Aye, like the seats. Says its RS recaros but it looks like different headrests, 1600i style???

Never worth wot he wants.

I like the car shame about the arches.I think its a bit pricey too.If its an RS16i engine why has he got a standard cam cover on it or less he sold it for a good price.

Don't like the arches but apart from that it's not a bad looking car. Interior looks good but deffo not worth what he's asking for it, more like £2300-£2500.

I really like the smoothed look and think the arches are hard as fuck,way off on the money for what is essentially still a 1.6 scort,why didn't he shove a zetec in it and carry on with the carb theme?

It would be a very nice little car but those arches just kill it, look so out of place. The lad with that mercury grey S2 must have valued it for him lol

Pity he ruined it with those Arches! Would have been spot on with no forest arches and some nice BBS or Comp split rims....
