now that needs a proper spaced number plate as that does look chav (D43 RKJ is how it should be!) and an original 3dr decal, looks like stevie wonder made and stuck on that sticker!!!

the decal + ford badge need to be stuck in the right place

lights look orite tho!

My mum knew he was going to be the smart one from the age of 12 when he began to wipe his own arse. Her exact words where 'We have a family in the genius'.

How can something standard be horrid?!? Ambers look fine, as do smoked. Each to their own though.


Car looks nice, But why 100k?

It's nearly as quick as the NON TURBO 2L duratec engined mk1 escort estate emerald has just mapped, that did 1/4 in 11.2@120 0-100 just over 7 secs, but no turbo in sight, owned by Dave Colledge of Retro Ford.

disagree there.i think on the escort cos the half smoked looks bang on whether the cars is pretty modded or not. nothing wrong with ambers either imo though.
just home sprayed smokes or clear/lexus are tacky imo


and like anyone willpay over 100k for that car

I hope no-one with a 4x4 Saff is reading that...

Despite all of the Seller's hard work, at the end of the day, it's not one of the original 5500, and really shouldn't have the RS badge on the back. And I hope the logbook doesn't still say 1600 L. All mods declared, sir?

And I might have missed it, but where's the £100,000 coming from? Current bid is £5,600.

Ambers or smoked is personal taste - labelling them 'Chav' is just plain silly. Gaudy lexus lights are Chav, but fitting OE stuff isn't IMO.

I cannot stand the look of the standard amber lights either, why do you think they stopped putting them on the newer cars its because the amber does not go with anything else on the car who wants bright orange stuck on each corner of there car its only people in ford circles who thinks ambers are cool
