i see you have swapped your front seats around, would be a nice finishing touch if you managed to find another passenger seat from somewhere

nice m8 check my rebuild out. nearly done but gonna get a respray and maybe get a black pinstripe too. Running real good at the mo so dont wanna tempt anything.
Search for turbo cab in restores section. Nice colour (what is it?) and like the morettes.Think the rs wheels really suit them. Got your spoiler and a standard cab rs one.Tried your one on mine and it looked like it was too big and styuck up high so gonna put my smaller rs one on. Nice to see another turbo cab in time for the summer.

I think it looks stunning with the full on front and back Ford RS drop skirts and the standard rs alloys but if you are gonna keep the twin headlights on take remove the spotlights as they don't look right together by the way perfect colour for an rs cab and get that rear spoiler back one mate.

I know what your saying mate but it only looks right with one or the other just try taking them off and you might like the look of your car better and you know you can always put them back on if you change your mine.

i didnt do it mate its been done on my car since it was 18 months old by ford! was a directors car or somethin, but everythin is straightforward to do, once u change the loom its just a case of boltin everythin else straight in, all fits no probs
