After having a chat with clayton ( a fellow rs nut) it occured to me that I havn't got a name for my car and I can't think of one that seems fitting, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has any suggestions Please bear in mind that whatever the name ends up as, my car will have to keep this name forever, oh and she's a girl car.

Heres some pics,

What do you reckon?

Clay

 

very good Clay but i'm edging towards "fluffy" like the beast on Harry Potter.

See you soon,

Ant.

 

its already got a name !?

 

Ant,

After looking at your photos of your MINT FRS i have noticed that the headlamps have a red bulb in them. Have you put them in or has the previous owner?

Clayton I was going to ask you about that!! I havn't put them in, it makes me wonder if it has had a knock on the front? Although I've had the car checked out and theres no evidence of accident damage. what do you think?

I really hate to say this but I think that car has been frontended.
The slam panel is missing a sticker and the plastic snorkel which wasn't fitted to the RS is covering where the VIN plate is.
It also looks like the slam panel/engine bay have been lacquer finished which doesn't happen in the factory.
Not to mention the wrong headlights.
Here's my underbonnet.

 

Flyingfocrs, are you sure that all frs wern't lacquered? I've got this picture on my pc?

 

Ford don't do a gloss lacquer under the bonnet on any car any more.
Either in the engine bay or under the bonnet.
Saves them a few quid a car.
Regardless of that the fact that it has normal focus headlights and the air filter snorkel for an air filter that isn't there still has to make you wonder.

 

Good point Although I've had this car checked out and theres no evidence of damage? I think I'll contact the previous owner. I'll let you know how I get on.

rs4all,

After reading the comments above, i would definateley check with the previous owner about the history to put your mind at rest.

The car sill looks mint, but i would want the headlights and plastic snorkel putting back to original.

Under my bonnet the paintwrk has'nt any laquer.

I only notised the headlights were different.

Speak soon.

Good luck I seriously hope there is an innocent answer to why there are those differences.

since the focus rs looks kinda fat i would give her a name that usually only fat girls have...

like hilda, melanie, claire or something like that

 

got a st170 and it has not been lacqured under the bonnet.

 

blacknlow: lol

 

I've decided to call my FRS Christine (as in the film) because the car controls me and makes me clean her and buy her new wheels (original ones at that)

Clayton (Christines slave) oil rag, Joey or what ever you want to call me

 

After reading some of the comments above about the name of your motor and the fact that blacknlow said the car looks fat.

It is quite apt that you have picked the name Christine as this was my ex wifes name and by god is she fat.

Am I being bitchy about my ex.
