I like the overall exterior look of the car not too far from standard but sporty looking as well.

i dont think it has enough power to go the sleeper route, especially the 1.3 badges, as a 1.3 ghia would probably not be that far behind lol

liking the ride height, the wheels, clear fronts, the front bib. your going int he right direction.

could do with a turby lump to make it a very interesting car.

Love it!
Seems like ages ago now that there were modded non-RS/XR Mk3s kicking about everywhere

I'd keep the XR front spoiler, looks well cool and pretty unusual to see now.

A billion times better than an oil burning Mondeo too
