Default 3 Dr i just bought off here **UPDATED**

heres the 3 dr i bought off mick320bhp, it needs a few bits doing but only miner, its hopefully going in on monday to have the front end painted due to a few chips on the bonnet and bumper, next saturday it is booked into grove garage to be set up and im looking for a new set of wheels (ANY SUGESTIONS WELCOME) im curently in favor of escort cosworth wheels










I had a bit of paintwork done on the car now and iv got a date with the dent man next week, but as you can see i have put on better wheels, had it mapped, rs500 grills and im waiting for my splitter, i think it looks better

Great looking car that, Comp MO`s do look well on them for sure, but imo NOTHING suits 3drs better than Split rims.....

I got the polishing machine out on it yesterday and its come up so much better, keep looking for a set of wheels but no one seems to be selling anything or they are all ready sold, on my old saphire i had Azev A's i quite like them or hockenheins, a bit old school really, split rims do look nice but expensive, whats the best offset as et 35 seem to sit in quite a bit.

I was'nt a lover of the black rims, turns out the car is a three owner, 50,000 mile car with all genuine date stamped panels, never welded or undersealed, and looking at the spec of the engine it should be running close to 400 BHP but want to get the car on the rollers to find out for sure. Also the car is running 4x4 running gear and grips to the road well.
