Hi might seem an odd question but i own a 3dr thats been reshelled with a motorsport shell, its got RS500 clocks and front bumper, but ive never really thought much about it. Until the other day when i was looking at some pics that i got with the car before it was written off. I happened to notice a RS500 badge lurking on the wing. I know this dont mean much but is there any way i can check the registration number or chassis number.

 

RS500 clocks ?? same as 3dr.
RSOC RS500 registrar will be able to tell you the chassis numbers and engine numbers for the 500's
i've got an old FF cossie special mag at home that also lists these, if i can manage to remember i'll have a look tonite.

chassis numbers............GG38600......to....GG39099

 

I didnt think that a normal 3dr had a boost gauge on the clocks like RS500s, might be wrong, cheers bige i shall go check.....

 

my 3dr has a boost on the clocks it a standard thing

That's a good link

 

All 3dr's inc. RS500's had them, Saff's never IIRC

 

Correct

 

do you have all the engine parts?

 

Got the block 205 with small core plugs, managed to find a bit out about the car. The one in the pic that i got started life in Ireland where it was written off. Was then brought by Rally Spares in Eye Green who re-shelled it onto a motor sport shell adding a few rs500 parts. So no it wasnt a rs500 but i still love it all the same.[/img]

 

Lets try that again.........

 

look nice mate

 

Cheers mate it should look better buy the end of the month, it had a new door at some time and as moonstone is not the best colour to match it stood out like a sore thumb. So its booked in for a respray, fingers crossed should look mint for the summer

 

do you know what the original reg was in ireland?

 

No mate ive got 5 pics of it 2 from the side and 3 off the engine the number plate is just out of one of the pics it was a d plate but i cant make out the rest. Oh and it was white...

 

nice 3dr

 

I'm also sure all RS500's had sunroofs..............the road going ones anyway..............

 

Looks like a nice car, are those Racelines 17" or 18" ?

 

as long as your happy with it mate thats what matters ,looks a good example.

 

Yep agree, looks nice.
When reshelled was it given a q plate or back to original plate

 

Sorry bout the delay lads been busy rubbing down all weekend Thanks for your comments... I guess it was put back on the original plate cus its not on a q. JHS there 18's mate bit of hassel getting them to fit but got there in the end
