMO was a 12k+ car easy so maybe do the same to get more intrest as there are ALOT of good low mileage cars out there for not alot more

Just a few little things will get it sold if it it is genuine at the right price

iTrader: (2)

yeah, but you said they all look the same! so i guess that means that yours is........

smiley7

Yeah they do all look the same!!!!! Car now sold to some one that was interested in buying and not expressing their opinion, which is what this thread was all about!! Thats why i placed it in the FOR SALE section!!

Fastmaul

Until you drive 4 hours to go view the car only to it's all dinged up, and wings need repairing. Seeing a pic of a car for sale would mean that's his car not a pic of someone else's car. Shitty IMHO but it's now sold so good luck to the new owner..

smiley7

The new owner has had a mint car with low milage and never modified!! and only 1 previous owner!!

AlexRS2782

Really - how come the new ad on Pistonheads with pics of your own car then - http://pistonheads.com/sales/577149.htm
