Default new addition to the family (with pics)

well kinda, its not an addition of the human variety.ive just brought myself another fiesta rst.
ive had no luck with red ones so i brought a grey one this time.i will post pics tomorrow as its too dark atm. but spec wise it looks to have a hybrid turbo(im guessin as it has turbo dynamics actuator) a full scorpian exhaust, k&n, superchip, bleed valve but no beiges? bit worried there. has konis and clear rear lights and an mcr splitter.inside needs sorting but thats nothing really

Looks like a good base but I hate that front spoiler it makes the car look like it's doing a Jimmy Hill impression and is so out of proportion with the rest of the car.

It's a known fact that grey Fiestas are the fastest

yeah the front splitter is too damn low, it bottoms out over ants ffs.im not a fan of all things stick on. i may keep the rear lights though as i dont think they look that bad now that ive removed the badges.

also im making(bodging) my own guage holder in place of center vents and clocks and will be fitted to dash 2nite and than dash fitted 2moro

fiestaturbo1984: I knew you would get another one, you need an RS because YOU ARE WEAK

I agree with everything you are going to remove, a little chavved up from the previous owner, and im also with you on keeping the clear rears, i think they go well on Grey especially seeing as the indicators are clear.

Oranoco: WTF Jimmy Hill How random is that
