Awful, truly awful.

When people point and stare, it's not a good thing - they are laughing at your lack of taste!

No shame, some of you people

Tiger striped stickers on a Ford.. and you're proud to be seen driving it!

No mate, tiger stripes on Ford are classic motorsport items, and its good to stand out from the crowd and not be a sheep - when I first got my 3 door, it was just too white, and was like driving round in a bedsheet, but now I have the kids duvet look I am much happier

forgive me if i am wrong.. arent you the chap that bolted an ironing board halfords metal spoiler on to the back of your old saph, and ran without an airfilter, just some b&q mesh over the compressor inlet?


now you have tiger stripes on your 3 door.....


I rest my case m'lord!

Since when was your road going Cosworth a classic motorsport car?

Being different is good - so would you advocate walking down the street in a pair of pink baggy trousers, dressed like MC Hammer?

No?

Why not? Ah yes, it's because it looks shit!

Ironing board was on briefly, yes, and I apologise prufusely to all RS owners for that temporary abolition. I was mentally insane at that point, of course.

As for the air filter, not guilty.

As for the tiger stirpes, they are quality, and are obviously disliked by the sheep


And fuck me, you have got a good memory, I thought the ironing board was dead and buried

No mate, my car is a track day car and only rarely on the road.

My car is an 80's car, and has an 80's look - seems reasonable to me.

If I went to an early nineties disco (God forbid) I might go in baggy trousers telling everyone not to "touch this" - seems reasonable too.

Whats wrong with that?

lmao, poor Tiff

I'm telling you though, the chav's down my high street loved it - they even endowed me with the "Burberry of the day" award for being cool and hip

Hang on, I'll find a pic of the ironing board for Dave.... he will laugh his c*ck off

Is that the paint known as Jam I see Alpina ?

Agree with Dave about the saff rear wing, it was ermm shocking !

Everytime I know see a similar spoiler on something I think "created by House Of Alpina"

Thank god the 3 door already has spoliers as god knows what you would of bolted to it otherwise

Cossie-nutter, stripes are growing on me but tbh I think its a HUGE let down that you copied Alpina, its what made his car different and I cant say its original anymore can I ! and wtf is going on with those bonnet pins ?

Maybe its just that type of bonnet pins that look wrong then if they are in the right place.

And Alpina was stupid to advise you to do the stripes as he should of known better
