The front bumper is fucking hideous

 

sorry but that looks horrendous

 

i remember that car from the magazine features. Looked good back in the day

 

Use to have a cossie illusion front bumper, the delta thing in it now needs to go lol was the nuts back in the day tho!

 

lots of things looked better in days gone by ask my ex that ERST is pants

Paint the wheels SILVER replace the bumpers,swap the seats and it would be respectable. Also tidy up the engine bay.

 

Blast from the past! Think a girl had it when it was featured? Sure it was on the cover as well

Pair of 90 spec bumpers and wheels done in silver and that would be a completely different car like Glenn says, oh and throw the interior away as far as possible lol

 

Totally agree here, looks awful now but would take a few tweeks and it would be lovely. My 205 was an embarrassment when I got it, but now I am very proud of how it looks, all I did was remove the Halfords crap, paint the bits that were different colours and remove all the fake carbon wings etc...now people compliment it all the time...I wouldn't have been seen dead in it with all its Max power hey day equipment and graphics.


I can see there is a lovely ERST under there.

 

Think id be inclined to make make it back how it was before replace the cossie bumpers and keep eveything the same visualy just modernise the running gear

 

I wouldn't do that to my car but I do like it,get it bought!

 

I remember that. Was a fast ford cover car with a cossie style front bumper, not the delta front end (guessing that came later?). Was a smart car back I the day (at a guess, year 2000 when featured?)

 

Mad that's still about remember that back in the day a really fit bird owned it back then.

 

Love the shade of blue, the choice of bodykit however is horrendous.

As for the interior.... its a bit bright for my tastes

 

I remember this when it was in fast car magazine as said looked great at the time when I t had the illusion bumpers it's hideous now but looks like it's stood up well to time

 

As it stands I don't like but I can see the potential, not too much cash either for one of these

 

The blue paintwork looks good but not the bright yellow seats and wheels. Put an original front end back on and paint the wheels and it would probably be ok, as Its had quite a lot of money spent on it.Change the interior when a good one comes up and it will be a decent car for someone.

 

Listing says 'Cream' coloured interior Looks a lot like bright yellow to me. Could be a decent car with all the crap removed off it.

 

Defo yellow same as the wheels

 

Should be left as is imo, a reminder of back in the max power days, when cruising and being a boy racer was one of the better things to do on a Saturday night!

 

I agree its period correct kinda

 

Cream interio!? That's yellow buddy!!

 

I'm lost Marky, did you own this back in the day or just like it ???

 

Just always liked it.....its the only modified RST ive ever rely liked and see it featured in 99/2000 and thats made go down the mk4 escort route

 

Standard bumpers, repaint wheels and redo interior in... well.... not yellow and it'd be quite smart.

 

Be fair it's a lot nicer than this that got lost found and lost and found again




Found the cover it was on

 

That's not too bad when you compare it to this bag.

Jebus would have to pay me more than £950 to even sit in that thing.

 

Nasty looking car but given its got throttle bodies on it and maybe other bits worth having (I wonder if theres an aftermarket ecu lurking in there somewhere) I don't think the price is too hideous, you'd probably get £100 scrap for the left overs. The door cards are priceless

 

Some of these types of cars haven't aged well, but I always admired the work and effort that went into them. Nowadays, it seems that you just have to fit some wide wheels with a ridiculous offset, lower it so much that you can't drive it anyway, fill the windscreen with stickers and you're away

 

i seem to remember it belonging to someone in Swindon for a while

 

Be nice if you could get it for the right money and then decide which route to go
