PMSL, I was 90% sure of the car you were talking about when I saw it was a link to a Saph!!

IIRC, it was sold by NYRS Spares on here a wee while ago... absolute minter that wouldn't take much to turn from the state it looks now to an uber clean standard looking Saph.


Cheers,
Grant

Yep not hard to return it to how it should be as it looks really really clean if you dont like the kit

Looks like a good car really, even with the kit on, and a good price.

To be honest, it seems like a total bargain given the condition of it... doubt it'll be for sale for long, even looking like that.


Cheers,

I dislike kitted cars, but I agree ! Had alot of money spent on it and looks extremely clean. A well looked after Cosworth - that alone make it rare !

Looks pretty good to me (overall) and the God awful bodykit and bumpers wouldn't be too hard to put back to standard

I actually don't mind it, let's face it the Sapphire never was too good looking, so a non standard kit doesn't look much worse IMHO.

Of course, I own and drive a white sapphire, NOT this one though.
