finally found a decent one,was hoping to do a really nice job as i havnt seen any before,until i can afford the real deal its all i can hope for at the moment, stuck on colour choice so was wondering what is the rarest and also if there were any variations with paint/sticker kit colours?car is currently in ceramic blue
also,is there anywhere to look for the part numbers for certain bits so as not to get xr3 rst stuff,grills etc and also does anyone have the correct part number for the wheels please as im sure i remember it differs from the s1 rst,i think?cheers guys for any help and heres my new baby



p.s. and yes, the grills going just as quick as the wheels are

 

Sounds like an interesting project, there was a 5 door RSi going around on ebay a while back so why not an estate not many mk3 estates around in good nick anymore either

I think your best bet if you want to make a close replica is to get hold of a crash damaged/rotten RSi complete with all the parts you need (theres a write off on ebay at the moment for example)

It would work out easier and cheaper in the long run than buying individual parts

 

Thats a tidy looking estate.

Shame about that tragic grill though

 

Just spotted this on ebay, hope your attempt is better than this

i think the rarest colour is blue mate, i wouldnt worry too much about getting the correct part number wheels, they are very rare and almost identical to series one wheels (plus a set of 16" voodoos would suit it better )

 

GraphiteGray, i actually really like that estate! Not overly keen on the stripes but they are easily removed!

 

Yeh its not bad, must be rare in black, but if your gonna put the RS stripes on at least get them custom made to fit the 5 doors, looks so with the 3 door stripes

 

Yea i know what you mean, gonna watch that bad boy

 

I was only tellin ya

 

And i was only joking

 

I know

 

filthy lies

 

You want the truth? YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!
