Twas a nice sunny day, so I decided to let the old banger stretch it's legs.

 

very smart mate for a rep!

needs the ford badge popping back on and maybe some nicer wheels? those look slightly cheap compared to the smart job you've done on the rep!

Dunc

 

Yep as siad oabove,very good rep though

 

Thanks mate,

Yeah I hate the wheels as well, but they're only gonna be used for the winter months. Can't make my mind up as to what wheels to fit ???

I got a replacement badge from my local Ford Dealer, but to honest it looks to be on the thick side ??? I'm sure the one that came off was a lot slimmer ?? Were there different types ??

 

id stick a set of comp TH's on it! would look hard as nails!

loving the rep as it is now tho mate, looks so smart!

as for the badge, i dunno! need a 3 door owner to ask!

Dunc

 

Get some better wheels for it mate.What engine is it then.

 

nice rep mate - get the original 15s on and side mouldings on it - would look awesome

 

Good thinking.There you go mate get some more bits sorced.

 

Looks good mate. I'd quite like to do one of these, then put something a bit different under the bonnet, but the shells seem to go for a lot these days.

As said, what engine is in there?

 

I've got this old thing !!

 

That's cheating

 

nice

 

looks nice mate,heres my rep i built when i was 19

 

Hopefully, I will be going Stage 3 next month, just need to get a chip for an L6 ecu.

 

Nice motor for a 19 year old, bet you pissed your friends off eh

 

DEARO that looks lovely but i would be extremely tempted to put the side mouldings and OE wheels on then a -35mm drop

 

I keep toying with idea of the standard look ?? Diamond cut wheels do finish the 3 door off

 

Looks well mate!!

Regarding the badges, you need an older style one, they are thinner and longer than the more modern type. Unfortunately you really need the light blue ones, but they are hard to come by, but if youre not super fussed dark blues ones will do!

 

Cheers Paul, I though it was thinner (D'oh !!)

 

Just go to local scrap yard. Dont worry about the badge being faded as T-cut soon brings thems up like new. Just make sure the chrome effect paint aint flaking off and be carefull when you remove it from the car.

Standard wheels and side mouldings would finish it off. Looks great though fella!

 

Cheers Stu,

To be honest the paintwork aint brilliant, the car could do with a respray, but I need to save the old pennies up first.

I've got an Uncle who's unfortunately disabled, but he's as happy as a pig in shit when he's washing and polishing cars. I would say the car gets washed at least 2-3 times a week, hence the reason it looks clean. In fact we've just got him a job at the local Taxi firm to wash their cars.

 

looking very good fella look's better in day light though lol

 

Why Helloooooo !!

Yeah was dark and very wet that night we met at the PF meet eh ??

I've now got some brighter bulbs fitted, so I can now see where I'm driving at night...

 

Nice rep, with the little touches mentioned it will look very nice.

 

Put some different wheels on the old girl this weekend !!

 

Much better, looks really good mate! This is my old rep

 

Much better imo

 

hi mate it look lots better with them wheels on and i think we need to do a group by on the side moldings as its letting your car down the same as my car

IT was good to meet you at santa pod mate

 

Group buy sounds like a plan

 

here here top idea

 

Heres how they look on RS7s

 

Looks alot better on new wheels!!

 

Well I finally got round to fitting a new grille mesh, Ford front badge, new heater matrix and seat bolster !















Has anyone got a replacement underlay/sound proof stuff that goes behind the dashboard ?? As you can see from the below pic I've got a bit chunk missing..





Spoiler removed to fit new rear widow rubber.





Next job, replace crap car loom

 

I would leave off the mouldings, maybe do the coachline and whack on 17 inch gold speedlines up front, 18's on the back and have the arches just level with the tops on the tyres

 

nice one

 

if you put the mouldings on and standard wheels - this would be the best rep out there.
