Well, firstly i want to say how awesome this car is, yes only a saff i know (PORKIE) but the condition, spec and the way it goes is fantastic. You forget the buzz these shonky old Fords give you tbh, i mean the Evo was/is something else but the WHOLE driving experience of a cossie is great imo, the rattles smell, noises etc, you know what i mean..oh and the meer matter of 380bhp atw.......

So, here's some pics, just a few cus i'm not the picture type..









These just look.....SUPERBBBBBBB
























Not full of bling, but it's where the 450 bhp happens...






CHEESY.......... No blagging how GREY i've gone Dan.....






Well, that's it, just a few hope you like, give me you're honest opinions on the car...

 

looks well pete

 

Cheers fella, Max, you're right, scared me to death for the first 10mins...

Bedded the brakes too mate.............

 

looks stunning mate!

 

car looks nice and clean especially under the bonnet but the wheels look gash imo.

 

I love this car well done mate the wheels look a little bit like old skool venoms (dare i say it)

 

looks top

 

Tony,

You're dead on yes, my thougts exactly when Max dropped it off...

Max, bought these wheels remember folks so NO digs @ me.. they look better in the flesh imo.....

I've always liked the old style Mo`s so i think i'll buy a set for a second set of rims too...:thubup:

 

Tbh i like them wheels mate maybe try a set like my ones and see what you think you might like them better , stuning car anyway mate well done pall

 

very nice

 

Thats the ideal spec Saph IMHO she looks very well

 

staffi what happened to the mitsi thought you loved it on the way to silverstone ??
back to a ford again??

 

Sincerely I prefer the old wheels. (Hocks)

IMHO with the old wheels was perfect.

In any case, congratulations, it is very nice

 

Looks awesome Pete, i love those wheels, you have set a trend there



they wouldnt have fit under those massssssive brakes!

 

That looks the mutts nuts, I just want mine back now!!!!

 

Gorgous example mate

Shame you sold the evo though

 

Cheers for the comments folks, mixed replies on the wheels which is understandable, i think they're a great looking rim and need seeing in the flesh...

 

old wheels






new wheels





i do think the new comps look mucho better!

have you posted the pics yet on the MLR? lol

 

Looks awesome.

What happened to the evo you had? Still with you or sold on?

 

Looks amazing mate!

Needs a different tail pipe on the exhaust IMO.

 

I really do like this car... the way its been looked after really shows through.


But... i dont think the wheels do it any justice sorry dont get me wrong the wheels are a nice wheel but they have the wrong offset to look visually nice on a cossie, they need to be much more dished (like on a csl) to look good IMO.

ps.. i fully understand the 'whole driving package' of smells and noises

 

very nice saff mate. The cossies are an old car at the end of the day and if you ask me they look so much better than an evo or impreza.I like your new wheels to.

 

Yes Lee, comparing the two pics there they certainly look better imo too......

 

Lee (TIB) Yes mate, i understand your comments, they're more suited to a 3dr or Escos imo, as said, i'm defo going for another set so i can swap & change, but not sure what yet....



Euan,

It's a little 3" Mongoose, looks sorry for it's self in the pics doesn't it..

 

If its 3" then its cool but it does look pretty small in the pics

 

Max,

The Uniroyals felt ok too mate, i gave it some and they seemed to not light up the rear TO much..

 

Pete, with all these people saying those wheels dont suit it & think you should change them, there wrong i think, they look awesome, they suit it very well


if you want to change the wheels, you change the wheels, dont just change them as a few people dont like them on here...


Remember this is the FIRST Saph wearing them, there grow on people im sure


i myself, fucking love it.... it stands out from the crowd, much better than the usual Mo's or RS7's etc.... your be a fool to buy another set of wheels, just drive & enjoy it!


just my 5 pence worth...

 

100% agree with this! And it looks even better in the flesh

 

Lee,

I LOVE the rims, i haven't said that i'm changing and selling them.. i 'd like another set that's all, i'm my OWN person, peoples comments are healthy mate, i take no offence by them it's cool.........

I'm more buzzing of how it goes, i`d forgot how could this car is Lee........

 

just drive it you tart!

 

Awsome m8y .uv a very happy bunny now uv got it bk

But both wheel choices look spot on imo, but i must admit, the old hoks do look the plums

But either way the saph is trully amazing,i just love it.credit to ya

 

Lol,

I wish you'd of been with me this morning, you'd of been screaming...


Did nearly 100 miles today.....brakes bedded very nicely..

 

that sounds sooooooooooooooooooooooooo wrong

 

 

Only you could of read into that that way Lee.....


They'd better watch out @ Combe this week.........

 

you coming now then?

please tell me, so i can ''No more Nails'' My arse before hand, as Super glue just wont do

 

stunning car mate love it with those wheels on .. just take a little getting used too.... i prefer the old school comp mo ...but these do compliment your stunning car, enjoy it .cheers jeff

 

Looks nice side on,but the 3/4 shot they lok like a ross between hocks and tsw venom's,sorry really wanted this to work as i wanted to put a set on my flint saff,but think it would look better on 18" rl7's sorry,still a very clean cr though

cheeRS stu

 

I havent liked them new comps on any car ive seen yet sorry, rest of the car is awesome though!

 

Yeh i like them mate very nice, the whole car looks spot on
