I think Rich is right,

I think i like the orange ones better. getting coilovers close to christmas so not long to wait.

I was also wondering if anyone could explain how to create a signature?
thanks

i agree with most,with clear repeaters it will look extremely tidy. Lowering it will just finish off the exterior nicely. i would leave it after that

Looks lovelly.

Have you been on FT.com? All the kiddies over there constantly rave about coilovers being the bee all and end all of suspension (Mind you half of them think G-Max is a good kit as well ).

Koni T/A's with good springs will be ample mate. Trust me

No roll eyes required. Seeing as you both actually have FRST's and not 1.1's you don't fall into the kiddie criterea.

Reaon I posted the comment was that the steven720 posted about coilovers which according to a majority of the FT users is the only way of making the cars handle and further comments like Fiesta's handling well on 17" rims is laughable.

Add that to the fact I viewed two well known cars from the board that were for sale that were complete fucking sheds advertised as really clean (one mint) that were up at top money.

There are some very sound and knowledgable people on their and those people will know who they are and I have no intent to offend those people

My ones exactly the same as yours. same rims same colour clear indicators and standard looking engine bay, just got twin headlams on mine tho.. if your keeping original rims, keep the original indicators. if u change rimmage then change the indicators to clear.

lully looking motor tho, and in the best colour, not hairdressor red, boring as sin white or shiny one minute, dusty brown the next black.

thanks for the comments guys,
i had to take the wheels off for the winter (no point kerbing new ones)
i would prefer to keep the standard ones but the car doesn't handle for sh*t. and i have lowered if and powerflex bushes.

i just think i need wider wheels and coilovers and set it on the weeds.

has anyone got a pic or two for some inspiration?
