they seem to have completly ruined it by putting 1/2 a kit and spoiler on it, needs to stay black bumpers and spoilerless imo

buy it back and sort it out!

'' I forgot to Mention it also has a diesel Gearbox because it is stronger than the normal RS Turbo gearbox, to cope with the Power this car produces...''

Been better off not saying it as its bollox ''

The Car Is still Registered as a 1.3 So its cheap to Insure, tax etc
The shouldnt be allowed to advertise things like this, really fucks me off

If, god forbid, they were to be in an accident and a fatality occured!!

My car was XR3i on the logbook, and it could have been insured as such, but instead I did the (only) right thing and listed EVERY modification to the insurance company, even down to compression ratio of the engine.

I wonder how many people on here would get a "your cars not insured mate" if they took their car to their insurers for an inspection

Sorry to rant, 1st time in a while

NIce to see the owner advocating insurance Ford so some spotty little 17 year old buys a car they can't cope with. Really pisses me off
