Default My 3 door Rs500 at Ford Fair

Took my 500 to Ford fair today. First time back on the road for almost 5 years after buying it as a bare shell and building it up.

thats how you stand out and make your car individual mate, isnt always the best wheels for the car, or the most popular, that are the rite choice. like i said, i love them

Nowt wrong with marmite wheels.....I get comments from either end of the spectrum on my wheels, so I know how you feel

They remind me of a wheel that a very few of the old touring cars ran.....personaly I like them but I'd probably do the centres silver insted of polished...but thats just me. Paint looks great also!

It was also my 3dr's first Ford show in nearly 5yr after a long build up....glad it turned out to be a good one
